I have had some problems with my front camera seeing clearly and consistently. I get frequent "front camera blocked" error messages even though the windshield in front of it is clean and not in direct sunlight. Last night, while driving on the freeway, I noticed that sometimes the camera would "see" the cars around me and show them on the animation on my screen, but many times the cars around me in the animation on my screen would suddenly disappear even though the cars around me were physically still there.
I took a closer look at the camera and it looks like there is either condensation or a cloudy film on the inside case covering the camera. I made an appointment for Tesla mobile service to come to my home this week and clean the inside of the case.
BTW, when I view the camera in my "Live camera view" in the Tesla app, part of the frame is out of focus and not as clear as the other camera views. So I am hoping that cleaning the inside of the cover will fix the problem.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Was cleaning the inside of the cover sufficient or do you think I will need to replace the camera?
Thank you,
Joe
