Yes, it's certainly nice to have...I'll give you that.
But anyone that can't back up into a SC spot without causing damage because they don't have pretty lines on the backup camera shouldn't be driving a Model S in the first place.
Or driving at all.
Haha! You and I agree on that, but since there ARE people driving cars (including Tesla) who can't seem to back up without hitting someone or something, wouldn't you rather they had an additional tool so they were less likely to back into YOUR car? I've only had my Model S for three weeks now, but it isn't the same car I was initially going to purchase. I was shown a list of inventory cars and was very interested in one at a nearby Service Center, but had to wait until 5:30 to see it because it was out on loan. At 4:30 I got a call saying that, even with parking sensors, it had been backed into something and required some body and paint work. No additional discount was offered so I passed on that car and am now very happy with a different Model S.
What it really comes down to is that while I drove for 34 years with no backup camera at all, having one for two years on my last car with lines showing where I was going when I turned the wheels was quite a pleasure.
