Everybody, PLEASE open this as a bug report. This will bump it up in their queue. I was told to just wait until it was fixed with software, or I could pay $550 to have my camera swapped out with a different one. This sucks.
The underlying issue being discussed here does NOT relate to a camera Fault based on evidence so far.
Both brand new cars with MCU 2 and cars that have been upgraded to MCU 2 exhibit the same problem. The only common element is that MCU 1 cars do not have the problem.
I have seen nothing to suggest that there is a camera replacement that would fix the issue. Try and find anyone with MCU 2 who can post a decent low-light image from the rear camera.
Look at the combined feed from Teslacam viewer and you can see that the rear image contrast on MCU 2 cars is completely different from the other three, but only on MCU 2.
"I was told to just wait until it was fixed with software, or I could pay $550 to have my camera swapped out with a different one."
What they maybe didn't say is that you would be any better off with a different camera or that you could avoid waiting for a software fix.
'fixes' showing little or no longterm progress:
USB audio player bugs.
Reversing camera contrast / brightness.
Fogging of b-pillar cams in cold weather.
Phantom braking.
Condensation in light units (rear and driving).
(obviously not all software, but certainly been sat on my list for over a year with no progress and promise of 'fix' to come eventually.)
