Description

For correct traffic light recognition you need HW 3.0+ and European maps. After body repair or glass replacement, camera calibration is required. Without calibration Autopilot won't work correctly.

Solution

  1. For traffic lights — HW 3.0 minimum + European maps.
  2. Camera calibration after repair — via Tesla Service Mode.
  3. Software alone won't cut it — you need access to Tesla Toolbox and an understanding of the process.
  4. If a shop doesn't run calibration after suspension/body repair — better not to accept the car.
