New 5mp camera upgrade possible?

[arbitrage000]

It seems like only M3 has the new camera design. Some did report some MY with new style back in early November but I never saw anyone post a picture confirming it was the new style. I did see people say they had the new style until shown a photo of the old vs new and it ended up being the old style.

Can anyone with a MY post a photo confirming Tesla did fit some MY with the new style? I'm curious to know if they really did ship any with it.

All we know is no one has confirmed there is any difference in the actual camera sensor with this new housing (lens?) style.

I went to two different delivery centers last week, and every single Model Y had the older cameras. My friend's was built Dec '22 and still had the old style, so I can't imagine there are any Model Y with the newer version "in the wild".

One way to tell if the camera sensor is dramatically different will be if it can mitigate the "LED flicker" seen on other cars' daytime running lights. Tesla's FSD hardware 4.0 to use cameras with LED flicker mitigation

I can possibly try to test this this later today ...

I can confirm, the ‘new’ cameras on my Model 3 still have the LED light flicker situation.

Do you have light “bleed” at night with the turn signals. I think many of the older cars have light bleed with the repeater flashes

I had the orange glare on the repeater cameras as well almost for a 2 years. Early this week, due to water inside the side cameras/blinkers, I did a service request, Tesla mobile service came yesterday with the new cameras. Orange glare gone. I can confirm ;-). The new cameras part number:
Lamp Asy, Side repeater camera Left hand(1495864-20-D)
Lamp Asy, Side repeater camera Right hand(1495865-20-D)
Both Replaced Under Warranty

Zero light bleed, and that was a major annoyance with my 12/2019 build Model 3.

But I'm pretty sure they fixed that in 2021? Irrespective of these 'new' cameras.

I don't have anything like that on my Oct 2022 MY with the old style cameras.

Saw a LED billboard ad truck in the side cameras and it had the "LED flicker"

The Ryzen processor should have no issues

The Ryzen processor is the Media Control Unit. The camera feeds are not processed by the MCU other than to display on screen. Autopilot would benefit most from higher resolution cameras and MCU has no connection to autopilot.

gotta be possible basically computer upgrade
if harness can’t keep up the speed it can be changed. ppl who bought FSD beta for big bucks will get them.

besides more labor for technician which is good rather than working on brake and tires
i was hoping they would get 12 pixel cam lol

 

[heapmaster]

12 would be nice, although still a long way away from us humans 576 megapixels

Any update on these 5mp cameras?
The blinker bleed is pretty bad at night on my 2018 M3P. I would love to upgrade the cameras to the best revisioned ones.

they updated those a while ago like last year. if you're under warranty you can claim that your side cameras dont work well and have poor visibility and need to be replaced? THe new ones have zero bleed

Yeah I believe I am way out of warranty as I have a 2018 model 3 performance.
Just curious if the 5 megapixel ones are out and that part number is that one.
As if I'm going to replace it I would want the best ones they currently got. Or is it a waste of money and can just get a lower revision on eBay and install them myself.

Not worth it. You won’t notice a difference. There’s been side by side photos

Could you recommend a part number that would fix the light bleed?

The most current cameras already fixes it

Yes but there's been so many different revisions and I'm not sure which part number revision is the older one that still has the issues.
Would be nice to know the latest revisioned camera part number that fixes the light bleed

Refresh rate on the billboard mismatches the fps on the camera. Not a tesla only phenomenon.

I had mine replaced, cost was ~$350 parts and labor, new cameras are dramatically better than the old at night when using the blinker. Highly recommend the swap, even if you have to pay for it. The price isn't bad for two camera/blinker assemblies and labor.
