> The new Apple Vision Pro arguably has a better set of cameras, sensors and signal processing than a Tesla...
IIRC a number of cars, even Subaru, have better cameras than a Tesla. Really, the cameras Tesla included on the Model 3/Y are fairly mediocre off-the-shelf hardware from years ago. But they do have more of them pointed in different directions, so there's that.

Are you saying this from datasheets, or looking at the camera images?
Tesla cameras aren't optimized for humans, their Bayer matrix is likely designed for day and night machine vision including infrared, so the colors might look washed out to you. I heard at one point they were using RCCC and later moved to RCCB [1]. If I'm not mistaken C allows all light, including infrared. Cameras designed for human viewing are RGGB.
Dynamic range isn't a simple problem to solve depending on how it's mapped to the screen. If the mapping isn't done well, then it could look much worse than what the camera can 'actually see.' Glare and resolution concerns, though. certainly.
Yeah I had heard they had something in the pipeline, particularly on the Y, wasn't sure if it had actually rolled into production yet, and on what models.
