Still an issue. Still waiting for that firmware update. Until then, manually activating parking lights each time I drive is how I'm handling it.
As am I. I sent the following email to Tesla:
"We just took delivery of our Model S 70 in Raleigh, NC on June 6, and we generally love the car. There are a couple of tweaks needed to improve the driving experience.
1. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). They do not come on in the daytime when the headlights are on Auto. I have to manually turn on the Parking Lights to get them to work during the day. Please provide a firmware update which provides the ability to have the DRLs on in the daytime with the headlights set to Auto."
To which I received the following response from California:
"1. We have noticed a software glitch that on the interior of the vehicle, the avatar does not indicate that the ‘signature’ lights (LED along top of the headlight) are actually on. This will be addressed in a future firmware update."
To which I replied:
"1. The problem is not with the avatar. The problem is that the Daylight Running Lights (DRLs) simply do not come on with the headlights set to Auto, which is the setting I and most drivers use. To use the DRLs during the day, I have to change the light setting to Parking. I confirmed this when I picked up the car and drove it home. My wife was driving the car we drove to the Tesla Showroom, and she confirmed that the DRLs were off when the lights were set to Auto, and on when set to Parking. The firmware needs to be modified to provide for a separate “Daylight Running Lights On” setting, which I understand was present on previous firmware versions."
Is Tesla unaware of the problem?
