2020 X blind spot camera when turn signal is used

[hopeTsurvives]

Does 2020 Raven X have blind spot camera on main screen when turn signal is used?

 

[Lectric_Agent]

Nope, which is really BS since its for safety. Only thing you can do is press the parking button on the rear camera which will keep the side repeater cameras visible (although quite small)

I hope they add it in one of the software updates, I find it very useful in my M3 and would be great in my MX

Npr had a story about the teen girl that invented it, inspired by her mom's SUV.

I think this has to do with the older screen being portrait oriented versus landscape. There is not as much horizontal real estate.

Honestly, in my 2022 I don't look at screen a lot. I still prefer to check the outside mirrors which I have set so they show the lanes to the side and almost none of the side of the car.

Oops, the npr story was about the "a" pillar blind spot.

+1 When I'm merging I'm looking out side of my wind and scanning backwards. My first check is the mirrors. I have no idea why Tesla wanted to reinvent the wheel and remove blindspot tech. Oh, money. I forgot.

Hello I'm sure money is part of the discussion, I really don't think that's the prime driver. I think it's elon's lust for simplicity. He gets an idea in his head and just can't let go!

Okay fine, I realize that I have much the same problem. Like my desire for a model x. No real reason for it, but I can't seem to let go of it. I have to go drive my ass some just to calm myself sometimes!

@Lectric_Agent , how did the convex mirrors work out for you?

Great! 100% worth it. Great visibility and I no longer second guess lane changes

I took Lectric_Agent’s advice and purchased these mirrors.

I just installed them today. The improvement on the highway is DRAMATIC. No more blind spots!!! It’s an incredible difference. Scary good.

I haven’t tried them at night yet, and obviously haven’t tried them yet in the winter. The heated mirror function is supposed to still work. For those without window tint, the blue one supposedly dims the brightness of the headlights behind you. If your windows are tinted, you’re supposed to get the white one, which does not dim. At least that’s my understanding. I am simply a happy customer. I have no connection with this company. These are the mirrors our cars should have come with standard.

I have a 2019 Model X (Raven).

Thanks for the shout out! I agree these mirrors should be standard
