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.

Every other car uses LIDAR and Elon thinks he’s such a forward thinker for shunning it. So dumb

Think of it this way: He is such a visionary that fog is blinding his vehicles.

Radar. Only a small handful of cars have LIDAR. But your point still stands. Outside of Elon being a humongous douche and completely unpredictable, the lack of sensors is the major reason for not wanting a Tesla.

Very few production vehicles have lidar. Like almost zero

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.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Of course, and I do. I'm talking about the snow or ice that accumulates around the front bumper and grille while driving down the highway. At some point the car will notify me that driver assistance features are no longer available due to the sensor being obstructed.

I mean the stuff builds up on the front of your car while driving. Moisture sticks to the front and then refreezes.

As yet another guy who is sick and tired of clumps of snow flying off of people's vehicles onto my windshield, thank you for your service.
