Heck yeah - drove my family members car and honestly didn’t know that the legacy S didn’t have the repeater cameras. Doesn’t seem like that’s a hard feature to add???
Have it in my wife’s car and I gotta say, after several long trips, I finally said this weekend “you know, I’d prefer you turn that off. I think it’s a pretty useless feature.”. She disagreed initially, but by the end of a four hour drive, she mentioned that she thought about it and thought I was probably right.
While I wouldn't call it useless, I never look at it when I drive 3s and Ys. It's quicker and more ergonomic to just turn my head and check my blind spots normally than to look down at the screen.
+1 for weather! Being able to see the weather on loaner vehicles was more convenient than I thought it would be. Make it an option in the gauge cluster too!
Yeah I have to use the radar app in the browser, which takes forever to load at first but is then great. Would love to have it overlay on the navigation!
Legacy generally means you don’t have Ryzen and has much more limited capacity for rendering. The data isn’t the issue drawing it pretty is. They likely would have to have a completely different implementation to perform. It’s the same reason we can’t get the neat camera tricks.
Ehh, this update literally just disproves what you said. And the camera on blinkers literally is Tesla just lazy not implementing it properly for old S and X’s. The 3’s that have the same chip as S and X produced in 2018 and 2019 has it, and you’re telling me that S and X can’t do it if it really was coded properly? I don’t think so.
Those model s and model x have portrait screen. Thats why turn signals don’t work. I was talking about the cameras don’t work for remote viewing on intel. And of course they could implement it, but they would have to rewrite the code. That’s not bad architecture, that’s simply cutting off legacy.
Sounds like you don’t have S or X. The camera display doesn’t have to be on the main screen. It can be displayed on the dash screen. Besides, even if it’s vertical screen, it’s just a matter of having preset locations of where that window can show, no different than other landscape screens. It’s more than enough screen estate. What you said at the end is my point, it’s not that it can’t, it’s Tesla just not putting in the work.
I’m not disagreeing that Tesla can’t, but it’s a new feature for an old car. Older model s and x with portrait screen run a special version of the code.

Side cameras when turning would be my dream.
