RESOLVED Is the Lidar blocked message related to ceramic coating?? [answer: no]

[Halodde]

I never got the message in any kind of precipitation (except heavy snow) before today. But when I picked up my car from getting ceramic done, in the lightest rain, I'm getting the message now. Trying to figure out if these are related.

 

[Bunnylebowski]

I have no ceramic and get that error.

IIRC didn't one of the latest software updates talk about changes to blocked sensor notifications? FWIW I do have ceramic coating, but I rarely, if ever, get that message in light rain, but I do get it in heavy rain.

 

[noobzilla]

No coating here but got it once

 

[Bobby]

No coating, no message ever over 10k miles.

I have no ceramic and get that error.

Same here since I added the coating the error message has not reappeared its ugly face.

A recent software update addressed the "sensor blocked" error.

I'm on latest version and got the error this evening when it was raining

 

[Volund]

I have ceramic and never gotten the error. And I drove from DC to Utah in intense winter storms and rain, and no error there either. So I'm unaffected both ways.

After I reached Utah I got ceramic and ppf, no issues still

I am on the latest version also, and still getting the LIDAR blocked message when it rains.

Do you have ceramic?

Do you have ceramic?

 

[Babyrocko1908]

I first got the message a few days after taking delivery. I don't think it's ceramic coating.

 

[SCROD]

Do you have ceramic?

No

 

[kerplunk]

I have no ceramic coating. Just got the car 2 days ago and I had that message pop up during the rain yesterday. It was intermittent though even with no change in how hard the rain was falling

I think at this point, the definitive answer to this question is no. There does not seem to be any correlation between ceramic and the LiDAR warning.

 

[Halodde]

I agree. If the mods think this poll is confusing, feel free to remove it.

To be clear, I think it was a perfectly legit hypothesis, and I’m glad you asked. But it does seem to have been definitely disproven at this point.

I hope Lucid gets to the bottom of these warnings soon. I’m going to close the thread in the meantime.
