There are several areas that require the use of headlights in the middle of the day, still need to be able to turn them on and off too. Also if you're driving in the fog etc.

Problem I have is Tesla now has 3 different turn signal methods. Legacy style, steering wheel buttons and now stalk up/up down/down. This is very silly pick one Tesla.

Neither do I, on any car I've owned. I just put them on "Auto" and never touch them again

Speaking of auto headlights I've been watching how it works on several brands it's pretty bad. Under a bridge lights go on (middle of the day) 2 seconds later they go out.

Both my Model Y and 3 go on under a bride, but don't turn off until I get out into the sunlight. I think the Ioniq 5 does the same thing, but not sure about that

They had the second click, they just returned to center after doing so rather than staying in that position until the reset.

I significantly preferred that setup because it had a more notable detent before transitioning from "flash to pass" to "turn signal". Newer BMWs that do it the same way as every other car are a step backwards, IMO. But I totally get how people may disagree with me.

Not sure if the amount of sunlight is the trigger either way there is some delay.

This is cool and will trigger the haters

I believe it was always available, after they shut down the "included" commercial free version. I think you just needed to open an account with them. Does it now work without doing that?

I switched full-time to Amazon Music Unlimited after the SirusXM trial expired, so never really bothered with checking back.
