HOT pillar camera between front and rear doors!

[Cyberham]

Drove my truck for a few hours today, rainy and cloudy day, and at one point I leaned my forearm above the open door switch on the camera and near burnt myself! I went and checked and the other side was equally hot! I couldnt keep my hand on it for more than a few seconds without nearly burning myself. Anyone else noticed this'?

I've noticed my wheel shroud cameras and the rear camera are often quite warm but the pillar cameras are not. I usual check before I get in though, not after a drive. It's weird because I wouldn't think the cameras should be doing anything when the car is parked in my garage with sentry disabled but they are still warm.

145F while sentry is off, parked in my 80 degree garage. Will get nuclear hot when parked outside.
This is going to burn out the cameras and Tesla will have to do another recall.

Heat is intentional here. Without it, condensation forms inside the pillars and blocks the camera.
