I just picked up my Cybertruck 3 days ago and the Winter Storm Blair hit:confused: I parked outside and noticed the sentry mode cameras are all covered up by the now. Is my windshield camera heater broken or cybertruck does not have it?

It looks like the camera heater was running, but it's not powerful enough for heavy snow. I've had similar issues in snow with only partial clearing. You could run defrost remotely via the app.

When taking the picture, I had defrost mode for about 20 minutes. Since you live in Illinois, do you notice your windshield camera heater do work with sentry mode on?

I just got through the snowstorm in Kansas. Negative and single digit degrees. The front windshield camera does not have heaters at least mine doesn’t. Even on defrost the entire time the windshield is impossible to defrost in serious conditions but makes the cab so damn hot you got to open the back windows a little bit.

Wow, that was 20 minutes of max defrost!!

Illinois is my IP via Starlink, but yes, here in Michigan the camera heater tries to keep snow off. It sort of worked, but left a snow ridge at the bottom. It *may* have improved after a software update, we haven't had much snow here to test with.

I remember seeing this post and had to post my snow experience. Sentry mode on, beast parked for 6 hours, 28 degrees outside and camera is clear as seen in pic.

Yea, I think either the snow was too heavy for my beast or service request lol

Becuase I know my model 3 will melt the snow when sentry mode on
