Reports of FSD takeover prompts from sun glare in the Midwest
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user in the Midwest reports that, since the latest update on their HW3 vehicle (ver2026.38.5.11), FSD has prompted them to "TAKE CONTROL" when driving west between 3:30 PM and sundown. They attribute the prompts to extreme glare from the low sun. They also mention a few sudden pull-offs to the right. Apart from these episodes, they say they are satisfied with FSD. The post is an open question to the community, with no verifiable data or response from Tesla.

- Attributed to sun glare after HW3 update ver2026.38.5.11; no official confirmation.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla. According to the user, 'TAKE CONTROL' prompts on HW3 with ver2026.38.5.11 appear on westbound trips between 3:30 PM and sundown.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: If confirmed, takeover prompts in low sun and the sudden pull-offs to the right would require more driver attention.
