For a Tesla front camera cleaning (the precision cleaning of the forward-facing camera area), here’s what owners typically experience:

===== 🛠️ Time to Clean =====
* Service Center / Tesla Ranger: - If you schedule the official precision cleaning via the Tesla app or get it from a Tesla alert, the actual cleaning appointment usually takes about 15 minutes once the tech starts working on it. TeslaMagz<ref>{{cite web|title=TeslaMagz|url=https://teslamagz.com/news/tesla-offers-no-cost-camera-cleaning-after-new-warning-update/|publisher=teslamagz.com|access-date=2025-12-16}}</ref>
* DIY Owner Cleaning: - Many Tesla owners report that manually accessing and cleaning the camera housing themselves can take about 10–30 minutes the first time, depending on experience and tools.

===== 📅 What the Process Involves =====
* Professional Service: - Tesla’s cleaning appointment is quick because the tech will precision clean the inside windshield glass where the forward camera looks through, which is what triggers many camera visibility warnings.

* DIY Approach: - Removing the camera cover carefully - Cleaning the glass or lens with proper cleaning tools - Reassembling everything Many owners find it’s straightforward once you’ve watched a guide or video.

===== 🚗 Additional Notes =====
* Appointments: Owners often report being able to get same-week appointments, though availability depends on your local service center’s schedule.

* Loaner Cars: For a 15-minute camera clean alone, it’s unlikely you’d get a loaner just for that. Loaners are typically provided only for longer service visits. The whole visit usually takes less time than loaner paperwork would justify.
* Cost: If done under the new camera visibility alert/complimentary offer and your vehicle qualifies, Tesla may do it at no charge. Otherwise, if scheduled outside that, there can be a small fee (~$60-$85).
