[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the process of divorcing my husband.  I accidentally hit someone when I was backing out of a space.  I looked and didn't see anyone and the cameras didn't show anyone.  Then, the camera cut out and I hit someone.  Later, they did a recall for this issue in newer models.  I got the runaround at Tesla and finally the 6th person many months later said that I can't rely on the camera to work.

Should I try to get Tesla to fix it?  Just use insurance?  Pay him cash so it doesn't hurt my soon to be XDH's insurance prospects?

I don't feel like cameras are a BONUS accessory.  It's like randomly the side mirrors and rear-view mirror drop off.  Any advice is appreciated, even if it's to give up and accept what I was told.

[b](P.S.  I got a new Tesla recently and it doesn't say anywhere not to rely on the camera.  It's in small print somewhere that no one will ever read.) [/quote][/b]

Seriously? This is the equivalent of McDonalds telling people that coffee is hot or putting a suffocation warning on a plastic bag.

Shockingly everyone used to drive without any cameras at all and we all had to use these things called our eyeballs. [/quote]

Unfortunately, some cars are being built with such poor visibility that the drivers are required to rely on their cameras. Tesla is not one of those, however. [/quote]

BS. Manufacturers aren't going to design and build a car where camera reliance is a necessity because of the liability. Some cars have fewer blind spots and better visibility than others, but that's always been the case. If someone cannot operate a car safely without relying on a camera, they shouldn't be driving that car.[/quote]

Not PP, but I wouldn't be too sure...
