Hello everyone,
I currently drive an X650 and it was no brainer for me to consider an all electric auto for work and keep the X for the weekends. (The BMW averages about 19L/100km .. I drive it hard the way it's meant to be driven)

So I reserved my MODEL S last week. #141 Canada. just for those of you that are doing the reservation updates.

The image above is the novsight auto LED headlamps for the 2015 Audi A8. My question is, wouldn't it be more efficient to use LEDs then regular HID lights? especially when we need to milk every bit of power.

Considering the headlights is one of the most important and mostly used devices in a car. Not sure about the specs of the A8 headlights but looks like AUDI is rolling towards LED headlamps for all their future cars. A7, A6 (2018) etc which leads me to believe that, they are better and more efficient.

Please let me know what you guys think and if LED Headlights might be an option a year away.
