Tesla is preparing to update Sentry Mode and Dashcam functionality for the Cybertruck, bringing an extra camera view that was first rolled out to other models earlier this year as part of the Spring software update.
That update introduced the ability to view video clips from the cameras mounted on the B-pillars—the vertical supports between the front and rear doors. This additional perspective expands the vehicle’s field of view, eliminating a blind spot and improving coverage for both Sentry Mode and Dashcam recordings.
To support the change, Tesla also revised the Dashcam viewer, allowing drivers to seamlessly access all six camera angles.
However, this added camera view only went out to vehicles equipped with the latest Hardware 4.0 (HW4/AI4) and AMD Ryzen infotainment computers. For an unknown reason, the Cybertruck was left out, despite being one of the latest vehicles and having these specs.
This delay was particularly frustrating, as the new B-pillar camera view offers clear benefits for Cybertruck owners. Since its launch, the vehicle has been a frequent target for vandalism—everything from keying and panel scratches to more brazen acts already captured by existing cameras. Expanding camera coverage makes it far more difficult for vandals to approach undetected, while also giving owners stronger evidence to document damage and help identify those responsible.
As it turns out, there were some slight differences between Cybertruck and the rest of the fleet that prevented a direct port, but now that issue has been resolved, and the feature will be released for the Cybertruck “soon,” according to Cybertruck Program Manager Siddhant Awasthi on X.
While Awasthi didn’t provide an exact release date, the fact that he responded to the post on X likely means it is just around the corner, and is in the final stages of validation before a public release.
It will come soon! Cybertruck was not 100% carryover in execution like SX3Y so it required work. Team has finished work on this and just need to make sure it’s validated and runs reliably (which it should for its feature)
