My Full Self-Driving (FSD) software stopped working after getting my Tesla Model 3 windshield replaced by Safelite in April. The camera calibration will never make it past 99%. My Autopilot works fine, but FSD does not. I’ve cleared the camera calibration multiple times and have driven thousands of miles. Safelite looked at it twice, and Tesla Service looked at it once. It’s been almost 3 months without FSD.
Apr 12: $1,100 Safelite windshield cost https://x.com/slye/status/1778795869292371979
Safelite successfully performed calibration for Autopilot but was stuck at 98% for FSD
Took it back to Satellite. They confirmed everything passed their calibration test; suggested I take it to Tesla. Tesla Service quoted me $130 for the service appointment. Satellite reimbursed me for this.
Tesla had it for about an hour or so then said it was ready for pickup. The invoice said “Diagnosed and Performed Forward Facing Camera Target Calibration. Pitch verification”. They also disconnected/reconnected 12v battery and did a test drive. After picking my car up from Tesla nothing had been fixed. Same issue: Autopilot was good. FSD stuck at 99% calibration. I never had an issue with FSD or Autopilot or any camera calibration before getting windshield replaced.
My options?
Take it to a different Tesla location and see if they will cover it under goodwill/FSD warranty. Or I can pay Tesla whatever they charge to fix the unknown issue. Or I can keep driving it and trying to clear calibration and re-calibrate hoping it eventually works. Or I can buy new Long Range Model 3 for $40,000 after tax credit and transfer my FSD (Tesla’s FSD free transfer promo applies to new deliveries of the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y by August 31, 2024)
Problems:
My 2018 Model 3 current estimated value is only $12,000! If I do replace my Model 3, yes I’ll be getting a new one but I’ll be paying $40k just for a newer version of the same car I have now. I also have had great luck with my battery so far with very little degradation. I’m risking getting a new Model 3 that may have worse degradation. I’m also giving up a car with full front PPF and tint which will cost me even more money if I do it to the new car.
Service Mode Calibration Camera DAS Fix:
Remove sentry mode USB stick. Enter Tesla Service Mode (use "service" as access code). Clear each set of cameras from the dropdown menu then reset DAS and exit Service Mode. Reboot the infotainment screen by holding the 2 scroll wheels. Then drive to your nearest multi-line highway. Cameras should calibrate.
