I’m looking out the window and the pony grill light has been coming on all evening. Anyone know if this has something to do with an OTA or other behind the scenes thing that might be happening? Or should I reset something. My wife is laughing at me. ?

How far away is your phone/key fob? Is it possible it’s detecting one of these and turning on the welcome lighting?

It's time for the airing of grievances!
I got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re going to hear about it.

^^

You can also turn it off in settings. I like it, but when I park too close to my office at work or if I walk near the garage, it’s constantly turning on.

I may turn that feature off, but for now I think it’s funny. The car feels like a new puppy when I get close. It gets all excited.

“Are you gonna drive me!?! Drive me please! Come on, let’s go for a drive!”

The keys were about 30 feet away and the headlights came on for a while and couldn’t get everything to turn off by locking it or things like that. I had also gotten some notification that a few features wouldn’t be available after the update for a period but I didn’t notice anything missing today.

maybe it’s an Easter egg in the OS?

Check the headlight switch.

Sometimes you have to switch it back to “auto.”

If you don't want your pony to light up I'll gladly swap you for one that doesn't ?

When I approach my car it senses me walking in the house and by the time I turn the corner I can just catch it turning off the welcome lights.

Now THAT'S funny.
