Every time I drive in the dark on unlit country roads, I get a blocked/blinded error from the LF fender camera. This has happened repeatedly over years (car is a 2020), and successive software updates haven’t made a difference.
I understand when it happens in wet/snowy conditions because the camera is actually dirty; that isn’t the problem. I’m talking about clear, dry conditions with a clean camera. This happens on average every 5 min, which gets really annoying on a 5 hr drive from Toronto to Ottawa. The error disappears whenever there is a bit more ambient light (cars, houses, etc).
See pic, which I shared with Tesla Service when I made the most recent service request.
I can assure you that I cleaned the lens on both fender cameras before this pic. I didn’t clean off the rear camera…
I’ve raised with Tesla service on 3 separate occasions over 3 successive years, and the response is always “this is normal behaviour”. Of course, I don’t think it is. It never happens to the RF fender camera, or others. I keep asking to replace the camera, and Tesla keeps refusing.
Anyone else have this problem?
