Tesla's Hardware 4 EVs Have An Unused Forward Camera Slot, But Why? via insideevs.com

That said, HW4 is already popping up in some new Teslas, and people have noticed an extra camera, but a closer look proves it's not actually a real camera. There has also been discussion on social media and in various related forums about the company bringing back some type of radar or other sensors, though nothing has been officially confirmed.

At any rate, the updated service manuals have a section related to cleaning the windshield, and it revealed the"dummy camera." Tesla's HW3 EVs have what is referred to as a" Tri-Foward Facing Camera," rather than HW4's"bi-camera assembly." To be clear, current models use three forward-facing cameras and HW4 models will have two, though there's a spot for a third camera that's not populated with the hardware.notes that Tesla's self-driving computer required three cameras in the past, but thanks to HW4's higher-resolution equipment, there may not be a need for all three. The publication writes that HW3 cameras have a resolution of 1.
