Auto High Beams

[steve841]

Coming from a Model S where the auto high beams were PERFECT ... and my GM truck which suck because they dont work below 20mph.

I have not seen the Y engaging auto high beams yet.

Any comments on sensitivity? Especially from other S owners.

I have to go back for a service, so I'm going to have them looked at.

Try manually turning on the high beams. If the system is working it will turn them off when approaching an on coming car. It should work from then on. At least that is how they work for me.

Jimt29 is correct. They should be called auto low beams. If your lights are set to low beams, it will never turn on high beams. If set to high beams it will turn on low beams when it should, and then to back to high when it should.
That's how it works on the 3, and I assume the Y is the same.

Thank you all... I'll do that.

Yes, that makes sense and works as described on my new 3.

Auto high-beams worked fine on my Y. It turned on an off as it detected oncoming drivers.

I leave it disabled. I'll probably enable it when going on long road trips.

Thanks ... lack of memory to keep high beam set to on as mentioned above.

All happy now.

I've noticed this as well. On my X (with AP1) they were perfect and it stayed enabled because it was a physical position of the turn stalk. I also liked how they gradually got brighter (the Y is an abrupt change) On the Y, it seems the auto high beam gets reset when you turn the car off and the logic isn't as good and false triggers more often.

It's still cool though and I use it all the time.

On the Model Y I drive, turning the car off doesn’t reset the hi/lo beam. Checked it again Tonight to be sure.

It doesn't reset the setting, but you need to enable it by pushing the stalk away from you (which makes perfect sense to me).

Not on my Model Y. It just works. I don't have to do anything.

I'll check it next time I drive after dark, doesn't happen much at the moment.

Mine keeps reverting back to off

I'm sure this will be a future fix.. well I hope.
