Heard a report that 2018.42 allows for the camera to be pinned to the top? Anyone received the version can confirm?

I feel like I'm being trolled.
It's like waking up on Christmas morning to see a bike shaped present. Is it a bike? Or is a bunch of clothes made into a shape of a bike?

Might be a combination of good and bad. It's really a bike, but has no wheels unless you go buy them separately, the steering is loose and the chain keeps coming off the track. You can buy an extended warranty for it, but will cost more than the bike

Really? Well it is not working on my car (42). Unless I can't figure out how to do it, then their FakeBook posting is just wishful thinking. Maybe I need to play with it more. Frankly, although I tried it, I didn't put that much effort into making it work because I normally use it at the bottom anyway.
Elon made a tweet (can't find it right now) about being able to put the camera on the top in the "next point release". I suspect some people are optimistically interpreting that phrase to mean "the next software update emitted by Tesla".
As pointed out above, it's not on TeslaFi or ev-fw.com yet, so "pictures or it didn't happen" would seem to be appropriate, at least at this time.

Well that is nice information. I guess I need to go back out to the car tomorrow when I fly home to try again, and see what I missed... if it is really there in .42
Also thought that the point release would've meant 9.1 so I didn't expect to see it anytime soon.
Poster on FB is pretty reliable, but is the only mention I'd seen so far, which is why I wanted to pose the question to a larger audience.

Ok, curiosity got the best of me with nothing to do in a hotel room. So I called the wife and asked her to try it. She said "No, I can't get the camera on top, BUT, we have a version 41 not the one you think.
So much for my earlier post accuracy. No wonder I couldn't get it to the top. Hey, I guess the wife is smarter than me after all
Maybe there is something to look forward to later.

MAN I hope this is true. In my neck of the woods, Waze has been much better than the native nav, hence I've gotten completely used to seeing my camera on the top half of my screen. I've continuously been getting duped by my muscle memory since the V9 update- I keep glancing at the screen when doing a lane change.

I've got mobile service coming in a few minutes, will see if they can push 42 to me. This was the only thing holding me back from v9
Edit: mobile rep said he couldn’t confirm that 42 did in fact allow for positioning of the rear cam on top. Might hold off unless I can get some concrete proof

Thanks for the pic.
UGH they just HAD to keep the window afloat.
I really wish they'd allow for a full-width static option.

Don’t forget that it can only be ridden in unicycle mode.
Why? What’s wrong with it?
