I've seen this thread about Model S (Can you set Tail lights always on? After rear ended too many times), and I'm wondering if there's a way to have tail lights always on on Model 3? I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, but so far, from reading the manual, I can see that they're set on auto every time you turn on the car. What is interesting is that this section in the manual is marked as "CAUTION":
CAUTION: The rear tail lights are off while daytime running lights are on. Be sure the rear lights are on during low rear visibility conditions (for example, when it is dark, foggy, snowy, or the road is wet, etc.). Failure to do so can cause damage or serious injury.
It would make a lot of sense to allow a user setting to have them always on. I don't understand the rationale that the (day)headlights are always on, but the tail lights are not. The cars are much more visible (granted, subjective) with the tail lights on than off.
