Apparently he's the only real electrical engineer in the world and the people who wrote that data sheet are "incompetent." As are the Tesla engineers who called a recall, but only to add a wire guide to a harness.

Nice. Right now I've thrown some cable sleeve around the the bend in a similar manner as the official repair. I'm fortunate that my camera still works.In case anyone is watching this thread, I wrote up my stopgap fix here:

In your case they are going to give you a new harness. More details on the service bulletin for the repair here. I wanted to see the "official fix" before I made a DIY guide and possibly created more strain on the harness than without the guide.
2017-2020 Model 3 recalled for trunk/rear camera issue
Looks like the exact issue I am having right now. The camera will malfunction often after I open and close the trunk. I have an appointment in 3 weeks to replace the harness. Did Tesla actually fix it? I'm curious. They've canceled both repair appointments I had.
