Side cameras when in reverse? Is this available?

That feature is available on version 2020.24.6.1.
Your vehicle will receive the update when you VIN hits the servers. There’s no way to force an update or anything. Just keep the car connected to wifi and plugged it.
If you just got the car it can take a 1-3wks to receive an update to the latest and greatest. Don’t stress over it, plugged in and wifi that’s all you can do

No. And neither is being on wifi ***for notification of an update is available to download***
But updates also won’t install under 20% I believe. It’s just good practice.

I got this update my first night with my Y. It's very handy, especially when backing out of a tight garage.

My experience so far has been that if you don’t connect to WiFi to install, after 3 days it will download over Premium connectivity. I don’t have WiFi at my cabin and have had 3 software updates pushed over the air.
Usually it’s only over wifi as some of these updates can and will be in the Gb size range. That’s a bit too much to go over cell signal. Now Tesla does say if there’s a “safety issue” it can/will go OTA via cell signal no matter what connectivity package you do or don’t have.
Most of the time I’ve received update notifications after the car has been plugged in for a bit and connected to our home wifi. Again, you can get the notification that there’s an update ready to be downloaded at any point though. It will then prompt you to connect to wifi to download it. You can totally hotspot your phone but depending on your phone plan that might be awhile
Once you update to 2020.24.6.1, select the back up camera and then swipe up. The side camera views will pop up below the backup view

Nothing here either. I'm not going to complain. I've had the car less than 2 weeks, still getting used to the software it came with.
I'm just a spoiled brat acting out like a fat kid denied of his nightly treats...
On a serious note, this is perhaps the most useful update other than the dashcam viewer since I've taken ownership of my Y hence my anticipation.
I was fortunate to receive the update three days ago. This is a nice added feature, however it would have been much more useful if the side cameras were further back so that you could easily see cars approaching in parking aisles as you back out of a parking spot. The camera is on the side pillar in the middle of the car, so it’s much less useful.
