(random example pictures off the internet)
The inability is fairly well documented for the auto-headlights to reliably dip :
for oncoming traffic especially if off-centre eg on a curve;
when following other traffic the sensitivity for red tailights is variously hopeless
However I continue to be frustrated with other situations that they seem utterly incapable of handling consistently
this is not an incoming car:
It is a chevron indicating a bend. I do not need the headlights auto-dipping as I approach a bend on a rural road unless I choose to dip them myself. The auto lights will variously dip. switch back to main beam, dip again. Just wehat you need on an unlit unfamiliar rural road.
nor is this
I do not need the headlights auto-dipping randomly whenever they see a sign with a white background either. Same confused behaviour as chevron signs.
-----
This however is a streetlight road. It would be nice if the auto-headlights would recognise this as AP1 hardware did (likely just from the background level of illumination) instead of remaining on full beam.
funnily ehough the AP1 in my previous ModelS handled all of these scenarios much better.
More work to do Tesla.
