I took time some weeks ago to dig into the new Tesla Y with a lot of new lighting features. During my trip to Shenzhen I stopped in at a dealer to check details and be 100-per-cent sure.
Front signature: The Tesla Y has design aspects similar to the Cybertruck, with a full-width lighting signature. All videos and pictures released so far show only the position light function active. But it looks like the same in DRL mode—I checked for myself. Only the light intensity (and therefore luminance) changes. What is difficult to see in pictures, especially due to the PWM used for LED dimming, which makes flickering videos, is that the full-width light bar has different luminance intensity. Only a small rectangle, represented in yellow below, is bright with high intensity; I estimate 400 cd. The rest of the array, here in blue, has low intensity, I think around 50 cd.
