As a Tesla driver, I'm sorry and I don't like it either. I turn it off for normal driving but when using autopilot, it force enables the auto high beams. Arguably I shouldn't be using autopilot at night but ironically I was doing it so I could briefly shield my eyes when I get blinded by cars going the other direction.


As a Tesla driver, I'm equally sorry.

The auto high beams also turn on every time you stop and start the car.

The first thing I do when I start the car at night is disable them.

The auto high beam does sometimes turn off when the car detects oncoming traffic.

If it's any consolation, when autopilot is enabled, it also force enables auto windscreen wipers, so it will wipe my dry windscreen with a low frequency and a screetchy sound as it ruins the eye sight of oncoming traffic.

Eh, not quite even... would you do us all a solid and toss a few thumbtacks into your seat?


Caltrops required.


Sorry, best I can do is leave the heated seat on for a little too long.
