You realize there are four side cameras right... (and they overlap viewing angles)
There are only two side cameras, in both sides on B-pilars. See
A look at Tesla’s new Autopilot hardware suite: 8 cameras, 1 radar, ultrasonics & new supercomputer
Edit;ok, Tesla uses name side camera also from rearward looking side cameras, but my point is, that there are only one camera on each side which has visibility 90 degrees to the side and if that camera on the B pilar is blocked Tesla cant see at 90 degrees angle to the side.
