Hi everyone,

I picked up my IM6 Long Range yesterday and so far I’m really enjoying it! I’m not sure if anyone else in the UK has taken delivery yet, but I’ve got a quick question.

Does the car actually have auto high beam? The handbook refers to “Intelligent High Beam,” but I can’t find a way to get it working in the car itself. I’ve got the lights set to AUTO, but the high beams still seem to need manual operation.

Has anyone else tried this, and if so, what’s your experience?

Thanks in advance!

Very interested to hear your views on the IM6 after you have had it a few weeks.

What car did you have before?
 
Both my test drives were during day so I have not seen it in action.
I noticed though that quite a few of the tech has been copied straight out of Tesla's book.
With this in mind I presume the Intelligent High Beam will operate as in my Tesla.
Once activated the car through the cameras monitors visibility. If the camera's struggle and there are no other cars within their vision then it activates the high beam. If external light conditions improve or a car appears within the frontal cameras vision then it goes back to normal beam. And so on.

You could test it by driving the car during the night from a well lighten area to a dark road.

I came from 3 years in a model 3, and 6 months in a Mercedes EQA. Only having a day in the car, I can assure you it’s far more competent than the EQA and perhaps on par with the Model 3 in terms of its capabilities. I think the piloting in the Tesla was far superior than what’s available on the IM6, however it’s still very capable. The IM6 is miles ahead of both cars in terms of comfort and build quality.
 
I am glad you are enjoying it. I have placed an order today but have realised there is one thing I forgot to check on. Does it have pet mode like a Tesla? I think I read somewhere that it has a scene that may wok in the same way

Interesting?
What is pet mode?

What you set pet mode on a Tesla it leaves the air con on, disables the interior alarm, locks the door and displays a message with the interior temperature on the screen. Great for leaving your dog in the car. You can also monitor it via the app and check on the temperature.

Wow! I am so out of touch with all this technology. That is a brilliant additional feature for dog owners.
 
To be fair with owning a Tesla for the last 6 years and owning a dog I have never used it.
I would not reject a car just for this.
I know people use it for kids; would you really leave your kids alone in a locked car even if the air-con is on? I wouldn't.
As for the dog; it needs to be a really well behaved one...
I know my staffie would probably have eaten the screen and half of the seats by the time I would be back :P

I use it all the time, but I have a dog who loves the car and is happy to sleep in air conditioned comfort.
 
I believe it does have a Pet Mode.
My IM6 had a ‘Pet Scene’ when it was delivered. A few weeks later, that scene disappeared. I assume an over the air update occurred and the ‘pet’ was removed for some unknown reason.
