I would say it does not provide a blind spot remedy. Cars show on screen only when in front of B pillar. Which means you can see them if your eyes are open. Watch some of the videos and compare when car in video is seen to when it appears in the IC.
Darn it! That's a disappointment. I don't need cars on screen when they're in front of me or right next to me. I want to see them when they're behind and to the side. The car supposedly has enough hardware for FSD, so it ought to be able to display nearby cars at any angular position.
Yeah kind of a bummer. If they would turn on those side repeater cams for use.....well I might give them the $ for FSD. Show me some progress and it would make me feel better forking over $.
Tesla says, and for the most part makes good on the promise, that all safety features are standard. Using those additional cameras, which all Model 3 have, to provide blind spot assistance, would be, IMO, a very important safety feature. The FSD software, when it becomes available, is an optional feature that costs extra. But using the already available hardware to provide blind spot visibility would be a safety feature which could and should be implemented with or without the FSD package.
However, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because I believe they honestly want to provide the safest car possible, and assume that there are good reasons why the software is not yet ready to provide that feature.

I can easily see what is in front of me, I'm hoping for a display of the cars directly behind and in the rear adjacent lanes.Hadn’t seen this in this thread/3 forum yet. Apologies if I missed it.
Updated earlier today to 2018.21.9. M3 and MS now on exactly the same build versions.
Addition of autopilot freeway exit deceleration, cars in adjacent lanes now on display (though doesn’t disambiguate trucks, motorbikes, etc from cars yet) and easier saving of driver profile settings (now with Hvac stored too)
Wipers still frustrating when rain-sensing. Needs to rain in Fremont more...

You along with everyone is anxiously waiting for this.
EAP doesn't use all cameras so it will be interesting to see how this plays out since it is often brought up as an enhancement request.

EAP should be using two of the front cameras and the two side repeater cams once it gets turned on, so blind spots should be covered just fine! They probably don’t see much use in enabling the backup camera for the highway, since this info isn’t that useful over what the sonar gives you if they are going to program something in to respond to tailgating. Probably needed for FSD autopark later on I’d guess.
Does anyone know if the self driving features Elon says will release beginning August with version 9,and over the next 12 months, are only included if you buy FSD? Or are those things that we continue to get under EAP . If it’s a mixture, which elements will only include within FSD? I’m interested in stop sign, traffic lights and unassisted lane change for now, but anything else realistically in the near term 12 month horizon. Thanks
Well any "self driving" feature would likely be part of the FSD package.
Stop sign and traffic lights are surely limited to FSD purchasers. Unassisted lane change, at least on a highway, is supposed to be a feature of EAP.

The antennas are in the side view mirrors. Though I don't know which mirror has the WiFi. (I think it is the passenger mirror on the S&X.)
Do you have the most current firmware, 2018.24.1, that enables WiFi?
If so from the recently updated manual:

I am wondering why they don't roll out the update to all Tesla's at once. I haven't seen anyone post any major issues with the update.
