Blurry back up camera

[rjElec]

I just noticed that the back up camera is a bit blurry, the objects are not looking as sharp as they used to.

I haven’t been driving much since a couple of weeks so I am not sure if this is related to a recent update. I have cleaned the lenses and also rebooted the screen.

Did anyone else experience this? I have scheduled a mobile service through the app.

It's digital, so the only answer is it must be an optical problem. Dirty lens?

It's above the license plate, try wiping it with a wet-wipe it probably has road grime.

Hi,
I had already cleaned the camera lenses. It seems like the camera is slightly out of focus and not dirty.

Something must have come loose inside. It can only be optical.

I am still under 2yrs/50k warranty since I bought it used from Tesla but any idea why I am getting an invoice for $570? Is the backup camera not covered under warranty?

Could be the heat. In my previous dash cam, the heat made the camera housing ever slightly expanded. It was enough to cause the camera to go out of focus.

It is parked in my garage. I am still not sure why the Service estimate is $570. I hope it is covered under warranty.

You've got to make them aware and insist it be warranty work. Don't approve the invoice until it is correct.
