The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

Tesla's "camera-only" approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors.

"Weather conditions can impact the camera's ability to see things and I think the regulatory environment will certainly weigh in on this," said Jeff Schuster, vice president at GlobalData.

    Sure, but I really struggle to think that of the over 3000 sheriffs and however many mayors in this country none have tried. These are not all people with a rational way of calculating personal risk. Sheriffs and mayors are largely “The most insane weirdo you could find in the county/city.” Like, the currently sitting sheriff in my hometown killed a pedestrian drunk driving and is it’s widely known he continues to drive drunk. He clearly doesn’t think that much of his own safety, is it that big of a stretch for him to decide to save America from the evil Joe Brandon just by doing his job?

    Like, do you think Joe Arpaio is out here like “Man I would love to arrest Joe Biden, but due to the risk I perceive to my own safety, I’ll have to let him go”?
