Tesla removed one of the 3 cameras in the front and replaced it with a blank. This is a known thing that I did not know about. Therefore HW4 cars only have 8 cameras now; not 9. Thanks to all who commented on this

The narrow camera isn't needed because the main cameras now has higher resolution which is enough to do analysis of far objects

[killabyt]

Tesla updated the white balance for the camera views for the rear view and side repeater cams which is awesome, you can also view the 9 cameras whout service mode by going to service tab and click camera preview.

2023 mylr hw3. Just drove 200 miles at 3am in Florida in a terrible storm. 4 lane rural road, US 301. During rain and fog held speed to 45. During rain held speed to 55. Much of the time visibility was so bad I would not have driven. When trailer trucks passed road was usually totally obscured to my vision. Only used autodrive the whole time. Never a hiccup. Not one. Flawless all the way. I am totally amazed. So there you are.
PS auto headlights, auto wipers.

I wish my Model Y had the ultrasensors. I don't trust the cameras for object distance from the car.

nice comparison, i appreciate the time, and effort you two put into this, on a wet night no less 👍

Yes the software update improved the on screen camera image, it's SIGNIFICANT. I could never use my side cameras on screen to switch lane, I would always use the mirrors to switch lane but with this improvement I can use the on screen images with confidence. I also completely agree, it was dumb to remove the USS sensors. Time will certainly tell. Great Video.

When HW4 was launched, it was said that it would only have two front facing cameras, and a dummy camera to fill the hole of the missing camera.

As usual, excellent content. The "purple haze" as you called it, the one saw in the HW3 previews is a classic example of "fringing", a result of (generally budget friendly cheap) lens' tendency to produce chromatic aberration.

I don't even own a Tesla but this was still very interesting. Thanks for taking the time.

Still have the 2020 Bolt EV, but the lower prices on Tesla makes them very tempting indeed.

The Mach E GT is interesting, but even with all the cash Ford's throwing at the dealers, there is still at least a $6, 000 difference between the Mach E GT and a Model Y Performance.

You could also see the camera preview without going into service mode by just clicking the little car icon on the bottom left corner and clicking service then scrolling down a little and clicking camera preview 😄

Would love to see or hear how well or not well Dave fits in the rear seat of the Model 3

[Yanquetino]

Naw. Even Tesla's FSD engineers told the boss NOT to toss the radar and go for "Tesla Vision." It was a cost-saving decision, not a "better" solution. IMHO. As you conclude: "time will tell."

[edwardhart]

Hardware 4 likely eliminates the needs for narrow field of view camera because it has a higher resolutions camera. Some of the view suggest the use of CMOS cameras with the visible filter removes, pushing sensitivity to longer wavelengths. This will yield far more information, including quite a bit of the SWIR spectrum, which among other benefits can aid views through haze and fog.

[Kimbrough]

Actually you don't have to type in service to access the camera so you can just scroll onto service and go to camera previews 😊

[purplelioness]

What devotion! Shooting in the rain 🌧. Kyle's there, now I k own Y!!!

[marquisdemoo]

In my part of the world where the roads are constantly covered in wet mush the cameras on our 2020 Model 3 are basically useless. A camera in the headlight would make sense if it has a water jet to clean it. The removal of the parking sensors is why we have not replaced the Model 3.

[mrchase]

Picking up a model y tomorrow, hoping for the best with free fsb for 3 months.
