Headlights

Does anyone know why my headlights stay on during the day, I have them set to auto but there should be no reason they’re on during the day.

Thanks

It all depends on what the headlamp light sensor detects.

It’s literally this bright out, I don’t understand lol

Are you sure the headlights are on, and not just the DRLs ("Signature lights")?

Is the headlight icon on the display continuously? If so, you may have to call the Service Center and have them troubleshoot it...

Mine is like that too
It seems like during day time, out low beam and too portion of the light stays on

when headlight is turned on, the top portion dims a bit and that’s it.

im in Canada and other model 3 shows the same so I thought it’s normal. I had one of my headlight replaced already died to burned out led. Would be nice if we can have the low beam turned off in day time.

I just had a chat with Tesla online. The person confirms that the low beam turns on too. I specify that I’m from Canada.

Anyone from the states who can check if it does the same in us too?

My auto headlights are like that, but it usually goes off after a couple of minutes of driving in the sunlight. I've noticed a few times it didn't so I would then manually turn them off a few miles down the road under direct sunlight.

Since I park in a garage, my headlights come on every time I get into the car and put my foot on the brake (even with the bright garage lights turn on). However, it's a good reminder for me to just turn the headlights to OFF every time before I start my drive. If I'm already parked outside during the day, then I never run into this issue.

Mine do not (WA state, Sep 2019 build). DRLs (Signature lights, top of headlight lens) only, until the sensor thinks the regular low-beam headlights are needed. Headlight icon on the display shows only when the low beams come on.

FWIW, my headlights come on in the garage, but then turn off by the time I am out of the driveway during daylight. I doubt garage lights are bright enough to trigger the sensors; after all, they turn on the lights in brightly-lit tunnels, too...
