Tesla patented a self-cleaning camera lens system that detects dirt, sprays cleaning fluid, and uses a small wiper to clear the lens so the camera can keep seeing properly.

This document is a U.S. patent for a “Lens Cleaning System” assigned to Tesla, Inc. It was issued on May 26, 2026, as U.S. Patent No. 12,636,684 B1. It describes a system for automatically cleaning a camera lens, for vehicles, robots, or other machines that rely on cameras.

The problem it solves is straightforward: cameras can get dirty from rain, mud, dust, oil, snow, bugs, or other debris. If the lens is dirty, the camera may not “see” clearly, which can hurt the performance of driver-assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, robotics, surveillance systems, or any machine that depends on visual data.

The invention combines software detection, liquid spraying, and a mechanical wiper. First, the system determines whether debris is on the lens. Then it can spray liquid onto the lens. After that, a wiper blade moves across the lens to remove the debris.

The diagrams show a compact assembly around a camera lens. It includes a camera/lens, a reservoir or liquid source, a nozzle or tube to spray cleaning fluid, a wiper blade, and a motor/controller that moves the wiper. The system is designed so the wiper can move across the lens and then return to a resting position.

A key point is that the system is not just a dumb washer. It can use information from the camera or other sensors to decide whether the lens is obstructed and whether cleaning is needed. For example, if the image quality drops or the system detects debris, it can trigger the cleaning process.

The patent also describes different cleaning materials. The liquid could be water, alcohol-based fluid, oil-based fluid, surfactant, or other cleaning solution, depending on the use case and environment.

The practical value is that Tesla wants cameras to remain reliable in messy real-world conditions. For autonomous driving or robotics, dirty cameras are a serious problem because vision systems depend on clean, usable images. This patent is basically about giving the camera a built-in way to clean itself instead of relying on a human to wipe it off.

FYI: If you want to check out the Signature Edition Model S and Model X in person, @Tesla has put both vehicles on display at the public Fremont factory showroom.

Only 100 Model X and 250 Model S Signature Editions were built, so this is a good opportunity to see the rare cars.

I really think the upcoming next-gen Tesla Roadster is going to flip the entire supercar/hypercar scene upside down.

Tesla has never put all its resources into an all-out performance vehicle in the modern era with the sole mission to be ridiculously capable. This car will set the precedent for what we see later in the future from Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.

I think the Roadster is going to keep those guys up all night. Just a few things we know:

• Co-developed with SpaceX 🚀
• 0-60 mph in under 1 second
• Engineering to be the ultimate drivers car.

Remember, Tesla always makes the impossible, possible. This is gonna be epic.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Insane will be an understatement when it comes to the SpaceX IPO.

I can’t imagine how wild it’s going to be having a company like this out on the open market. In just a couple of days:

• They had a successful Starship V3 launch
• American Airlines adopts Starlink
• $2.29 U.S. Space Force Starshield Contract

It’s going to be one hell of a ride, guaranteed.

Tesla has introduced a new “Renewable Energy Bundle” in the UK, combining Tesla Solar and Powerwall 3 for £199/month, including installation at 0% interest.

Tesla is also bundling the package with a Tesla Model 3 for just £494/month combined.

The new offer is aimed at Tesla owners and includes an eight-panel solar installation plus a Powerwall 3 battery, all fitted and installed with fixed costs and 0% finance over four years. Customers will need to put down a £1,747 deposit, but Tesla says the package is designed to make renewable energy more affordable for households already driving electric cars.

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2.

This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

I found something cool. Tesla has filed a new trademark application for its next-generation Roadster. It could be the new Roadster logo/badge.

The filing says the lines depict speed, propulsion, heat or wind.

(I took the liberty of making the logo red. Trademark filings are just black & white)

[Tesla @Tesla]

Q1 2026 Shareholder Update

https://t.co/dOjSLhd10p

We continued to make meaningful progress on the build out of the infrastructure & AI software that underpins our Robotaxi & future robotics businesses in Q1.

