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.

Undocumented change with 2025.20.3

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
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.
