From the previously attached article, Tesla has 3 forward cameras to cover different distances, but do note that they also cover different fields/angles of vision, so something will be missed if any of them malfunctions.
Tesla Vision only autopilot is limited to 80 mph. So, there’s that.
80MPH would indicate that it's.lomited.forneither safety reasons or at 80mph, the time to acquire, process and react would have you running into an object.

Also I missed a post where someone was talking about how far a camera can see and the effective distance of BMW ACC.

A vision systems can be blinded by intense light.
Also dense fog or rain can cause issues. The same types of things that blind a person will blind the car.

As for radar, minimally effected by rain and fog. Another key point is that a radar system knows if a dense object is ahead, even if covered.
