Did some searching on here and the internet but wasn't able to find anything relevant to my question.
Model S LR 2022 Refresh
My wife notices the lights on the gear selector/drive mode selector almost every time she gets in and starts driving, but I've almost never noticed it. Either I'm very inattentive to this particular detail (likely), or she is exaggerating about her experiences (also likely).
Does anyone know what makes the gear selector/drive mode selector lights on the console light up? I'm concerned that there may be intermittent malfunctions that need to be investigated. Any input is apprectiated.
Per the manual:
This discussion came up a few days ago because, as we were driving down the highway, all displays froze (including dash), and yoke controls (e.g. turn signals and lights) weren't working. The drive mode selector illuminated and after about 3 minutes, the screens rebooted as if I had held down both scroll wheels on the yoke. Driving ability appeared to be unaffected, but it was nerveracking nonetheless. Internet tells me that this is a rare but known issue... :/

Per the manual:
In most situations, these buttons are not available until you press one of the buttons to activate it. When active, the LEDs associated with each button illuminate and when you select P, R, N or D, the associated LED illuminates amber.
In situations where the touchscreen is unavailable (for example, experiencing a technical issue), [...] the drive mode selector on the center console activates automatically and there is no need to touch it.
