Model 3 headlight on app?

[ultimate_99]

Am I missing something?
I need to walk into a very dark parking garage every day and I would love to have the car headlights be on for me.
All the app does is flash them.

Yes. It’s a find your car in the busy parking lot feature. Just like when you click the horn button on the horn doesn’t stay on.

But what if I want to leave my horn on.

Sometimes I just like to be an a-hole and irritate the world around me

I also have a "START" option on my App, I never tried it but wondering if it'll turn your lights on if headlights are set to AUTO (and not OFF)?

As a side question, why do we need a "START" option for a car that's always on?

If you unlock the car with the app, the daylight running lights will stay on for a little while

Just tested it out in my garage, the lights do not turn on even when on AUTO.

Start button kind of cool, actually. Although not sure of real use cases. But you can hit that while you are far away from the car so someone else can drive the car without a key.

I think you can set the lights to stay on for a minute after you exit. Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Headlights After Exit.

Next enhancement request -

Controls > Settings -> Vehicle > Headlights on 1m Before Entry

I always felt this feature was lacking, my dodge charger had it, and also you could customize how long the lights stayed on, same for the exit headlights. I miss that too.

Yes a car as smart as this should know when you are thinking of going somewhere. LOL.

"If you unlock the car with the app, the daylight running lights will stay on for a little while"
I guess this will have to do for now. Not ideal and a safety issue as well.
thanks

Maybe it's a Zen thing.

So someone else can drive your car without you having to give them a key. It's actually super helpful if you want to let your friend borrow your car, I've used it a few times.

Interesting. Let's say your friend drives to the store. What happens if he locks the car? How does he get back in?

Presumably he calls or texts you, and you press unlock and start in the app again. It's obviously not meant to be used as the primary method of accessing the car, but can be good for emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances.

Honestly my biggest use for it has been if I have too many drinks and hitch a ride home with other friends, and leave my car at a friends house overnight. Then the next morning my friend who lives at the house I left the car at will take the car home for me, and I drive him back after. You can easily just leave them a key card too, but sometimes after a few too many vodka shots I forget to do that

But as Potato God said, you could easily get them to text and call you if a stop was needed. Not super convenient, but it's doable.
