The Cybertruck will have side mirrors after all, but they're removable. What do you think of replacing side mirrors with camera monitoring systems? teslarati.com/tesla-cybertru… Image credit to @TeslaTruckClub
@Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub Love the idea of cameras, but curious about how the driver sees the side views while driving. I often check my mirrors while driving. Mirrors are quick & instant. Can't have a system where checking views requires button presses.
@DotComCTO @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub More then likely they'd be replaced by two equally sized 'mobile-phone screens' on the dashboard, right next to the doors (on the inside). That way when you instinctively look for your side mirrors, they will be in view.
@SFAA99409530 @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub That would be ideal. I could also see it being a view on a single screen where the left & right portions of the screen show what mirrors would show...presuming a wide enough screen, that is.
@DotComCTO @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub I reckon that it would go that way, maybe even fairly soon (simply a split view on the center console screen in the Teslas). But seeing how hard it will be to convince regulators to go from a mirror to a camera, i expect the side screens first, as it's the smallest change.
@SFAA99409530 @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub Right. As Musk said, the mirrors are mandatory.
@DotComCTO @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub Unfortunately, as they make up a relative large part of the still occurring air-friction a car experiences.
@SFAA99409530 @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub And while Musk says they'll be removable, how would that even work? Ok. I remove the mirrors, and start driving. About 10 minutes later, I get pulled over for driving without side view mirrors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DotComCTO @SFAA99409530 @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub honda e with sie mirror cameras
@FStropek @DotComCTO @Teslarati @TeslaTruckClub Something like that on the inside indeed 😉 ... the outside thing not so much, pretty 'ugly' i.m.o. ... I would 'hide' it in the front-bottom-corner of the door window.
