Users report FSD braking hard for oncoming car headlights
Unconfirmed: an owner of a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland says on Reddit that his FSD brakes hard or swerves when it passes cars with very bright headlights. According to his account, the problem appeared in recent months, nearly disappeared after some v14 version, and then returned. The user works night shifts, so the behavior occurs while driving at night. The post does not state the current software version, includes no video or Tesla response, and does not allow verification of whether other owners report the same issue.
- 2024 Model 3 Highland user reports hard braking when bright headlights appear.
- According to the author, the problem nearly disappeared after a v14 version and returned.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation from Tesla: the report describes a 2024 Model 3 Highland with FSD that brakes hard or swerves at oncoming headlights, a behavior that, according to the author, returned after v14 versions.
📈 Upside: According to the author, a v14 version nearly eliminated the problem, although he does not identify which one.
📉 Risk: If the behavior repeats, hard braking and swerving at night pose a risk to the driver and other vehicles, as the report itself describes.
