Not even the sun, you can clearly see the dust on the cameras lmao

Andersburn 2025-11-24 22:31

Why are you driving in the wrong lane?

Kevo_xx 2025-11-24 22:41

Your lenses clearly have a layer of grime or dust on them, mine don’t look that blurry even in direct sunlight.

fire-d-guy 2025-11-24 22:49

LOL

SleepingAndKissing 2025-11-24 22:54

i hear they’re planning to blot out the sun or something! that oughta help with this :) /j

short_bus_genius 2025-11-24 22:55

The biggest culprit is the front camera. The plastic housing off gases when new, and creates a residue on the front windshield. If you’re under warranty, Tesla will clean that for you, for free. I don’t know what they do about the B pillar camera. All other cameras are easy to clean.

Academic_Release5134 2025-11-24 23:05

You realize that’s the windshield lens, right? Easiest to make sure is clean

Kevo_xx 2025-11-24 23:09

No that looks like one of the fender or B Pillar cameras, you can’t see the view of the front windshield lens outside of the dashcam app.

rjcarr 2025-11-24 23:14

Yeah, I had my 3 for 6 months now and never had this visibility issue until now the sun is much lower in the sky and I get the warning all the time.

jcmustin12 2025-11-24 23:17

I am no Sherlock Homes but 100% that's the left B pillar camera. No other combo makes sense with the position of the car on the main display, yellow lines to the left

SilentSilentStorm 2025-11-24 23:29

Your camera needs cleaned

Academic_Release5134 2025-11-25 00:04

That’s fair. I am in the idiot!!!!

viper4774 2025-11-25 00:14

Yeah that's the new issue that came with V14.2

WayneFliesPlanes 2025-11-25 00:14

Yeah it’s either the B pillar or the left fender. Sun was back and to my left when I snapped the pic. I’m skeptical on the B pillar because I cleaned all my windows (and the camera) before leaving but I didn’t get the fender cams

WayneFliesPlanes 2025-11-25 00:19

Glad someone else said this. I swear I’ve been noticing more and more issues since that update

rjcarr 2025-11-25 00:35

Right, I get the warning on all my cameras when it’s a sunny day, but no warning when it’s a cloudy day, with no difference to my cameras, yet my cameras need to be cleaned.  Couldn’t possibly be the sun.

SilentSilentStorm 2025-11-25 00:41

I had the same thing happening in my car and I ignored it, that’s why I’m telling you. It’s the sun hitting the dust or residue a certain way and making the camera unable to perform. Even if the sun is out, it shouldn’t be causing any visibility warnings. It works perfectly now after cleaning. They did it for free for me at the tesla service center.

AmbitionHonest7734 2025-11-25 00:45

100 percent left fender cam.

NaturalCarob5611 2025-11-25 01:08

When I drop my kid off at school it always shows me a picture of my kid and tells me the camera is dirty.

rjcarr 2025-11-25 01:14

OK, thanks!

Impossible_Month1718 2025-11-25 01:52

Does anybody understand how fsd can roll out when the cameras are constantly alerting saying they’re dirty? I don’t understand how fsd can work when even basic camera get occluded in clean weather temporarily

19firedude 2025-11-25 02:56

It's not necessarily an "issue" so much as Tesla now taking advantage of the dynamic range and higher resolution of the HW4 cameras. The system tries to alert you more proactively about potential dirt debris build up because it has a greater effect on the overall performance of FSD now. It looks much further ahead, and uses higher quality image processing now.

DangerousSolution78 2025-11-25 02:57

I thought it was just some recent bad weather we’ve had, but I’ve never seen it up until like two weeks ago

19firedude 2025-11-25 02:58

Counterintuitively, you probably aren't getting camera alerts when it's cloudy because the overall image contrast is lower so the dirt is harder to detect. When there's a light directly on something dirty, it's easier to see than something in a poorly lit area.

ChunkyThePotato 2025-11-25 03:20

It's not actually occluded. It's a conservative morning. Even in this crappy picture of a tiny picture you can still see if there's a car in the blind spot or not. So it's not actually an issue.

Imaginary-Record-112 2025-11-25 03:24

U didn’t know that was a thing!? Easy fix lol

CarbonPhoto 2025-11-25 07:54

Which phone holder is that?

jaegaern 2025-11-25 12:26

This view is not available in EU. That's a shame. I just see that my camera is blocked, no preview.

JaniceRossi_in_2R 2025-11-25 12:50

Lazy ass can’t even clean the sun before he drives. Just putting the rest of us at risk like a selfish a hole.

JaniceRossi_in_2R 2025-11-25 12:51

Ope

JaniceRossi_in_2R 2025-11-25 12:51

I heard if the b pillar is an issue then they replace the entire cam

JaniceRossi_in_2R 2025-11-25 12:52

Looks like the repeater cam to me

Yes I acknowledge I am an idiot!!

Me in the high desert

Box-o-bees 2025-11-25 23:42

They could just be driving through Mexico according to the movies.

IQONOfficial 2025-11-25 23:56

Yep that’s pretty annoying

gltovar 2025-11-26 01:34

2 weeks ago I followed some youtube tutorials on how to clean the inside glass in front of the front cam. Cleaning off the VOC has fixed frequent callouts for occluded front camera

DarthBlue007 2025-11-26 16:56

Elon has mentioned building a Dyson sphere to reduce climate change....🤪

SleepingAndKissing 2025-11-26 17:27

ooh the conceptual science idea that is only theorized by scientists for the love of math and curiosity? im sure we will get around to it within the next millennium!

Dizzy-Tutor5344 2025-11-27 15:42

I often wonder when its too sunny or too rainy- times i may need assisted driving the most, if fsd can't work, how will it ever be truly self-driving? It will always need humans then? Like how do waymo's handle sun and rain blocking their cameras and sensors?

Funny_Attention_7334 2025-11-27 18:18

Tesla came out to my place and cleaned it for free

UnhingedBrawl3r 2025-11-27 19:52

When when when are people going to notice Tesla is completely f*cked...

Positive_Ad_7694 2025-12-01 17:36

Hey I been having the same problem but looks like there is moisture underneath my windows for my cameras, front facing cameras
