I am very surprised that there isn't a blind spot detector; a very useful safety feature. The latest download I received showed additional cars in front but still nothing about what is next to me. I can already see the cars in front so that seems unnecessary. It would be an obvious addition considering most other new cars have this feature.I flip my turn signal on.
There's a car in the adjacent lane which I'm about to merge into.
The car doesn't seem to warn me.
I know there's sensors and cameras over there... should I expect a warning?
It works about 10% of the time. Not sure why this has been a perpetual Gap for Tesla . Every other car, even economy cars, have rock solid blind spot detection using the same hardware.
any ideas when we can expect a update for blindspot monitoring. I used to try cars with this function and very surprised this is not available for Model 3.
Closest thing now is the use of the ultrasound proximity detectors on the dashboard. Cars near the rear sides of your car show the white to red ‘glow’ on the back left or right of the car depending how close they are.
Position your mirrors properly and take a look over your shoulder. Blind spot indicators are not a substitute for proper observation, merely a driver aid.
I like this, thank you. But I still can not understand why, right now, there is not something implemented ? I would have to say that right now, there is NO practical blind spot detection. Really makes no sense to me.I'm going to echo the sentiments everyone else has said, but I also put together some suggestions on how to improve the blindspot Alerts.

If your mirrors are properly aligned as the SAE recommends (see) you do not need to even look over your shoulder...