That meant commencing the ramp of new factories across AI compute, battery & battery materials, as well as preparing lines for start of production of Megapack 3, Cybercab & Tesla Semi.

Demand for our vehicles continued to grow in APAC & South America markets, with a rebound of demand in EMEA markets & North America.

As trade and geopolitics become more uncertain, we're further regionalizing and vertically integrating critical supply chains to ensure access to key materials & componentry in each region across vehicle, energy & AI.

Automotive
– Optimizing our vehicle product portfolio with an emphasis on vehicles designed for a fully autonomous future

– More affordable trims of Model 3/Y & rollout of Model Y L in markets outside of China

– Began deliveries of Cybertruck in the UAE

– Volume production of Cybercab & Tesla Semi this year

Energy Generation & Storage
– Good progress with new Megafactory outside Houston (will produce Megapack 3 for Megablock). Start of production on track for later this year

– We began meaningful customer deployments of Tesla’s first in-house designed solar panel produced at Giga New York

Robotics
– Preparations for our first large-scale Optimus factory will begin shortly in Q2.

First-gen line designed for 1M robots/year will replace Model S/X lines in Fremont Factory, second-gen line is being prepared at Giga Texas (long-term annual capacity of 10M robots/year)

AI Training Compute
– Cortex 2 is now online & has started running training workloads

– Also ramping on-site training infrastructure to ensure sufficient compute resources for AI products & services

– Continuing with custom silicon development (Dojo 3) to reduce training cost over time

Battery
– Ramping new battery & material factories, including LFP cells in Nevada, cathode material & lithium refining in Texas

– Battery vendor cell availability continues to be a limiting factor on ramping vehicle production, so we're working on initiatives to de-bottleneck, including using 4680 cells at Giga Berlin

Other Supporting Infrastructure
– Giga New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets (3x power density & 2x the number of stalls vs V3)

– Alongside the ramp of Tesla Semi, we're deploying public Megachargers, including our first one in SoCal

– Over 2,200 new Supercharger stalls, growing the network 19% YoY

AI Software
– FSD 14.3 launched in April

– Upgraded Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage to better handle long-tail edge cases, enhanced the neural network vision encoder for sharper perception in low-vis scenarios & rewrote the AI compiler to accelerate model iterations & cut inference latency by 20% (faster reaction time for FSD!)

This accelerates our efforts to eventually deploy unsupervised autonomy to both the Robotaxi fleet & customer owned vehicles

– Digital Optimus: our next evolution of AI development. We're working on automating digital workloads, building an intelligence layer that will complement real-world AI in vehicles & robots

AI Inference Compute
– Expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor fabrication (coinciding with Robotaxi & Optimus ramps) = step towards ensuring sufficient & resilient chip supply

– Partnership with SpaceX aims to build the largest chip fab ever, vertically integrating logic, memory & advanced packaging to allow for rapid iteration

– Completed final chip design of AI5 (our next-gen inference processor) in April

Automotive & Other Software
– Rolled out Spring Update which includes a new Self-Driving app with tutorials & stats, "Hey Grok" wake word w/ location-based reminders, accent lights for blind spot alerts, updated Pet Mode & more

Robotaxi
– Paid Robotaxi miles doubled sequentially in Q1

– Cybercab will begin replacing Model Y fleet once in production & be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time

– Continuing to lay the groundwork for expanding into new cities (testing, permitting), so we can launch quickly once ready. Safety remains top priority

– Expanded unsupervised ops in Austin & launched in Dallas & Houston in April

FSD Supervised
– Record net new FSD subscriptions in Q1

– Received approval to deploy FSD Supervised in the Netherlands in April, clearing the path for potential approval in other EU countries

– Continuing to make progress on approval in China

Automotive Services
– Safety Score v3.0 enables every mile driven with FSD Supervised engaged to receive a score of 100. Higher Safety Score over time = lower premiums for Tesla Insurance customers

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Elon Musk on Tesla's earnings call: "We have just started production of Cybercab. Whenever you have a new product with completely new everything, you should expect initial production will be slow, then going exponential towards the end of this year."
