Camera blinded/degraded warnings at night

[paintx]

So this is my first electric/Tesla journey with month old Model Y. Night driving brings warnings like in the attached snapshot. Naive question— Is that par for the course, or should I a) recalibrate cameras, b) recalibrate my expectations or c) ???

It happens fairly regularly. I find it happens most around dusk, the time of day when everything looks gray and flat. Of course, during rain/show/mud events things go bad regularly. Blinding sunlight causes issues as well, usually around sunrise and sunset. And then there are those few occasions when there doesn't seem to be any known cause for the "blindness."

there was another thread where this would happen on pitch black roads... basically, the camera assumes it's broken bc there is no light whatsoever. The fix was to signal towards the camera with the issue... the ambient light would reassure the camera / computer that it's working ok

That is me, first ten minutes of my commute is pitch dark

Yet another ding against the “we can do everything with vision only”-BS…

I get this everytime now when I drive over to visit my father on the rural highways/roads out in East Texas. I even put in a service ticket for it and they just pushed the latest update to my car and asked me to “try it again”…

Right. I would say right now option b) recalibrate expectations looks most viable…
I am not expecting miracles from vision based algos. If I can’t see in the dark i cant see how the side cameras would

It happens to me when it is pitch black out with no lights visible to the camera. Also happens every time on my way home when I am on a feeder road with a very high Jersey wall to my left.

Happens regularly on my 2022 MSLR at the same dark area of the road at night on the way home. I'm guessing street lights or some other light source is needed. No light scenarios don't work with these cameras.
