If TACC doesn't deal with motorcycles very well, how will will it deal with a car suddenly dashing across several lanes of traffic? I've had that happen many years ago. Luckily it took out the car on the other side and behind me!

Really? It's the first time I've noticed it. And I don't recall seeing it reported on the forums either.
The notification of a update complete is not new, I reported this in April in that thread: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/show...ne-Android-app?p=967026&viewfull=1#post967026
Seems they corrected the message though, so that's a definite improvement.
I have over 11k miles using TACC under my belt on 5, 101, and 280 and I know its limitations and edge cases.
The motorcycle didn't pull in front of me -- it lane split. I am hoping a Tesla engineer sees this post and can improve the feature. It will cause accidents with autopilot in its current implementation. The car is mistaking the motorcycle for the primary following car instead of keeping its bead on the vehicle in the lane.
Anyone noticed that the headlights and fog light stay on during the day, even when the setting is "auto"?

If enabled, fog lamps turn on with the headlights and can't be turned on independently. Auto causes the headlights to come on if the light sensor detects it's too dark or if the wipers operate, with exception of the manual single wipe. It takes maybe a minute (I haven't timed it) after the last wipe for the headlights to turn off. I leave my wipers off when it's not raining since auto has a tendency to wipe for no reason.My headlights 100% turn on and off. The headlights do come on during the day if the windshield wipers are activated. I don't normally run with fog lights on, so I'll defer to jerry33 on that question.
I doubt this is what smilepak is seeing, but I will mention we should also not confuse the DRLs being on 24/7 with the headlights being on. Looking at the garage, you can notice only the LED trim around the headlights being on vs. the headlights themselves, but if you are facing a wall and noticing light against the wall, it could be the DRLs.
Again, I don't think this is what smilepak is seeing because it wouldn't explain the fog lights, but just throwing it out there for anyone searching that may come across this thread and pick that message out of 177 pages!
Correct [emoji16]
When u go to the control panel, the picture if ur tesla exterior will show what light is actively on or off. I noticed it yesterday while driving back from SJC charging station the headlight and fog light was on at 5:00 pm reflecting on the car in front of me. So I check the control panel and toggle it from auto to off. It turned off the lights. Toggle it back to auto, lights came back on.

Interesting, I've never seen that. Then again, I have a D with autopilot, and it's likely rain detection is taking advantage of the different sensor suite.

So the headlights turned on a little before you would expect them to?
O man, if that's the case, I'm all for it. I've felt like the headlights turn on just a hair too late as compared to what I would do manually. I let them do their thing and leave it on Auto, since the DRLs are on.
Let me simplify that for you:In 2.5.21, I have found that TACC has major problems handling lane-splitting motorcycles. I was driving down 101S yesterday in the furthest left lane and traffic was slowing in front of me. There was a car at a complete stop about 50 yards in front of me while my car was going 40 mph. My car started to slow down, but then a motorcycle split the lane between us and the car started fully accelerating again. I had to slam on the brakes and I recovered with maybe two feet to spare. I have found lane splitting motorcycles to be a consistent problem for the Model S TACC that has not yet improved sufficiently.
