"UK roads are different to USA"
Agree. Having driven in West Coast USA the road layouts and conventions have many fundamental differences. I believe these are the root of some of the anomalies we see in the UK.
they do have something like this for the side cameras when condensation is covering them but don't know if it applies to the forward facing screen camera.
I have by chance experienced and documented a lengthy period over a day of driving where condensation appearing and disappearing repeatedly caused completely perplexing, random and dangerous behaviour. The fact that condensation on b-pillars and to a lesser extent the a cam forward facing camera windows is a fairly common issue for some owners calls into question how any critical systems can depend heavily / entirely on camera function.
when the car transitioned to vision only.
Tesla agents seem to regard the move to vision only to be linked primarily to complaints about ultra sonic sensors etc. They pretty much ignore / deny the whole wipers / lights / radar topics.
false alerts are common now where as they use to be rare.
I think there are two different systems triggering alerts. The grey / red warning is the more recent for me, and the one that has become progressively more common. Even though the message says that the car is taking corrective action, I have yet to actually detect any intervention.
I’m convinced there is nothing “wrong” with my car.
I too doubt there is a specific and unique fault with your car. Imo the cars have certain sensitivities and probably design flaws that make them prone to certain effects (like camera window condensation) which do occur differently between cars, use patterns and environments.
it moved to vision only the automatics deteriorated significantly.
My MS is still on 20.8, believed to be latest radar version. Tesla have indicated they won't honour wty on my car while it's on this version, despite me having been trying to get condensation issues sorted since the car was new.
Even on this old version, my feeling is that certain traits such as the onset of invalid emergency corrections were already evident.
Other incorrect behaviours for UK road layouts is the 'change lane to continue on your route' which imo is a purposeless translation of the US 'Through Traffic Merge Left' convention.
