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.

      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.

            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.

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

        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?
