TAKING MY TESLA TO THE MOUNTAINS IN MAMMOTH LAKES

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip to Mammoth Lakes in a Tesla, highlighting both the scenic journey and an unexpected technical issue. The reviewer details a significant problem with the Autopilot cameras becoming unavailable, rendering Autopilot, cruise control, and blind spot monitoring inoperable. This issue, potentially caused by severe road vibrations from an unpaved, bumpy road, caused considerable frustration and impacted the driving experience. The reviewer attempted various troubleshooting steps, including camera cleaning and resets, but ultimately found a solution by recalibrating the cameras, suggesting a physical misalignment due to the rough terrain. The video also touches upon the challenges of charging infrastructure and the emotional journey of dealing with a pet's cancer diagnosis, which motivates these trips. Despite the technical hiccup, the reviewer expresses satisfaction with the Tesla's ability to navigate challenging roads and the eventual resolution of the camera issue.
