I can’t believe that I rely on 360 camera views this much!

New owner of model y but I do miss the 360 camera view I had in my bmw quite a bit!

parking and navigating in tight spaces are harder without that surround view camera.

I’d pay more if that’s offered as an enhancement.

Funny, I'm coming from an Audi with the overhead camera view and have never missed it. The size/resolution wasn't good enough to be very useful except for avoiding parking blocks using the front camera (not really an issue with the Y). I find the Tesla's proximity line quite a lot more useful.

I agree. With all the cameras I expected a lot more out of Tesla. I much prefer the 360 view implemented as a near industry standard now. Our Bolt & Lexus are much better. As with most of the Tesla user interface the camera view is going to take some getting used to. Hopefully a functioning 360 view will make an OTA update at some point.

I missed 360 and front blind spot on the BMW. The side view in the camera is serviceable though. No answer for front blind spot which seems to be needed with the expansion of outdoor dining onto streets due to the pandemic. Either way the biggest Tesla miss is old fashion blind spot detection mirrors. Tesla’s implementation lags dangerousl.

The 360 camera on my wife's Infiniti is never used. I don't even look at it. So I don't miss it at all.

 

[jsight]

+1 - This is the biggest missing feature, IMO.

I too miss the option of 360 view which was Avalon my 2011 BMW 3. Would have avoided the front passenger wheel scrape against the pavement that I had recently

I used it every time I pulled into a parking space. I could NEVER tell where my 2017 GMC Acadia was in relation to the marked lines. Can't count the number of time I got out of the car only to find I was not "centered" in the parking spot leaving one side of my vehicle exposed to the vehicle next to me opening a door into me. It's like a lot of accessories, once you live with it you come to rely on it. Being 68 years old it was like getting Cruise Control, Memory functions, power liftgate etc. Tesla is much like Apple in this regard.

Here's a workaround to try. Voice command "camera" forces camera view on. Use the swipe to open the side view camera view on the screen. Not a true 360 or above-the-car view, but you may find it useful. Cheers.

I had the 360 view on my last two cars and really miss it. Used it all the time one I was partially in the space to make sure I was in the middle etc. Should be a simple update push if they figure out the algorithm to piece together the cameras.

Elon said this will be added but as part of FSD, hopefully with the pressure of other brand EVs they’ll reconsider.

This post from a blind spot thread suggests the pillar cameras should be able to show enough to at least protect your front wheels and give you a good idea where your back ones are heading - combine both sides with the rear view camera could be a reasonable alternative

Post in thread 'Model Y, no blind spot warning?'

Given I have rim rashes on all 4 wheels after 3 weeks of ownership I’d like some design of something to help me avoid it further.

So something that’s standard on a Toyota Camry is 10k if you want it on a Tesla. NICE ELON!

My first ever experience with it was on my brand new BMW 650 and still managed to clip the wheel rim despite the camera showing some space (distortion of the view I suppose) so lost faith with it from that point.

Interested to see when/if we do get this feature and how it performs.

One tip I use that I picked up here on the forums is to create a profile called 'Parallel Park' or something. In the profile I have the mirrors dropped down so I can see the curb.

I agree. I’m afraid to drive on freeway because of terrible blind spot on L and a lag time on monitor

 

[Sassyo]

I meant R side blind not L!

 

[Insyder22]

it will probably be like a $300 upgrade or something. screwed up one of the wheels in the first week. Had a 2017 Mazda cx-5 for 3 years and never did that...

Huh? I have a 2019 Camry Hybrid and the only thing it has is the backup camera. Something I need to enable?

I believe this has been standard on the Camry for the last 5 years at least. It’s one of the icons on the screen when you bring up the rear view camera.
