Tesla to Introduce B-pillar Recording Feature in Cybertruck Imminently
Tesla's B-pillar Camera Update for Cybertruck Nears Release
Tesla owners of the Cybertruck can look forward to a new feature that is set to enhance the vehicle's security and surveillance capabilities. The B-pillar camera view update, which has been delayed but is now in the final stages of validation, is expected to be released within the next few weeks after mid-August 2025.
The update will provide two additional camera angles to the Cybertruck's Sentry Mode and Dashcam recordings, addressing a prior blind spot and improving vandalism detection and documentation. This is particularly beneficial for Cybertruck owners, as the vehicle has been a frequent target for vandalism since its launch.
The delay in providing the B-pillar camera view for the Cybertruck was due to its unique software and hardware architecture, which required more engineering work for integration. However, Tesla has confirmed that the issue preventing the direct port of the B-pillar camera view has been resolved, and the team has finished the work on the feature.
The update will be supported on vehicles equipped with Tesla’s Hardware 4.0 and updated infotainment systems. In addition, Tesla has revised the Dashcam viewer to allow access to all six camera angles, expanding the vehicle's field of view.
Tesla's Cybertruck Program Manager Siddhant Awasthi acknowledged the delay and explained that the integration was not straightforward, requiring custom-engineering for the Cybertruck’s platform. Recent community and insider reports indicate that Tesla targets a release "within the next few weeks" from mid-August 2025, fitting Tesla's pattern of rolling out incremental software improvements over time.
In summary, the B-pillar camera update for the Cybertruck should become available soon, possibly by early September 2025, as part of an imminent software update focused on enhancing the vehicle’s security and surveillance capabilities during Sentry Mode. The update will provide clear benefits for Cybertruck owners, such as making it harder for vandals to approach undetected and providing stronger evidence for documenting damage.
- The B-pillar camera update for Tesla's Cybertruck, initially delayed, is now nearing a release in the transportation industry, aiming to utilize advanced technology for improving finance matters by enhancing the vehicle's security and surveillance capabilities, particularly beneficial in the automotive sector due to high vandalism incidents.
- After the release of the B-pillar camera update for the Cybertruck, Tesla owners will be able to access six camera angles through the revised Dashcam viewer, not only addressing a prior blind spot but also expanding the vehicle's field of view, further benefiting the finance sector by improving vandalism detection and documentation.
