Amirza - How do you all feel about the blind spot camera in Teslas? Me personally, I still don’t feel comfortable using those alone and the camera quality isn’t great. At night it is even worse with car headlights.
Have you gotten used to them? I have tried to use them but then find myself looking over my shoulder really quick.

It took a bit of getting used to at first. The vehicle we traded for the MY would alert you audibly if you signaled and someone was in the lane. I wish all cars had that. With the Y, the camera took some getting used to, but I first look at the screen to see if it shows anyone in the area. I had to reposition the camera display over to the right to get it off the same side as the vehicle overlay. That said, I still look over my shoulder if I'm not 100% sure.

I'll share my opinion,

One time I was parking in my backyard, and my dog walked next to my daughter, and it displayed a person walking a dog LoL

I use the pop up camera image when changing lanes; I've gotten used to it. But our Lexi BSM warnings are are far better. Tesla needs to add this to the side mirrors and a HUD. That's my opinion.
I would imagine an aftermarket retrofit of some kind would be well received.

Thanks, I welcome others opinions on this as I was just curious if I was the only one that didn't rely on just the cameras alone. I also thought about the virtual maps of cars around me but for the same reason I am not fully trusting of these things for whatever reason. As a result, instead of looking at the camera or virtual map, I just do a quick shoulder check since it seems easier to do one task instead of two to change lanes.
It also saw my daughter trying to sneak up from behind trying to snoop on me (see the back area)

i personally don't want my car 'guessing' what's around me as my only input.
i do love the hyundai/kia/genesis feature of in gauge camera display when you turn on a turn signal...
even doug demuro has said over and over it's a fantastic feature he wishes all cars had.

Even if it renders the object wrong (like mistaking a pickup for a big truck), you still know there is an object there and you need to avoid it. And if any of the cameras are dirty or blocked, you get a warning to clean the lense

That’s pretty cool you can park a semi like that in your driveway without your neighbors complaining.

2 and 5 are you
i don't trust camera based detection for such things which i still believe tesla only went that way for cost reduction. "virtual mapping" sounds cool except when it's wrong.
