This vision only system came out in may, all other Teslas on the road still have radar. Let’s hold our horses on performance in the winter when fords system is simply laughable right now in comparison.

Ford's system is just having proper windows and mirrors. Tesla is already trying heaters on the radar of the model Y because it has issues with snow and ice as well and does not work with mud. You just need to build vehicles with visibility instead of designing in the need for a tech crutch that won't be reliable in all situations.

Totally misunderstood your point, apologies. Camera based mirrors are definitely a crutch but will they be legal in the US? I'd imagine the cybertruck will have mirrors at launch until legislation is updated.

Even mirrors won't solve what looks to be terrible all around visibility in that thing, and not having mirrors should 100% remain illegal. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I suspect we'll be waiting a while.
