Do You Have Old Images Displaying on Your Car's Camera? Here’s What It Could Mean

Have you ever experienced a glitch with your car's camera? You may have had the same experience as many other people. A 2013 Model S owner recently reported that their car's camera was displaying old images from a car show they attended several days prior.

The driver noticed that when backing out of their garage, the camera showed an image from a few days earlier instead of what was actually happening in real-time. The issue persisted even while reversing and driving. After some time, it changed to a black screen with white wheel lines, then back to normal again. Two days later, the same thing happened but this time the image displayed was from a week ago!

It turns out that Tesla cars upload data and video for AI training purposes. This could be one source of the bug. If you haven't bought the upgrade yet, then this could be a symptom of needing it. Tesla offers MCU2 upgrades which can solve this problem and provide better performance too.

The driver has already done an MCU Recall/eMMC and checked all wired connections, however, after 12 days the issue still persists. It seems unlikely that such a small buffer would store images from 7 days previous.

If you're experiencing similar issues with your car's camera, don't panic - it should self-correct over time. However, if it doesn't then it might be worth getting it looked at by a specialist or contacting Tesla directly for advice.It's important to note that this issue is not exclusive to Tesla cars. Other car manufacturers have reported similar issues with their cameras, so it could be a general problem rather than something specific to the brand.

In conclusion, if you're experiencing old images from your car's camera then don't worry - it should self-correct over time. However, if the issue persists then consider getting an upgrade or contacting Tesla for advice and support.
