I’m confused, this is a feature I’m struggling with. Our Volvo has auto high-beam and basically when we turn on the high-beams using the stalk, they go on and then auto-off when a car is detected, then turn back on when there is no traffic to blind.
The Tesla seems the opposite. It seems the auto feature just automatically turns on high beams when it’s dark and nobody is around. I don’t mind it, but it’s different. The major issue though is you can’t seem to force them on except to hold the stalk. Our neighborhood has parked cars, Christmas lights and street lights. We have a lot of deer so my wife likes to use the high beams on these streets. It’s not dark enough for the Tesla to auto-high beam. Her Volvo is intuitive, the Tesla won’t seem to turn on unless we hold the stick manually. It’s unreliable enough that I turned it off so we can have the traditional high-beam stay on. Our roads rarely have cars so it’s not a major deal. Additionally, the Tesla low beams are some of the worst I’ve had in a recent luxury car.
Reading your post makes me think your’s works differently. I’d rather have auto-off after manual initiation than what I feel is auto-on only when crazy dark.
