I finally traded my 2 year old Bolt and got a Model 3 LR today. So excited, but have a couple questions right off the bat. One is an error message I got on my first drive home from delivery and the other is about charging. I searched these topics but the answers didn't seem to apply or were not definitive.
First, a few times I noticed an error message that the left door pillar camera is blocked. Then the right pillar camera. Then "multiple cameras are blocked or blinded". I searched this and found info on condensation and such but (if I'm looking at the correct camera - top side of the door pillar), the glass is clean and I see no condensation. I was driving at night. Anything I should check? Autopilot worked the 3x I tried it and the error doesn't seem to appear while using autopilot. In fact, the times I noticed it most was when using the left/right turn signals to make a turn.
The second question is not a problem; just an inquiry. I have a Mustart 32A charger that I had been using for my Bolt. When I got home, I plugged in the adapter and used that to start charging: charging started right away without any issues. Is it OK to use this charger on a regular basis? The outlet in my garage is a 14-50. I had read somewhere that you are supposed to plug the adapter into the car first and then the charger into the adapter. Is it OK to just leave the adapter dangling on the charging cord and plug it in?
Tomorrow I'll take the time to learn what I can. Getting late and I just got home and am a little overwhelmed.
Thanks,
Mike
