I have this problem on my left side fender camera after the latest update. It won’t happen in the morning or evening time. It’s probably due to the heat issues. It just happen on the left fender camera. All other cameras are working properly. I was thinking for a service request. Sometimes is more worse. 2023 model y hw 3.0

I was thinking about the night time flaring that was prevalent with the older side cameras. Didn't realize the issue with the purple cast on the side cameras.

With the latest update all of my cameras are remarkably clear now. I wonder if there are any hardware issues afoot, or if it's just a bug currently. Tesla has now proven that these side repeater cameras can look clear with correct color accuracy, and it doesn't require a hardware change.

I’m having the same issue after the latest update but with my right repeater
2023.32.4
The 2023.32 updates include an improvement to camera rendering which improves quality, I’m assuming this is a bug in the update. I plan to wait for an update. I’m pretty sure the SC can’t do anything about this
I’ve noticed the same, it seems to be more purple in full Sun and the more the direct the sun is to the camera the more purple.
Looks a bit like a picture from a full-spectrum digital camera without a hot mirror filter to cut the IR. Maybe the HW4 cameras added a hot mirror that is reflecting some red as well, hence the red cast when viewed externally.

Right. I'm suggesting the IR filter/hot mirror appeared on HW4, and might be the cause of the red tint on the lenses of HW4 cameras. Without an IR filter on HW3, I'd expect a magenta cast (from experimenting with DSLR's with the hot mirror removed).
I noticed my 2020 (with HW 3) camera images were improved with an recent update. My cameras used to lack blue (Veery red/yellow). Now with update they look well balanced with colors (more blue). My guess is the update was meant to enhance older camerays such as mine, and newer cameras were negatively impacted. Perhaps they need to differentiate update/filter based on which cameras you have.
This is what I experienced as well. I just figured the improvements to color correct the repeaters has a bug that is causing this
