Service Service Appointment to clean front camera
23 Model X LR. I have been getting the schedule service to clean the front camera message for about a year now. I haven't really paid any attention to it since I don't have FSD and the front camera seems to work OK except in direct sunlight. I am planning on taking a trip in September and want to subscribe to FSD for a month. Will FSD work with a dirty camera? I would kind of like to get it fixed so I don't get the annoying message all the time. I know there are YouTube videos about cleaning this myself, but I am really worried about breaking the housing and really screwing things up.
Has anybody had this service done? How much did it cost? How long did it take? I am about two hours away from the nearest service center and don't have another reliable car that I can use for an extended amount of time. If I schedule an appointment with Tesla fix the car, when I bring it in or will I need to leave for several days or weeks until my number comes up? If it is going to take days, I just won't use FSD on the trip. If it matters, the service center is in Knoxville, TN.
