DRLs stopped working

[Arctic92x]

Noticed on the way home that my daytime running lights stopped working.
When I turn the headlights on, the light up. But when set to “off” or when auto has them off, it’s all off.
Tried a reboot and it’s the same. Just ran update 36.2 recently.
While it bothers me that the cars not working properly, I’m not sure I mind the fact that no lights are on if I don’t want them to be.
Question is, do I bother with a service call to have both of them replaced?
Is it worth the hassle?

Thanks for reading.

Same here.

Going by Tesla history, the next update will probably have a fix for that.

Tesla software quality at its best. I got 2022.36.2 yesterday evening, haven't driven yet. Will have to check this.

I always do a Power Off from the safety menu and let the car sit about 5 minutes before driving, after every update.

Technically I don't think that they aren't DRLs, at least according to Tesla. They are "signature" lights. (In places that require DRLs, like Canada, Tesla just runs with the headlights on.)

Can’t be bothered by something not working if you can’t see it while sitting in the drivers seat.

If it is software issue, then wait. If it is hardware issue unless it is under warranty then not worth to spend $$$$$ on it.

Brake lights and turn signals that you may not be able to see from the driver's seat may help avoid others crashing into you.

I don’t believe it to be a hardware issue as they work fine when the headlights (even parking lights) has them on as usual.
I’m gonna wait this one out in hopes it’ll be fixed on the next update. This was more of a “PSA” in case others had the same issue.
Cars still under warranty for a while, so it’ll get fixed one way if another.

Cheers

Curious if there was any additional update here? I just had the same issue - signature lights stopped working as DRLs, but did work as DRLs previously. Just took into Tesla to look at, and they told me that my car (2018 Model S P100D) isn't even configured for DRLs - when he looks up the configuration for DRLs on my car it says "false" - an none of these have DRLs that he's aware of in North America. However, he had no answer for why they worked as DRLs before, other than it may have been a firmware/software update. Any thoughts here? At least I'm not being charged for the appt....

You probably need to ask this in the model S subforum since you are talking about a model S. Whatever (if any) issues that impacted a model 3 dont really mean much for a model S. They do for a model Y since most of those 2 cars is similar (till highland anyway).
