Fogging camera

[sr22gts]

Still quite new to the forum. Noticed today with an outside temp of 29 degrees Fahrenheit, I had a message that said left pillar camera obstructed. There was condensation inside the faceplate so unable to clean. Anyone with a similar experience?

Likely a defective camera...There should not be moisture inside the camera lens. I would reach out to service on that one...

Common, with no real confirmed resolution as of right now. For a few of us, Tesla has replaced the b-pillar appliques, but this does not solve the problem. See this thread I started a few months back: B-pillar cameras fogging up?

The condensation is on the glass plate in front of the camera and not on the camera lens itself.

I experienced the same. It is condensation that builds up in certain weather/temperature conditions. The camera (in my 2017 model) has a small heating element ( not very powerfull) built in which should help clear the fog. Warming up the car to higher temperature might also help. Other then that, little can be done according to my local Tesla SC.
