    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    I got my mobile service for the rear trunk harness recall. For the heck of it, I threw a complaint about camera glare to the request to see if anything would happen. Expectedly, I got the whole 'intended design' spiel over text. Whatever. The day arrives and the technician informs me they would...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    I really do not care for the performance of the blinder-view-popup or the sideview camera view (partly because V11 is so badly designed that my hands block the view when it's relevant anyway), the problem is if it affects FSD, which I have paid several grand for and seen next to no return on...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    You articulated it absolutely brilliantly in your messages - really, you did it way better than I did. I went through the same hoops and escalated it via email. I essentially got told the same thing. I emphasise how utterly infuriating it is for them to lie through their teeth to you while...

    Another report of a recent warranty replacement for the side repeaters:

    Poll: Why do you support autonomous driving?

    I want to go into town and get wasted without forking out 50 bucks a pop for a taxi ride back.

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    Hey all, It looks like we might be seeing tesla replacing repeater cams free of charge. Someone on reddit posted this: More noteworthy is what they said about the experience: "Took my 2020 model 3 in for windshield replacement and the service rep told me they would also be replacing my...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    In my on-going saga with Tesla support I received this reply back after providing evidence (receipts and communication) of service appointments of other owners receiving warranty replacements (read: not goodwill replacements as they tried to argue) for this issue: "Good Afternoon [Scotty]...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    I think that would be the required step from us to get blog-o-sphere attention onto the issue. The official Tesla Owners UK group has picked this up and is now tweeting about it: I hate to suggest it, but Tesla only seems to respond to outcry once it hits regulators or the media. Doing a test...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    The goal post moves again from being able to identify what the NN sees to how the NN processes it. The NN isn’t a magical entity which expends zero computational effort to completely mitigate all forms of noise and visual artefacts

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    update: @rice_fry has affected repeater cams & the ability to pull raw imagery from the car. We'll wait and see if he decides to compare images with & without glare.

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    The blindspot indicator popup is completely irrelevant to this issue beyond making it more obvious the problem exists. We were all seeing this on our dashcam footage, and it existed before we were even able to inspect dashcam footage coming from the cameras. They can remove the pop-up if they...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    Totally agree that the RCCB raw feed from the cameras that the NN receives will be different from what we see on the dashcam or the blind-spot popup. Saved clips are definitely at a low bitrate and the raw input won't have post-processing applied to it. I've attached some images of my own...

    Update on AP Camera Update for Older S/X Vehicles

    You’ll have to ask @Lowchrg about the part numbers but you got given old defective designs of the repeaters. Did you pay for these or was it part of the replacement programme? Either way, I think they just played you

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I completely agree with you on all points there. I've been vocal here and where else I can. What I've found surprising and absolutely frustrating is that on the Tesla owners uk group the response to me outlining the issue is general apathy and - shockingly - defence of Tesla on the issue...

    Suspected repeater camera defect that affects FSD performance

    We'll see eventually how big of an issue this is I suppose. I'm just speaking from my experience with motion tracking that this issue raises major red flags to me. Maybe there's a regulatory loophole that allows them to reduce the blinker rate for additional data, maybe the issue gets superseded...
