I spoke with Tesla service advisor about this issue yesterday. They asked if the latest firmware had any impact on the symptoms, which I replied that it did not. They said that there are similar issues affecting some model 3 and model y cars that do have bad hardware, but they can determine from remote diagnostics if there is a hardware or software issue and that my hardware is fine. They don't have any ETA on when these issues will be resolved by software, only saying it affected "many" model 3 and model y with "the latest autopilot computer", but when asked for a number of cars they weren't able to provide that information. The only guidance was to wait for the next software update and if that doesn't resolve the issue, record datetime of issue(s) reoccurring along with video of the issues as they happen and submit another service request.
Mine does this also, was almost impossible to see the screen. Seems to be correlated with when there are no cameras working, including no front camera. I assume it uses the camera to determine how bright it is outside and with no input, it can't make a correct decision. Although I'm surprised a default wouldn't be full brightness. I also find that my headlights are cycling on and off when in auto mode when the cameras are not working. For the screen brightness issue, a 2 thumb reboot has corrected that issue for me temporarily.
My issues haven't been present the last few days and I was having the failures every day before 2023.44.1. However, my problem didn't immediately go away after the upgrade to 2023.44.1. It was the next day or 2 when issues stopped. So could be coincidence? If you set your car to the more aggressive software update channel, you may get 2023.44.1 and see if your issue improve.

Spoke too soon. Last night, all the issues returned. Stuck GPS, no cameras, screen stuck on full brightness, etc.
Yes, it drives normally when all of those systems are offline. The limited visibility to the rear and no blind spot monitors does make it trickier than a regular car.
Dang! Hope they issue a fix soon!
The car is drivable though, right?
Did you have the sentry mode ON all the time? I wonder if it goes to sleep, the problem will come back... I hope they are not going to reschedule my SC appointment this Friday.. Hope they can switch the FSD computer and solve the problem.
