I have a P85D with AutoPilot 1. On Friday, coming home from work, we had a decent snow storm here. After driving in the snow for about 15-20 minutes the "Driver Assist Features Unavailable - if problem persists, contact Tesla Service". No big deal I thought at the time, the front camera probably can't see very well through the snow storm, and also the front radar is probably caked with snow, as this has happened a couple times before in the past. When I got home, the entire front of the car was indeed caked with snow. However, over the weekend, all the snow melted off the car while in my garage, and the error message persists. I drove it probably about 10 miles Saturday with the car completely clear of any snow, in sunny conditions, and the message did not go away. I tried rebooting the IC and the MCU. Didn't go away. Later that day I called Tesla Service and they had be do a power down for 3 minutes and then power it back up. As soon as I shifted the car into Drive, the message re-appeared. I tried powering down again for probably about 10 minutes or so on Sunday. Same thing, once I shifted into drive, the message re-appeared. The car is out of warranty by about 3 weeks now, and the nearest Service Center is over an hour away, so I would like to at least make an attempt to try and avoid going there... I find it incredibly hard to believe that something actually went wrong at the same time as the car was getting covered with snow, and that it simply isn't correctly re-setting itself somehow, the fact that this initially happened during a snow storm is just too large of a coincidence.
Does anybody have any advice at all?
Thank you!
