#2I'm guessing so newer parts can still be used as repair parts for older vehicles

#3My vehicle has a couple "dummy" things on the inside as well. Places for plugs and switches and things that are only on other models. Maybe it's something like that? It'll be an upgrade option or on a different model? It's probably much cheaper to make the housing thing to be used in a wider range of models.

#4Everyone knows that a ship with four smokestacks can't sink, so obviously a car with three cameras isn't going to crash.

“tesla reuses old plastic molds for new car models” is a much less interesting title, though.

Those are typically just simple pieces of plastic to fill a hole. There is clearly no function to them.
What seems weird is they went through the effort of installing a nonfunctional yet functional-looking piece.

Cars do that pretty often. EVs for instance often have fake grilles for no reason.

Maybe it's just an actual part they have for other reasons.
