Actually I played with it little more. It's working great. First Tesla I've seen that both Side View and Rear View actually Dim when you flip the switch.
Not sure if it had to be in drive or something.

Actually so far they have not been bad. But I've been fooled before thinking they were working then didn't on my Prior X.
So I need to use them a lot more to see how they really are.
Did you notice when you put the wipers in Service Mode you can't stand the arm up !! They only lift like 4" off the glass.
Like some people do for snow / ice storms.
That was a really good Video. I didn't see any insulation on the door when he removed it.
My X was all sealed and I've seen other cars sealed too. Like a sound deadening material.

never did service mode. but noticed wipers take forever until they come on. almost blind before they clear the glass. i think it started 2 updates ago.
The feature on wife’s ‘22 MYP is hit and miss. They go from slow to bat out of hell mode with only a few perceptible rain drops.
It was near perfect on my ‘17 S. Haven’t got my new ‘22 S yet to confirm.

Had this car about a week and my auto wipers worked pretty good the few times I have needed them. Up until last night, I would have said the auto brights worked good too, but last night they were worse than I have ever seen on any car (and we have had 3 Tesla's).
It would literally kick the high beams back on with the on coming cars about 100-200 ft still in front of me. Its the 1st night drive for me since updating to 2022.8.2 so not sure if that changed something or the car was just having a bad night??
It was also very slow to dim the lights which resulted in several flashes from on coming cars prior to mine "flashing" them again right as we passed each other. A few people must have thought I was a real AH last night.
I finally switched back to manual for the rest of the ride home.
These are the strangest cars, so much tech, but cant do tasks that "dumb" cars have been doing for decades...I suppose one day it will be great.

They didn't want to fix it. Apparently within spec. I told them I want a new center console and ill pay for it if I had too. It feels like I'm waiting for a new Model S again they keep moving my date back.

For the light? A new one will have the same problem. They are all backwards.

Ultrasound being affected by heat? Do you get an error message? I haven't seen this yet.Apparently parking sensors showing not working (yet working if you don’t move) when parked in the sun is a firmware bug. This has to be a first
And yes the problem persists on 2022.8.2.
The Alpharetta service center swapped out my center console for the light issue. The new one works as intended.

Nice. Recently? Someone else said they swapped out the console and it had the same issue.

Yup! Leaving the car parked in the full sun for an hour+ now leads to a Park Assist Unavailable / Clean sensor code, along with autopilot features limited. Super annoying.
I feel like they’re blowing smoke here and, while it can happen, one of my sensors is actually funky in higher temps. Just which

Yeah, that seems like a bad sensor. I've never seen that error and I have parked in full sun for > an hour. Has anyone else?
On the 7th of this month.
However, they scratched the car getting it in or out. It's back at the SC for paint work to fix that now. At least they gave me a loaner.

Same. I had it reoccur with 2022.8.2, so I'm going to whinge into another service ticket
mine working well...better than our pre-refresh X
Sometimes I have to kick start them with a quick click of the yoke button. I do keep them on auto and have been please.

That's pretty low on my list. I'd like to get rid of the real problems first, like being able to close the passenger door, the half shaft vibrations, the squeaking from the rear seats, having a working console cubby light, getting rid of the yoke buzzing....
