Tesla HW3 Rear Camera Shield (Model S/X/3/Y, up to 2023)

This rear camera shield is specifically designed to give your Tesla HW3 rear camera an extra degree of protection. It helps prevent dirt and elements from accumulating on the camera's lens, contributing to a clearer and more reliable view when you reverse or park your car.

The shield is a redesigned version created with a focus on improved aesthetics and a precise fit. It ensures smoother surfaces and a perfectly centred position, giving a more integrated and professional appearance. This design is 1:1 compatible with the previous custom-made version and fits Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y with HW3 hardware, including models produced up to 2023.

To achieve the best durability and resistance to the British weather and UV radiation, it is recommended to use materials such as ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) for the production of this shield. Materials such as PLA are not suitable for this purpose as they may have insufficient heat resistance in sunlight. ASA is also known to be more hydrophobic than PETG, which can help keep the camera dry.

Mounting is straightforward with a friction fit that ensures the shield sits securely in place without covering the camera's field of view. Should the fit feel loose, a minimal adjustment to the size (e.g. in 1% increments) may be necessary, especially for materials that tend to shrink after printing.

Important: This rear camera shield is not compatible with Tesla HW4 models from 2024 onwards as these have a different camera housing.
