Sorry
@jjrandorin, this is a problem and better for people to know about so they are not caught off guard. Since this last update 8.5, I've been experiencing seconds of black screen when I go into reverse. Started off very brief and quickly went to screen. Today when I was out twice in the car it was definitely taking several seconds longer and think 5 seconds would be a reasonable estimate. I don't recall any black screen issue when on 5.15. Went out for dinner tonight and well it got worse, I have no back up camera. Totally black. Concerned I have lost rear camera all together now until an update fixes it. Sent bug report/s. Did try reboot on two different occasions when we got the black screen. Still black. I did check the rear camera to make sure there was no obstruction btw, which there wasn't. Even tried accessing the camera from the screen controls.Turned the car off, exited and came back in hoping that might have resolved it.
Interestingly husband got 8.5 on his Model S last night and while we were out for dinner tonight he got another update. He was surprised to get one right after the other a day apart. He's now on 8.6. I'm hoping I'm getting an update tonight and it fixes this black screen issue.
I think you and a few others in this thread missed the intent of my post. It was not "why are you posting this?" I dont believe I said that. I said "who are you directing the "this is a problem and needs to be fixed" line at.
I agree its a problem, and I even agree it needs to be fixed. I get a bit tired of people here "complaining to the air" with definitive, managerial style statements is all. "This is a problem and needs to be fixed!" is normally directed at people who can actually DO something about the problem, unless someone wants to just complain into the air.
I see no problem with people sharing notes about issues / problems etc, and I see no issue with people being frustrated. My issue was with the specific verbiage of that specific statement.
I had the specific problem you describe (black screen, no camera) on firmware 50.6, It so happened that I was on my way to the airport that day, too. The airport parking I was at had a charging station... that I had to back up into.
The model 3 is almost impossible to backup properly into a small space with no backup camera, at least for me, due to how low I have to put the seat, and the slope of the rear of the car. I had a hard time getting into the space backing in properly with no camera due to the lack of vision from inside the car, and I HAD to back into that space to use the charging station I was going to be parked while on my business trip.
Nothing fixed it other than the car going to sleep.
So, to be 1000% clear, no where am I saying "why are we talking about this?" I was asking about the "specific" words used that I asked about, because one thing I have noticed here is that people (not just OP) have a specific desire to say things at "tesla" like they are responding to "tesla" on these boards, when its mostly just a bunch of users trying to help each other.
I wouldnt have even had an issue if the statement was " Tesla really needs to fix this problem!", because thats directed at "tesla" and not at the posters on the board. The phrasing used means it was (maybe unintentionally) directed at people posing on the board, instead of tesla.
Waay more words than I wanted to try to explain what I ment, but its important to me that if someone disagrees, they at least know what the intent was.
