It looks like the tail lights don't come on consistently when it is raining. I had assumed that if the green auto lights icon was on, the tail lights were on but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Today my wife was in our model 3 and I was driving right behind her and I noticed the lights weren't on for most the drive. It has been rainy in the bay area today so I got to do some testing and observe other vehicles. I noticed many model 3s and other Teslas without tail lights illuminated when I thought they should have been on. I paid closer attention to the little car avatar and confirmed that our model 3 also didn't have tail lights on. I had to manually turn on our lights FWIW I noticed other late model cars that also didn't have their lights on.
I don't know if this is connected to the auto wipers. The wipers definitely still need improvement so perhaps that's the root of the problem. I didn't think to test turning the wipers on manually to see if the tail lights came on.
