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.

    No Teslas in the wet or the cold. Pretty soon they’ll only function, most of the time, in a climate controlled area.

      Well, designed and built in SoCal, an area not known for its incliment weather, and Tesla is too cheap to do any sort of environmental testing. No real surprise they have so many issues the moment it rains or the temp drops below 50F

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

          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?

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

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

              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?

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

    I don’t know much about this world, but I do know it’s ironic that a car feature called Vision is fogging up.

      The driving assist features of my Honda CR-V also stop working whenever there’s snow or ice on the front of the car. Bad design for cold climates is not just a Tesla issue.

        You shouldn’t be out of park while there’s snow or ice on your vehicle. Clean off your fucking vehicles.
