Found a good accessory for my Cybertruck

[Hansshow Technology]

I think this is a must accessory for Cybertruck, very useful. ? ?
What do you think of rearview mirror for CT?

I would rather one from a higher vantage point, but nifty ^-^

Agreed, the camera should be mounted higher, like above the bed, and should send the signal to the mirror wirelessly, none of this snaking wires pain...

Wirelessly has umm... Other problems.

I had a Garmin unit on a prior car where the camera above the license plate transmitted to the Nav system mounted on the dash and the image was very good.

What is the brand of mirror ?

Installation position for camera, it looks good.

I wished Tesla would’ve added this from the getgo, but I understand why they didn’t. Although, I’m used to the rear view on the big screen now. I hardly look up nowadays. The only unfortunate part now is when I drive my other cars I keep looking down. I know first world problems. Ha Ha

I posted most of this on the YouTube comments, but to add to it here:

I don't see myself using this product in the way you're showing it. I imagine this being useful for when you're towing, having a harness that another cable taps into by the hitch, and running the camera all the way to the back of the trailer behind your truck. And even more, I'd want a quick disconnect feature ON THE MIRROR since it'd only be used when towing and would stow it away all other times.

With the built in rear view and FSD, it really isn't all that 'ground breaking' IMO

The only way I'd use a digital mirror in the way you're doing in this example is if it can tie into the truck's built-in camera feed - which I know we can't do just yet.

I appreciate the ingenuity, and guessing this is due to wire routing, but this is terrible camera placement for a rearview mirror camera. Maybe if you want to keep an eye on a tow hitch, but that's about it.

I also had a wireless Garmin system, occasionally flaky but it was a 5 minute install and worked quite well for years before I sold the car I used it on.

The position of the camera is only the 2nd worst part about it. the worst part is that the image is not different than what's shown on the screen. The field of view should be significantly narrower to justify installing an LCD mirror. Things directly behind you should be much bigger, like they would be with a real mirror. Every manufacturer who has an LCD mirror option has already figured this out. But aftermarket is based on assuming you don't have a backup camera already.

I spent weeks looking for a product like this. But they only seem to exist with 120-180 degree FoV. We actually need something like 50-90 degree FoV. Otherwise the image is just as zoomed out as the one on the main display, and you can see that's the case in the image posted. The car behind is the same size on both displays.

Ideally, for me, I want an LCD mirror that shows me a more true to size image like a real mirror would, and I would still leave the tesla rear image on the screen, to show me the wider field of view for changing lanes.

It's just not worth the effort to install when all you're doing is showing the same image, just up in the mirror.

This should be standard, like any other upscale pickup. As should a sliding rear window.
