All this anguish over something you likely will never use. Is it REALLY this important?

Buyers Remorse because of cameras

It's probably a long way off from knowing but if HW4 works better Tesla might offer an out-of-pocket accessory upgrade for the unwashed and unworthy.

There’s no promises that my hardware really is hardware 4. I’m only seeing 720 off my dash cam

They might pixel bin the 5MP cameras to get higher sensitivity and reduced data bandwidth at the expense of resolution. And if not, it would still be reasonable to downscale to 720 for USB storage. Besides, the USB drive can barely keep up with four 720p streams so there's no way it'd handle four 5MP streams.

FWIW, @Zane Liu's 2023 side camera:
vs. my 2021 side camera:
Seems clear the weather is better in my neighborhood.

Could also be the location of the sun.. obviously out of these two photos the bottom 2021 picture looks better, but unless it’s from the same place at the same time, hard to extrapolate much from this.
Top pic looks like NorCal, bottom SoCal. Am I right? I’d guess Sonoma county for top and East-ish county San Diego for the bottom. Close? Had to ask

Haha I won’t respond on the exact location but yes NorCal but not quite Sonoma. More Bay Area.Could also be the location of the sun.. obviously out of these two photos the bottom 2021 picture looks better, but unless it’s from the same place at the same time, hard to extrapolate much from this.

Your conjecture could conceivably be correct. We know the new Samsung cameras are 5MP, but does anyone actually know the resolution of the old cameras? Maybe they're also 5MP but we've been incorrectly assuming 720p since that's what we find on the USB drive?
Also, it's pretty difficult to find a cheap high-volume 720p image sensor anymore. Perhaps this new 5MP camera isn't even an upgrade, it's just what's available today so they slap it in and pixel bin it to 720p for a within spec equivalent. And the lens change might just be the result of a different sensor chip size, not any improvement in FOV or F-stop.
So as much as we'd all like to see the camera quality go from this:
to this:
It might not be happening anytime soon.

They upgraded the Model Y literally the week I bought mine. New console and a few other upgrades. A couple months later they added the new laminated glass.
You get over it.
I'm kind of curious though. Did you pay the same as your neighbor, or did you get better pricing since you ordered earlier?

Yes, that is exactly how my neighbor's new side cameras look. It's full color and the quality looks exactly like the rear view camera.
I received a 2023 MYP with a build date of around Nov 1st.
I received no USS and the cameras are still the 2022 cameras.
I have reached out to tesla service hopefully in an effort to get the side repeater cameras changed. I'm less than 100 miles and I feel it should be fair to have the new cameras especially since USS is removed.
