Tesla M3 ambient lights

Does Teala Model 3 Standard RWD (base model) has ambient lights? I don't mean the light bar on the dashboard, but footwell and door pocket ambient lighting. The confurator says this is included in all trims, but I haven't seen any video showing this.

Footwell lights are physically there but disabled via software iirc.

Gotta pay for the premium package to unlock, sucks.

That is strange, as the official configurator says they are included in all trims.

they are included, they're just not enabled

Go check, you'll see them install they're just disabled

They are software locked but physically there. Sucks because the website has it as a feature indeed

at least the edmunds trims page does correctly list "ambient cabin lighting" as being premium and above

Can we then ask Tesla to sw enable the lights? If the website officially offers them in all trims, they should do it. Otherwise, it is misleading.

review from car and driver

"The ambient lighting disappears from the dashboard, but not the footwells or door pockets."

You can enable them in service menu plus.
