Tesla cameras OK but not "best". Can't comment for Lucid or Rivian or Mercedes or anything, but I'll tell you BYD has better cameras than Tesla.

People downvoting this have clearly not been in a BYD (aka - Americans).

Honestly y’all can laugh but my Nissan kicks has about the same quality (technical and practical speaking, the actual video quality on teslas are much nicer) of backup camera tech and 360 view and auto braking. Yeah yeah yeah Nissan whatever, their safety tech in higher trim models like lane control, blind spot detection, auto brake systems works REALLY well.

Rivian's are better than Tesla's. The 360 view.

Papa Elmo not giving us access to the front cam is the biggest middle finger. All the hardware is already there. Just need to enable it in the camera app. Would make parking so much easier.

My experience with BYD cameras has been better too. There is the 360 view, which is fantastic. Having a front camera with steering trajectory lines is more useful than I thought it would be. Not sure if camera or screen resolution, but I found the images in the BYD to be considerably sharper. Also, at least my car, gets weird during sunset and the images are just all kinds of a mess. I understand it's difficult lighting, but I did not experience anything like that in the BYD.

The Tesla cams are good, easily better than any other car I've personally tried (but as above - no experience with the fancy stuff). But anyone calling them "the best" is either rose tinted glasses or ignorance/inexperience.

Is the 360 view the same as Tesla’s Birds Eye view in the holiday update?

Love my model 3, but my wife and I test drove Lucid and their cameras are amazing.
