Default Bed Camera

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn on the bed camera while at speeds of 40+. When I try it gives me a warning and won’t display it because of “safety”..

is there a setting I need to disable or what?

that’s what I was fearing. The user manual said you could but I guess at low speeds only.

bummer

I had a thought the other day I haven't tried yet. Has anyone tested to see if it works in TOW/HAUL mode?


If not, Ford needs to fix that pronto. It should at least give us 10-15 seconds to look at cargo in the bed while in TOW/HAUL mode. Silverado does this. It's the primary feature of a BED CAMERA!!!!

Exactly! If I wanted to see what was in the bed while I was stopped, I would just get out and look at it! Lol

I bet Ford is more concerned with people looking in their bed for 15 seconds while hauling butt down the highway at 70 than the drivers inability to safely transport stuff. LOL

To turn on bed camera do the following
1. Hit the camera button on the top center row of dash.
2. On the touchscreen push the 3 lines in the upper left corner
3. on the touchscreen push the last symbol on the top of the screen looks like the top view of the truck with a camera symbol on the bed.

Doesn’t Tesla allow some cameras operational while driving? Speaking of, I’m pretty sure they have a full web browser too, that would be nice.

I had a Tesla Model S, the browser was a joke, but you could watch the multiple cameras on the screen while driving. Although it made me sick when the rear view camera was in view while I was driving forward ... hard to explain
