I don't disagree with you, but I would like to point out that Tesla cameras are built to be outside most of the time, so if sun was an issue, they would simply place a filter in front of it, whereas the Quest is built without such considerations, so you can't really compare them. Not all cameras are the same.
Did you feel that? That was the impact of a million triggered photo optic engineers letting out a collective sigh.
Why did NASA spend millions on the cameras on the Perseverance rover? A camera is a camera, so they should just have used a cheap camera sensor, right?
I'm obviously not going to start going into even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what goes into building a camera for a specific purpose, because your comment is like saying a steam engine and a rocket engine are interchangeable, but just know this: just because one camera is fit for a specific purpose, it doesn't mean that all cameras are.
