I am a new 2017 model S owner. The previous owner told me that the cameras were upgraded in March 2022 by Tesla to support FSD. However, the front view image is not as hi-definition as the side and rear cameras. So I am wondering if the front cameras were upgraded. The car has FSD v12.3.5 and it is working. Do you know if your front cameras are upgraded? Is your front image the same definition as the sides and rear?The only reason to get this upgrade is to get to a hardware configuration that supports FSD. But you don’t want to upgrade your software so you’re clearly not getting/using FSD.
Why bother?
Theres no mandate for a software update to support the new cameras. It’s just a config change in the gateway. Mobile service did my camera upgrade and I don’t remember a software update. But any time you’ve got them fiddling around in there it’s a risk. If it’s that important to you to not update the software, then I’d not risk it for a hardware upgrade that gets you literally nothing.
