Tesla Update 2025.20 Adds Multiple Camera Improvements [VIDEO]

Tesla has begun rolling out a revision to its 2025.20 software update, which includes several changes to various camera features.

The included changes affect the Camera app, the Dashcam Viewer and Tesla’s blind spot monitoring feature.

Rear Camera

For owners of a refreshed Model Y or original Model Y equipped with AI4, this update brings two improvements to the camera views when reversing.

The backup camera now includes a new toggle button in the top-left corner of the rear camera feed, allowing drivers to switch between the original, narrower view and the newer, wider perspective. When Tesla introduced the wider rear camera in update 2025.14, many users were upset that the view was now further away. Users will now be able to choose their preferred view.

In addition to the new rear camera option, the side camera feeds have also been enlarged to provide a larger field of view.

What’s happening with these changes is that Tesla has uncropped camera views, but they often choose to adjust or crop the camera feed to focus on the most useful areas, making sure that the vehicle’s bumpers and other items don’t occupy unnecessary space. With the changes in this update, Tesla is adjusting the areas of the video that are being cropped.

If you’re interested in what the camera views look like uncropped, you can check out the Camera Previews section in your vehicle that lets you view every raw camera feed.

Another camera improvement is available on update 2025.20.3 for all vehicles that received the updated Dashcam App with AMD Ryzen processors (how to tell if you have Intel or AMD). This includes all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with AMD Ryzen, as well all 2021+ Model S and Model X vehicles.

When reviewing footage in the Dashcam Viewer app, you can now tap the "expand" button, which looks like two diagonal arrows, to slightly zoom out on the video as it plays. This is a useful feature when trying to get a clearer look at specific details in a Sentry Mode or Dashcam event, such as a license plate, without the hassle of having to export the video file to a computer.

Blind Spot Camera

@max_bracco

Tesla is really focusing on camera improvements with this release. The Blind Spot Camera feature was previously only available whenever the rearview camera was on screen. Turning on the rear camera while your blind spot camera view was enabled would cause the blind spot view to disappear. Likewise, if you turned on your turn signal while the Camera app was open, then the blind spot camera feature would not appear.

With this update, Tesla now allows the Camera app and the blind spot camera feature to be used simultaneously.

Dashcam Viewer Multi-Delete

We recently covered another change to the updated Dashcam App in update 2025.20. This undocumented change allows users to delete multiple videos at once for the first time. This is especially useful if you’re trying to clear up room on your Dashcam USB drive. Previously, you had to delete each video individually, whether you were doing it in the vehicle or through the Tesla app.

Update 2025.20 Rolling Out Now

These camera improvements are rolling out as part of software update 2025.20.3. As with all Tesla software updates, it may take several weeks for this to roll out to your particular vehicle.

Tesla Expected to Offer FSD Transfers in Europe

July 15, 2025

It has been a long wait for FSD for European customers, many of whom paid for the feature years ago on now legacy hardware. While the FSD transfer program has come and gone multiple times, there’s something to be said about having it available in North America, where it can be used, and in Europe or other countries, where it still just remains the same as Enhanced Autopilot (differences between Autopilot, EAP, and FSD).

FSD Transfer is a nice goodwill gesture from Tesla that in theory doesn’t cost them anything. Instead, it keeps customers, especially those who have been waiting for years, loyal and happy. It also incentivizes them to upgrade to a newer Tesla with HW4, where FSD will hopefully be achieved.

In a reply to a post on X, Elon agreed with the suggestion that offering FSD transfers in Europe would be a fair solution for those who have already purchased FSD but can’t use its capabilities.

Sounds fair
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 13, 2025

A Fair Solution

FSD Transfer directly addresses a growing concern for many long-term European Tesla owners. Thousands of customers purchased the full package, often many years ago, with the expectation that FSD would eventually be capable and approved for use. However, the reality is that FSD, even as an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), continues to be pushed back in Europe.

As the regulatory process continues at a snail's pace, many of these early supporters are now reaching or have already passed the point where they’re ready to upgrade to a new Tesla.

Without the transfer program, it's a difficult choice: either throw away your original investment in FSD and pay for the package a second time (FSD price history), or subscribe to it in the future.

Offering FSD transfers is a good way for Tesla to meet them halfway. It's a difficult situation, and one that’s being hindered by processes beyond the control of both the customer and Tesla. However, a transfer helps both parties. Tesla sells another vehicle, and the customer gets to keep FSD.

When Will it Be Available?

Based on how FSD transfers have worked in the past following Elon’s announcements, this feature is likely to become available for a limited time period in the coming days or weeks. If it happens, we should expect an announcement from Tesla Europe on X and emails being sent out to Tesla customers.

Once the program is in place, all you need to do is complete your vehicle purchase and then inform your Tesla sales advisor that you’d like to transfer FSD. You don’t even have to sell or trade in your old Tesla; FSD will simply be removed from it as a feature.

Hopefully, Tesla enables FSD Transfers for everyone, regardless of region. It should be an ongoing offer until at least FSD is approved in the given country or region.

Tesla Increases Robotaxi Fare Fee, Up from $4.20

July 15, 2025

The introductory price for Tesla’s Robotaxi Network has finally been updated. In a post on X, Elon Musk confirmed that the new fare would be rolling out to complement the new Robotaxi geofence expansion.

This change marks the first adjustment to Tesla’s fares since the initial $4.20 launch price 23 days ago. While the price increase may seem significant in terms of percentages, when compared to other options in the ride-hailing area, it is still drastically cheaper.

But the price is now a princely $6.90, as foretold in the prophecy 😂
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 14, 2025

Context Matters

Robotaxi currently operates on a simple, flat-rate model. The new $6.90 fare gets you a ride to anywhere within the recently expanded geofence.

So far, this is the opposite approach compared to other services, such as Waymo or traditional ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft. All these services use dynamic pricing based on distance, time of day, and demand. A comparable trip on any one of these services could cost anywhere from $30 to $65, and potentially even higher during peak hours.

That doesn’t even include the tip fees for human drivers either - another win for Robotaxi (can you tip a Robotaxi?).

Even with the adjustment, the flat $6.90 fare remains less than half the price of a typical competing ride, making Robotaxi the most affordable point-to-point transportation option in Austin, aside from mass transit, for now.

A “Maturing” Service

The price change, moving from one meme-worthy number to another, is a sign that Robotaxi is finally graduating from its initial pilot phase. Following the first major expansion of the service area, this adjustment is a logical next step towards finding a more sustainable flat price.

While the new fare is a 65% increase over the old fare, the key takeaway is that it is still far cheaper than other options, and still just as meme-worthy. Tesla is aiming to have its early access riders complete as many rides as possible during these early months, and this pricing is still very reflective of that.
