What this alert means:

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because one or more of the front cameras in your vehicle is blocked or blinded by external conditions.

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable while a front camera lacks adequate visibility. Cameras may have limited or no visibility due to:

  • Dirt or debris on the camera surface.
  • Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew.
  • Bright sunlight or glare from another light source.
  • Low or limited light conditions, including unlit or poorly lit roadways at night.
  • Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface.
  • Monotonous environmental features, including tunnel walls or highway dividers.

What to do:

Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.

This is often a temporary issue that clears up on its own. If the alert does not clear by the end of your drive:

  • Inspect and clean the front camera area at the top center of the windshield before your next planned drive.
  • Check the camera surface for condensation, dirt, or other debris and attempt to clear any obstruction.

See Cleaning a Camera for more information on clearing dirt or debris from that area of the vehicle.

Although condensation on the inside of the front camera enclosure cannot be wiped clean, you can usually clear it quicker by following these steps:

  1. Pre-condition the cabin with the temperature set to High and A/C turned ON.
  2. Turn on the front windshield defroster.

If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no front camera obstruction is visible, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

What this alert means:

Your vehicle has detected a condition internal to the high voltage battery that is limiting the battery's ability to charge 50% of State of Charge.

What to do:

  • Your vehicle is OK to drive. Your vehicle is able to charge when the state of charge is below 50%. Charging will not start if the State of Charge is already above 50%.
  • If this alert persists, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Without service, you may notice further reductions in your vehicle's maximum charge level and range.
  • For more information on the high voltage battery, see

What this alert means:

A communication error occurred between the Wall Connector and the vehicle.

What to do:

Try charging again by disconnecting the Wall Connector from the vehicle and reconnecting.

  1. If the issue persists, turn OFF the circuit breaker servicing the Wall Connector, wait 10 seconds, turn the circuit breaker ON again, then try reconnecting the Wall Connector to the vehicle.
  2. If the issue persists and other charging equipment is available, plug the vehicle into another Wall Connector or a Mobile Connector to determine if the vehicle is able to communicate with other charging equipment.
  3. If the issue persists, service is required.

For more information, see the installation guide for your Wall Connector.

I took my car for a wash and simply used a pressure washer to rinse off dirt. After that, I parked my car at 5 PM on Saturday. Then, at 2:40 AM on Sunday, my car’s alarm suddenly went off, and I received a notification that the alarm had been triggered. I rushed to the parking area, but there was no apparent reason for the alarm.

I went back to my apartment, and the alarm triggered again. This time, I noticed the driver’s side door was open, even though I was certain I had closed it earlier. I closed the door again, returned to my apartment, and just 7 minutes later, the alarm went off again. The app once again showed the driver’s door as open.

At this point, I asked my wife to come with me to verify that I was closing the door properly. I also rebooted the car from the screen (without holding the scroll wheels for 15 seconds). About 50 minutes later, the door appeared to open by itself again, triggering the alarm. I went back to the car, sat inside for a while, defrosted it, rebooted it again, and downloaded a software update. After starting the installation process, I left the car and returned to my apartment.

Thankfully, this seems to have fixed the issue.

While troubleshooting, I noticed that when I tried to close the door, it wouldn’t close properly, and the windows were slightly rolled down (though not completely). After rolling up the window and trying again, the door finally shut correctly. I also checked the locking mechanism to make sure nothing was stuck in it, but everything looked clean and fine.

For context, I own a Model 3 RWD Standard Range Highland, purchased at the end of November 2024. I live in Germany and the temperature was around -9 degree centigrade. It was snowing too.
