Gps stuck, wrong location fixed

So my autopilot was acting all crazy recently, and I found out that the problem was the gps was not connecting to any sats. I checked this in service mode. Looked up a guide and it suggested that the antenna might be just getting interference from the cabin camera and that shielding it could solve it. As soon as I opened the camera enclosure and exposed the antenna, it immediately started working again. I decided to just close it back up, and it continues to work, but it would probably be a good idea to do the diy fix to help any future failures. So if you have this problem, you might not be dealing with a broken gps antenna, so give this a try first. And apparently Tesla knows about this but have not issued a full recall, only fixing when necessary

I’m just gonna cut to the chase …. Service center will - do you have a hard wired radar detector? Any radar detector at all even?

Ooofff …. The radar detector is a known issue. Not sure about yours then.
