First I've seen of this picture! Thanks for sharing! Is that camera not on the other pictures in the design studio? I'll have to check my reservation page.
This picture from the design studio seems to have a very conveniently placed camera right where you'd expect a rearview mirror camera to be!
Hmmm, liking that white version more and more. ;-)
I don't think the camera is in any other picture. But don't thank me, thank AnOutsider: 9/17 Accessory hitch now optional

Either that, or the left-hand falcon door wasn't closed properly
Unless they took a Model X up to British Columbia where there's enough snow for a pic like that I think it's a render. Misaligned doors on a render might be even a little too much realism. ;-)

I wonder why put camera outside, theoretically increasing windage, when it could be protected inside upper rear window, like the forward camera. If this "fin" persists, another possibility is more traditional antennae. If the windshield has electro-chromatic features, maybe they don't want to embed antenna?
Overall, I'm puzzled by placing anything in the slipstream if they don't absolutely have to.

You can see the (presumed) camera is placed right at where the hatch stops and the roof begins. There could be hinges and such that come in conflict with the camera if it were placed inside the window. They could probably place it lower on the actual hatch, but then the view might be blocked by the spoiler.
