Driver-assistance camera needs calibration after windshield

JDMWrench75Community StarterNov 26, 20252022 Tesla Model 3 Long RangeHouston
New windshield is in and shop says the camera needs calibration. Car drives fine and no warning is showing. Would you still do the calibration immediately, and does static vs dynamic calibration matter? Any data points from owners would help.

I parked the 2022 Tesla Model 3 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Any freeze-frame data saved? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Quick add on that: On the 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Houston, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “assistance camera needs calibration after windshield,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Do that first. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Following up on assistance camera needs calibration after windshield: still happening, but I have better notes now. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2022 Tesla Model 3 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Houston. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 first. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Tesla Model 3, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Houston, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “assistance camera needs calibration after windshield,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
