I don't have this issue when I wear my sunglasses, black frames, black'ish lenses, as long as my face is pointing forward. If I look away I do get the warnings. I'm on HW4. Have you tried different head positions?

My 2022 HW3 never gives me issues with sunglasses.
I have Oakley polarized mirror like lenses
Did you look at the interior camera view and it looks clear? Sometimes they get moisture in them and it blocks the view

I cover my camera and it never bothers me.

I have HW3 and FSD and it don’t care at all about sunglasses. I’ve rented a few Teslas with just AP only and it cares about sunglasses and touching the wheel.

Are laws concerning AP driver monitoring different in Europe? If not you can just cover the camera, only FSD requires it be able to see you

I have a 2020 model 3. I always wear very dark sunglasses (personal preference). Occasionally the car has an issue but normally it just copes.

Same here. Black sunglasses with black lenses and I never have issues with HW4.

I'm pretty sure it looks at what direction your head is pointing. I don't think it tries to see through the lenses.

Have you thought about contact lenses.

I don’t have the issue. I have prescription RayBan. Now I also wear standard glasses all the time so maybe my car knows 🤷♂️

Absolutely. If you're using autopilot cover that camera.

Polarized sunglasses bypass all attention monitoring. I sleep when the car drives me home pretty regularly. The longest I’ve gone is an hour. No alerts, no nothing.

Man, i wish the EU rules would be a little more forgiving...
I i don't apply enough pressure on the steering wheel, of don't look straight out, the autopilot stops for the rest of the trip

My 2020 M3 HW3 tells me that "Active monitoring not available" when I wear my shades.
