Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather::A number of Tesla owners have taken to Reddit after their front cameras fogged up and stopped working in cold weather, leaving several features, including the US$10,000 FSD Beta, inoperable. Tesla has declined to assist to these customers, despite many of their vehicles being covered under warranty.

The car works just fine. You shouldn’t be using autopilot in bad weather anyway.

Who said anything about bad weather? Jeez, you can always count on muskrats to make the dumbest arguments based on ridiculous assumptions when Daddy Elon needs to be defended.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nah Musk is a total asshole, that’s obvious. I’m just pointing out ALL cars can still be driven when the cameras are foggy. Too many people in this thread seem to pretend that the entire car refuses to drive because it got a little chilly.

There are a million legitimate reasons to criticize Elon, (like the fact he’s a raging transphobe), but this one is kinda meh.

Cold = bad weather? How elitist.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, relying on FSD and whining when it goes out is elitist.

Obviously cold counts as bad weather to the machine if it messes up your camera system, so just drive it like a normal human.

When you spend $10k on FSD do you get a map of all the places you're not allowed to live or visit?

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t know. I’m not stupid enough to spend money on an unproven product.

[-] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 1 year ago

So 3-6 months of the year is just bad weather?

That's a good year in the UK

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

You know you can build camera to not fog, no matter the weather? All it takes is the will to build quality products.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, the engineering is shit for sure. Just noting that FSD is an optional, experimental, expensive feature and rich people who whine about it are being babies.

Since you seem to know a lot about Tesla: when people pay those $12,000 for the "Full Self-Driving package," does Tesla tell them they can't use it when it gets cold outside?

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t know a lot about Tesla, but we all know their marketing is lies.
