I have driven in extreme rain flash flood conditions in north Texas and I consider this a specific challenge, natural, that would defeat his system.

Any amount of snow would do this too. It severely reduces the color space of road features.
Tesla cameras are not RGB, they're WWWR (white-white-white-red). Essentially they have a Bayer array, but only for 1 red pixel out of four, the other three are black & white. I believe that the W pixels aren't homogenous either, there is some design aspect that enables them to cover a wider range of intensities so that they can handle both darkness and full sunlight.
