The Toyota RAV4 is a beautiful SUV, and the last thing you want to do is ruin the interior with ugly wires hanging from the windshield. Most RAV4 owners are stuck in a dilemma: Do you pay the dealership $600+ for the official “Toyota Integrated Dashcam” (which has mediocre specs), or do you buy a

You already have 8 cameras on your car. Why on earth would you spend money on another one? It is the most common question on r/TeslaModel3, and the answer is usually painful to learn the hard way.
