DRL (Day time Running Lights) on refresh model S

[Chris++]

Does the new refreshed model s have DRLs on during the day? I just noticed mine are off when driving. I left my settings on auto for the head lights. The only option to have the DRLs on is to set the lights to “parking” to have DRLs on. Am I missing something here or do I have to setup another service appointment to get this fixed?

The DRL will be off if you have Range Mode enabled. Check this setting.

Any Idea where range mode would be located on the new refreshed Model S? I don’t see it.

If the new model still has it, try: Controls > Driving > Range Mode

It’s missing on the new model. Thanks for the help though.

I believe this is the only way to turn off the DRL. Yours must be broken.

He's not broken and you shouldn't tell someone things like that if you don't own one. My plaid I've noticed too that DRL's are not active while driving. I can see this when I pull up to cars and I do not see it in the reflection. I have my lights set to auto and I only see it go on when indoors in my parking garage. I'm sure that's it's just a software config that they need to correct and update.

Yes, thank you. They are currently working now. I think it was a software bug issue.

By broken, I mean it needs to be fixed, and is not normal. I suspected it was likely a software issue. The point is that it is a requirement in many states to have these lights on, and it is not working, thus it is broken. You can get a ticket for not having them on in some states. Tesla needed to fix this. It needed to be reported to Tesla and fixed. I am glad someone reported this to Tesla and it got fixed. What a picky post, 2putt4:

So what you’re saying is…they are broken.

If the Daytime Running Lights are not RUNNING. They are broken. Who cares if it’s software-related or not? They are not operating as intended.

I suppose you're right Broken I usually associate with a defective part and not a software bug. So what was the fix or did it just suddenly work? I have the latest 2021.32.22 software installed and do not see it working this past weekend when pulling up to cars and looking into the reflection.

Has this been fixed?

I don't see any options for Daytime Running Lights

Maybe I’m confusing the signature lights for DRL’s
