NHTSA Complaint #11569655 — 2023 TESLA MODEL Y

The back camera of the Tesla model y does not provide necessary image quality to identify any objects/persons of cross traffic when reversing the vehicle. In one incident I was about to hit a person behind the vehicle as there was no proper cross traffic alerting and no proper camera view. When I approached Tesla for support they identified the problem and determined it is by design and would not be able to help much. As per the images uploaded, there is clear distinction of camera quality between side camera and back camera. Also the images taken when the vehicle is in stop mode making the back light illuminate otherwise the images would be much darker. Also I want to point out that the back camera functions good during day time and the issue happens only during night.
