    I usually just move my mirrors to reflect it back into their eyes, easy with motorized mirrors

      Heh someone in a Tesla was blinding me from behind and tailgating so I moved both side mirrors and the rear view to aim them straight back. He passed around me over the double yellow line. With him now in front of me and in traffic I just flipped my high beams on and chuckled to myself until he eventually turned off and I put my headlights back to normal :)

        Get yourself a flipper zero and you can remotely fold in their headlights/set off car alarm/ open doors of any tesla model you like. “Allegedly”

          I regret to inform you as a flipper zero owner all you can do is amusingly pop open their charge port lids since the flipper can emulate the signal the tesla supercharger units send. I presume when tesla drivers charge up there this means the lid “anticipates” the cable/plug coming for it and opens on its own so the drivers can then make YouTube videos about it like they do with every minor feature. Most of us just press a button or pull a tab on our gas cap / charge port lids to open them but ya know. And it only works when they’re parked I think, at least in my testing. I only tried once on a model 3 stopped near me at a light but no dice probably because the car knows it’s not in park and the driver is still inside lol. But any of their models when parked are fair game, I even took videos for my Snapchat story after bringing my flipper to my local mall that has a Tesla dealership. It’s cool to see the lids how they look on the different models and try to guess where they even are lol the charge ports are like in pillars or halfway up the trunks somewhere lol. Also after a minute or two the lids close on their own in disappointment if nobody plugged anything in lol and yes you can just send the signal again to reopen

          What about the Hyundai, acuras, Infiniti, dodge rams, and every other car with 69000 lumen HID LED RGBLT lights? 🥲
