Tesla to offer bird’s eye view

Thanks. Buried too deep for me to have seen it. Knew it must have been mentioned somewhere else.
[URL="https://www.engadget.com/tesla-birds-eye-view-parking-full-self-driving-210356831.html"]Tesla will offer a bird's eye parking view, if you pay a premium[/URL]
But only if you pay for full FSD
It should soon be easier to manually park your Tesla — if you’re willing to pay for the privilege. Elon Musk has revealed (via Electrek) that a “vector-space” bird’s eye parking view is coming, but you’ll need to buy the Full Self-Driving package.

Is it something that is often included with cars in this price bracket? If so not good to make it part of an £7k package. It has nothing to do with FSD either. If they want to make it a paid upgrade fine. But this makes no sense. How many other non FSD features will now be bundled this way? Not cool

It ought to have it as standard, loads of cars in this price range have it.
It's going to be a render using the extra information in the FSD rewrite, not a camera birds eye view (the Tesla doesn't have the correct cameras for that). The keyword there is vector space. This is not what other cars have, for better or worse.
Elon also said coming with FSD (ie. the rewrite) not that it would be part of the FSD package.. they may make it such to add value but that's by no means certain and I doubt they've even decided whether to do that yet.
There's even an early version of it in the summon that the USA has apparently, although for obvious reasons I've never seen it.
That has pros and cons.. the pro is it can be augmented with things like distance information and not include irrelevant details. The con is it'll only see what the car recognises, so might not be too wise to rely on it in the early days.

Plenty cars currently, of very similar price range, are giving birds eye view parking camera as standard kit. If not, paying a relatively small upgrade fee. Certainly not having to lay out 8k for FSD, that you may not need anyway!
Agreed, not cool Elon, if this is the case.

People say FSD isn’t worth the money, so when there’s talk of adding a feature to it that might make it more attractive that’s out of order?
I dont think this is the case. Wether FSD is worth it or not at a price point is down to the individual. Its a simple discussion that the birds eye feature will only be part of the FSD package and not a standard feature and i get it.
True that there are other cars that have this at this price bracket, if not cheaper and its just an evolution of the visuals that only benefit us when doing a manual manoeuvre ie. mostly parking hence it only being an attachment to FSD does not really make most sense.
The 2021 ipace model comes with this (avail in a couple weeks from our local dealership) its their upgrade from 2020 model - its called 360 cameras by them - but seems the same thing. I looked at the electrotek article and the pictures don't look anything like a tesla interface - very dated 1980's pale blue box at top stating 'rear' seemed a bit weird to me for tesla (is that just me?)

When EM said "Vector-space bird’s eye view coming with FSD", it would surprise me if the reference to 'FSD' didn't mean FSD computer (ie HW3) irrespective of whether the car was AP, EAP or FSD. I think it would be odd to make things more complicated by visualising things one way for FSD and another way for AP/EAP on HW3.
