With 2022.20.9 Tesla will switch to the vision system. It is not stated explicitly but it seems that the update will disable the radar.
I have not installed it but reading through the forums I see some serious drawbacks:
- Poor performance in bad weather (fog, heavy snow, snow covered road)
- Mandatory use of automatic high beams (we know how well those work)
- Mandatory use of auto wipers. BTW, if auto wipers, which rely on camera instead of a sensor - like any other manufacturer - are any indicator then the Vision system would be another fiasco
- Increased minimum following distance. How is that a product of a “better” system?
- Decreased max autosteer limit. How is that a product of a “better” system?
I would love to hear from anyone with a “legacy” car who installed it. I am getting more and more convinced that OTA updates is a really bad idea.
