Tesla's in-factory camera calibration: Game changer or just hype?
No more post-delivery calibration drives for new Teslas. Cameras are now calibrated on the assembly line, allowing cars to drive themselves straight to the lot. Elluswamy claims this eliminates the 20-25 mile calibration drive, making Autopilot and FSD instantly available. This sounds amazing, but I wonder about the long-term implications. Will this factory calibration be as accurate as the old method? Could varying road conditions still necessitate recalibration down the line? What about software updates? Will those require recalibration too? I'm curious to hear from new owners taking delivery soon. Share your experiences. Is this truly a seamless transition, or are there hidden wrinkles we haven't discovered yet? This could be a huge leap forward, but I'm also hesitant to jump to conclusions. Lets discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of this new approach. Is this the future of vehicle delivery, or just another overhyped feature?
