First longer night drive in my SR+ last night. Noticed that while on AP on the freeway, the auto high beams were kicking on WAY too much for my liking, making it seem like I was flashing people well ahead of me, or even oncoming traffic. Fishing through the settings, it looks like to run AP you MUST have the auto high beams enabled, which means you need to manually disable them every time you engage AP. For someone with basic AP like myself, every lane change requires a disengaging/reengaging of AP, so this feature is a complete pain in my experience. Am I missing something here?

Auto high beams issue

No. I don't think you miss anything here.
I don't like it either but your experience is consistent with how it works as designed currently unless there will be some one smarter to fix it (such as to reinstall your missing Radar back to your car...)
The easiest way I’ve found to work around this annoyance with autopilot lane change reengagement is to use the turn signal stalk to disengage the auto auto high beams.

As I understand, in the absence of the radar, the car has to completely rely on vision , hence the high beam to see greater distance at night. In older cars which have radar, ( prior to the Tesla dropping the Radar ) will the behaviour be different?

I have an MS so this is just a shot in the dark
have you tried turning the auto high beam off when in Park when your profile is selected?I have an MS so this is just a shot in the dark
its a tesla vision thing (so not present in model S or in non tesla vision model 3s or Ys (ones delivered prior to the swap to no radar).

auto high beams suck at the moment. The only time they work reliably is on bendy roads where the AI can sort of catch the oncoming car from the side and switch the lights off. On long highways they are unusable. They switch off way too late for oncoming cars as well as cars you come towards from behind....
I do get that one of the cool things with them is that you can enjoy high beams even when there is some sparse lighting (unlike traditional auto highbeams which just wont come on if there is any light at all). But I wish thered be a legacy sensitivity mode....
Atm they are unuseable.

I'm hoping that it'll be addressed soon as this system is pretty backward for my personal driving tastes. I generally never use high beams on the freeway, yet 95% of my AP driving IS on the freeway.
More importantly, if the vision cameras really need that extra light to function at full potential, it just feels a bit like they weren't quite ready for primetime.

I like to think of Auto High Beams as Auto Dim. I leave the setting turned on. However if I move the left stalk to the low beam setting, the lights will stay in low until I move the stalk to High beam. Once stalk is in High Beam position, then the lights will Auto Dim as it sees fit.
Might be possible to use AP by keeping car setting for Auto High Beams to On, and then just control it with your left stalk.

I think the auto high beam is turning on far to late after approaching traffic has passed. In my opinion it should turn on immediately and when the approaching vehicle is on my side.
It has been mentioned already. There is no continuous high beam setting. There is only enforced low beam and auto-low-beam. You can see in the icons on the left side of the screen which setting you have enabled.
The only workaround if you urgently need high beam is to pull the left stalk toward you and hold it, i.e. abuse the headlight flasher.

There is continuous high beam.
With auto high beam active on menu, left stalk push switches between AHB on and off
With auto high beam inactive on menu, left stalk push seitches between HB on and off. This is where you can keep HB permanently on.
Yes, you are right. I had forgotten that menu setting. Sorry for the confusion.
It requires going into the menu though, so you cannot spontaneously change to continuous high beam while driving without diverting some attention. I will ponder the thought of disabling auto-low-beam as long as it does not work well enough.

for sure it isn't very intuitive. i had to poke around with it quite a bit until the logic finally clicked.
