Do you know if adding whatever wiring the camera would need would be difficult? If all they need to do is swap out some parts and run a cable with less than an hour of labor, hopefully they'll offer it as a $700 upgrade or something.
I can't imagine the wiring being difficult - these cars are pretty modular, though I haven't personally taken the car apart to plan it out. What might be more difficult is whatever would need to be added for the camera washer (which is apparently a thing on the cybertruck).
The pre-release highland renders do make it look like it's probably attached to that lower grill trim rather than the bumper itself
Sorry but I find the “all they need to do“ and ‘run a cable in less then an hour” rather a funny assumption. Think about All the parts that need to come off from front bumper to inside car Inside computer to plug it in. Sounds like “a bit” more than all you got to do to me. lol.
Alright so hot off the press, front camera, RGB ambient lighting and sport seats are coming for plaids in 2024 model year, price going up $10k.

confirmed!The car computer is mostly accessible from the frunk. It's not quite as much labor as you're imaginging, and it's actually pretty common for harnesses to be run like that for retrofits in the legacy world.
I don't think think Tesla will sell it as an official retrofit, but I don't think it'll be difficult for us mere mortals to do if someone can figure out the software (there are people out there with access to make gateway changes, so shouldn't be a huge barrier)

You most definitely will miss out no matter if you buy now, next week, next month or next year. You're already aware, Tesla gathers no moss and changes things all the time.

Eh, the people who got in before the ultrasonics were removed made out pretty well. The expectation used to be constant improvement. Now you have to hope they don't remove more *sugar* by the time your car comes in.
Nov 4 order date here. No VIN yet. EDD 12/7-12/31.
My SA told me it wouldn't come until late December at the earliest, as they were shutting down the X/S lines for two weeks in November. That appears to be holding water based on lack of updates.

Yeah, that too. My 2022 MSLR has USS. But they are useless. Constantly changing squiggly lines and distance guesstimates. My Car has an anxiety attack each time I back into my garage. I'm used to it and gently whisper "its gonna be ok".

If you think they’re useless, you should try a car with vision lol.
Interesting SA feedback.
I thought this kinda ended yesterday for Model S when the delivery window changed to Dec - Jan from Nov - Dec shown this past Monday unless you get a reallicated unwanted order.
Model Y still shows Dec, but you mentioned S.

I was told by SA in San Diego, that even if S EDD showed Dec - Jan, they would still honor it, as it shows Dec as a possibility.
I understand that. Have been following Tesla 15 years. I meant they created this small window for Supercharging transfer and also something I’d probably wait for coming around same time. There is always something new coming out. I get that.

Thanks. Maybe hour guess is way off. My main question was possible without taking apart entire car or not. So if it’s something they can offer as an official retrofit for not a ton, that’s great. If not, it is what it is.
