So I’m enjoying exploring my new Model Y!!!

However I noticed that driving at night on dark country roads, I invariably see a warning that my right pillar camera may be obstructed. This doesn’t happen in daytime, and granted the right pillar may not be able to see much in the dark. However I don’t see any obstructions and cleaning it doesn’t make a difference.

So is this normal or a problem I need to have Tesla look at?

I think it just assumes it’s blocked if can’t get any image for a certain amount of time. I had siniliar issueas on darker roads here in Switzerland. Comes and goes though and everything still works fine. Don’t think it can differentiate between darkness and obstruction.

Just got my Model Y with Hardware 4 this week, interested in seeing if that makes a difference as visibility in low light seems to be a ton better than on my HW3 Model 3. I‘ll let You know if anything changed :-)
