R1S gen 2 owner here. For the past week, I've been seeing an error message that the front sensors are blocked. We recently had the car wrapped in PPF and with a ceramic coating, so I expect that may be the culprit although the sensors look clear. Anyone seen this?

Yes, this along with a miriad of other random messages. SC is doing a deep dive of the logs on Monday.

I've seen this on my gen1 after being parked entirely too close to something.

Thanks. It's happening to me while driving with no cars in front of me. My PPF guy says the cameras aren't covered by PPF nor are the areas with the sensors.

I've only seen that message when the front of the truck was covered in snow.

I had exactly the same issue for over a month. Finally made and appointment with the service and went in this morning. The issue for me is the sensor was damaged. Very hard to see but the SC could test it, identified it, and replaced it for Free.

Every is now working as it should

Thanks. Interesting. Tried the vehicle reset today and issue was still there, so booked a service center appointment 3 weeks out.

@snert - I'm in the exact same situation as you. I got a 2025 R1S Gen 2 that I picked up in the end of Aug and recently got PPF.

During my drive home from accepting delivery, I noticed some periodic, random flickering on the left side of the dash but didn't think much of it. I picked up my car yesterday from getting PPF and the flickering was occurring more consistently and often. Snapped a video and got the same pic that you posted. I've also gotten the same warning but with different sensor's highlighted, like the row of sensors along the front. I tried wiping down the areas where the sensors are located and performed a hard reset with no luck. It was also raining on/off yesterday so I'm not 100% what is causing this issue.

I've put in a service order to have them take a look.... ?

BTW, I also got an airbag warning pop up at 305 miles in. :facepalm:

The issue went away after a few hard restarts and a new software update.

This little rock chip caused the sensor to fail. They charged over 400 bux to change it out. Would've thought these were better designed to handle road debris. I see someone here got there's replaced for free with far worse damage. Kind of sux
