Had the same question about the dot. My black M3 definitely is black on the screen. That does look peculiar. I actually like the rendering. Looks much more realistic and clear compared to the previous version. I do like how the roof reflect the movement of the sky and reflections of “stars” at night and clouds/shadows during the day.
We need to get rid of that little birdie.
Does that little birdie tweet? <--------Wait.....that could be taken 2 different ways in these modern times.

Beats me. I got the SW yesterday and that dot turns on for me when I go in reverse and disappears after i go in D.
Or. The poster was reversing. Then shifted to D. But has not moved forward. So the reverse light is still on?
The poster has a sw bug?
No.... holy crap guys.... it's just a cute little visualization of the sun.... that's it!!!
You see it when the car is parked/ in reverse mostly, because that's when you see a top down view of the virtual car. When you start driving you'll see the "sun" roll down the rear glass as the camera's perspective changes. If you look carefully, you can then see clouds rolling over the glass during the day, and stars at night while you are driving.
This isn't a bug... THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANYONE'S CAR.... it's just a fun thing Tesla has done. My god people.......

Nothing to do with the sun, as it’s not there all the time.
So, today we’re in our 3 and talking about this (‘the dot’) and we see it do it as we’re turning to park alongside a curb in a mall (next to an island). Just before my GF hits the Park button (not after) the car goes to overhead view for the ultrasonics and the dot shows up.
So, I’m wondering if it’s something to do with ‘object is close enough to worry about’ in the ultrasonics?
We got ultrasonics showing all the time but the dot appeared only when we were close to a curb. The other post was when in a garage with objects close aboard also...
What think?

It's the sun. It changes to rain drops in a storm and stars at night.
You are just seeing "when does the sun visualization click in" which is only during low speed and parking.
