Backup camera frame rate?

[WilliamG]

Just wondering... is it normal for the frame rate of the backup camera to be choppy?

Just took delivery of my new P3 and the backup camera is noticeably not smooth.

Thanks, all.

Don't have mine yet but....on test drive the camera frame rate wasn't noticeably low. For it to appear "choppy" it would probably need to be around 12FPS or lower. Did you try reseting the display since it might correct (can't hurt)?

It’s like it’s not consistent. So it’s 30fps and then skips frames constantly. I did do a reset.

Anyone else with HW3 have this issue?

It does seem to be a HW3 issue anecdotally. I think it's trying to connect to Skynet and calculate a time-jump...

Do you have the same issue?

Do you have the same issue?

No - but i do have the black screen issue occasionally. But I'm on HW2.5

Yeah the black screen issue gets talked about a lot. Not had that yet...

Guess I’ll have to wait for more HW3 owners to chime in!

Be happy to.....if you will just contact Tesla and get them to expedite and FedEx my Model 3.

As of 2 seconds ago I still don't have a VIN. Of course I'm not checking very often.

HW3, same issue when on 7.105. Just updated to 12.1.2 tonight, I’ll check again in the morning and report back.

I got 12.1.2 earlier today. No change, sadly. If anything it’s worse now. It makes the reverse camera really nerve-wracking to use because it’s so jittery.

Thanks you for chiming in. Makes me more confident Tesla can fix it if more of us have the same issue.

The LED lights of the following cars look like strobing like police car sometimes and makes me take a second look

That is unrelated to the OP's problem. Many LEDs (especially car lights) use PWM to control their brightens and power drain.

I thought the frame rate had something to do with the strobing effect of the LED

This is unrelated. Even backing out of my garage is a jerk-fest. It’s really quite bad.

Yep, issue still occurring on mine as well after 12.1.2. Now, it doesn't seem to be horrible to me, but it definitely does not seem like 30fps. Coming from a S550 Mustang, I won't complain about the backup camera

I think it is 30fps, but with big stutters etc, and that inconsistency is the big issue. If it were a constant 25fps for example, it would be no big deal. It’s just so inconsistent. When parking in tight spaces it’s actually an issue.

Anyone else want to chime in on this? I have a loaner Model S right now with a super smooth backup camera.

Any more new Model 3 owners with this issue?
