So I got a text from mobile service person at Edinburgh this morning asking if I would be available Tuesday afternoon, so he's going to come tomorrow and replace the camera. 7 days for the part isn't bad service given I just reported the issue on the 18th Jan afternoon.

Update on the above - Tesla mobile service came this afternoon and he was here a grand total of 6 minutes to replace the camera!
Just changed mine to mobile appointment. Didn't want a 2 hour drive for 6 minute fix

I'm sure the service centre could have made your drive more worthwhile and padded out the fix to a couple of days
To be fair when I had some chips to be repainted they let me take my car straight to the body shop which is 5 miles from me rather than make 4 trips across the M8I'm sure the service centre could have made your drive more worthwhile and padded out the fix to a couple of days
Slightly related but had a ranger over to look at the suspected condensation in both my B-pillar cameras (typically it had completely gone when he had arrived, so we decided not to bother changing them at the moment). In the end he just said he'd verify the presence (or rather the lack of) Gore patches on them.
It took the guy all of about 30 seconds to pop the entire pillar glass section off.
I'm pretty impressed with how Teslas have been designed to be worked on really easily. I was expecting him to be having to pull back trim and all sorts to get to it.

Apparently to remove the camera you have to remove the plastic around the wheel arch and then bend the clips from inside the wing and pull the camera out. Or you can shove a plastic screwdriver/spudger into the sides of the camera and break off the plastic clips on the old camera. Disconnect/reconnect the wires and push the new camera in. Sounds awful, but much much faster.
I seem to remember there were some cars that had shortened wiring looms so the cars had faulty cameras from delivery. Wouldn't have thought it would have caused the cameras to fail later.
No idea. I know my cameras worked for the first few months and then stopped working in late November or early December. I originally booked the car into Bristol in early January, but the appointment was moved back as they were looking at it over the air.
