Anyone went to see a movie in a drive-in cinema with their Model S in Canada? With DRL I feel this is impossible to accomplish since there is no way to close the lights and key the radio running..

Yeah maybe.. but no A/C and it's kind of meh to not use the sound quality of the car... I guess blanket or towel would be a solution...Bring a portable radio?
Doesn't the Headlinghts = OFF setting do what you need? (IIRC, it's in Controls/Driving/Lights). Then next time you put it into drive it will automatically switch back to AUTO mode. And if during the movie the 17" screen itself is too bright, you could put the screen into Cleaning mode, it will then stay almost entirely dark.Anyone went to see a movie in a drive-in cinema with their Model S in Canada?

the DRL are still on when you put Headlights off. Even on the car in the screen the light are still on.Doesn't the Headlinghts = OFF setting do what you need? (IIRC, it's in Controls/Driving/Lights).

Often I'll wait in my parked car listening to Slacker while my wife pops into a store for 15-20min. After I park, I press the headlights OFF setting and that turns off all exterior lights including headlights/DRL. I've not tried this for as a long duration like a movie (does perhaps the screen power down automatically after some time?) I'm not certain now that I think of it, but I thought the 17" didn't shut off as long as you were sitting in the car, but maybe I'm wrong on that...
That's strange. In my car (Canadian 70D, Dec2015), after putting the car in Park if I stay in the car and press the Headlights=OFF control, then both the headlights/DRLs themselves and the corresponding picture of lights on the control screen all turn off. Just checked and reconfirmed thisthe DRL are still on when you put Headlights off. Even on the car in the screen the light are still on.
It's been such a long time since I've been to the drive-in that all I remember are the speakers attached by a wire to a pole next to the car that you could hang on the window (and which pulled the window out when you drove off).Bring a portable radio?
I will try again tomorrow but it's hard to test alone if I stay in the carThat's strange.

Meanwhile if I try camper mode (car in Neutral, parking brake engaged via control screen), then it's true the DRL stay on and cannot be turned off as long as the car is in Neutral.
You have 2 choices, Leave the DRL on, and have the car stay on the whole time, or turn the DRL off and the car will shut down after 30 mins.
On the upside, tapping the screen will bring it back.
To have the vehicle stay on more than 30 minutes, the ONLY way is to put the car in neutral and engage the parking brake from the touch screen. All other "tricks" will result in the car shutting down after 30 minutes.
To turn off the DRL, the car must be in park (not just in neutral with parking brake on) and then you can select "off" on the lights to turn off the DRL, the 30 minute timer starts from the moment you put the car in park.
