We've been having some slight trouble lining up our parking using the front and rear cameras, so I did a little test.
I found out that the lines on screen are offset by a few inches and not centered on the vehicle. I thought they were supposed to represent the outer edge of the wheel, which would be nice. My marker poles in the pictures are eyeball aligned with the outside edge of the tires in these photos. I understand that the front camera is not centered, but they should correct for this. The back camera is perfectly centered, so why this is offset makes no sense.
1. Front right line is outside of the right tire edge. This is a good guide.
2. Front left line is inside the left tire edge. You will run over something on this line.
3. Rear left line is inside the left tires and bumper. You will hit something with the bumper or roll over something along this line.
4. Rear right line is inside the left tires, but closer to the outer edge. Still inside the bumper. You will hit something with the bumper or roll over something along this line.
Of course, we look at all cameras and use the mirrors when parking or reserving. Just didn't realize these lines were so offset.
I feel like this is an easy fix, hopefully someone at Tesla sees this and addresses this.
