Autopilot Camera Unavailable

[Chester K]

@donaldavis My Model 3 has the same issue started in last few months, it happens randomly but getting more often recently, Mobile service replaced 1 side camera but the same issue continues 2 days later, the same message comes every day and even starts after 1 hour of driving yesterday, I checked there is no video driving recording in the usb, only has the video recording from sentry mode, waiting for another appointment in 2 weeks.

What’s the status of yours?

worrying if this is a circuit board problem!

All cameras are now included in FSD. Including the inside camera.

The quickest way to figure out which camera it is is to call Tesla Support during their working hours. The next quickest way to determine which camera is the offender is to go into service mode (error log) before your next drive and see which camera has the issue.

Even the rear camera is part of FSD. Many people are starting to have problems with the rear camera...or better yet..the wiring harness of the rear camera. The camera wire inside the wiring harness that appears on the passenger's side of the trunk when you open it is often times the culprit. Tesla will replace that cable on a recall or install a rubber piece that keeps the harness from bending into a 180-degree angle when the trunk is closed. 

Another common culprit is the alignment of the interior camera. The alignment of this camera is not something I would recommend anyone doing on their own. Remember also that the interior camera wasn't a part of FSD until a recent update. So - software updates didn't break FSD...it might have uncovered a broken interior camera that was always broken.
Check out this guy's interior camera - that has probably always been like this.

Model 3 Cabin Camera View Question

Early Model 3 owners, please check your cabin camera from the Tesla app and see if the view matches ours in the 1st photo below. Recently we noticed that the cabin camera view was obstructed, as if the camera became dislodged. Tesla came and fixed it this morning. The mobile technician said...
