Thanks so much everyone! -Brian

Wow - thanks Mike! Much appreciated! Anyone recognize the make/model of the car? I will try to contact the police today - wish me luck! -Brian

Sorry -Links have been updated as I didn't post the videos as public... -Brian

I wasn't sure if I should post the full clips so I just posted stills to give an idea of the quality. As for the drive, it was a 64G partition split along with another 64G for music. New drive is $240 with about 190G for TeslaCam so if 64G got me 1 day of clips, I should be good with 2-3 days...

Last weekend while visiting my newly minted grandson, my Model 3 was rear swiped from behind while parked on the street. This happened on a Friday evening and I didn't get back to the car until Sunday afternoon. Thinking everything would be captured on SSD drive for the Sentry videos, I...

I use Teslafi - not an app but a web service at Teslafi.com. It provides stats on drives, charges, software updates and tracks costs. Best utility for the tesla - only regret is that I missed the first month or so of stats when I got my car before I even knew about it! Give it a try - free to...

Top car names can also be found on Teslafi.com - For those that don't know, Teslafi.com is a fabulous site that helps track drives, charges, costs, software and has statistics which includes the Top 10 names. Mine is Joules - lowest on the top 10 but I believe much more interesting than...

Why would you need to estimate when there is a tool like TeslaFi out there? Lots of great data gathering including home and supercharger charges. Enter your electrical rated and Teslafi.com does everything else. Check it out with a free trial- use bsietz as your referrer and get an extra few...

Ugh - I *just* had Safelite repair a chip in my windshield yesterday! My insurance company (GEICO) covered the cost of the repair, or a $50 deductible if it couldn't be repaired and required a replacement. In my case, the chip was not directly in my line of site - low near bottom and almost...

I have done that more than once! I don't remember where I got the recommendation, but simply sand or file it smooth and use this touch-up paint. Perfectly matches the color of the rim. Use a very light touch - don't need much...

I drove by and snooped in from the parking lot next door and I saw some large plastic wrapped items with Tesla on some kid of packing slip, so things are looking good!

I got my M3 in September 2018 and just recently installed a 240V circuit for the charger and boy does that make a difference! I too have a 100A service and was also completely full. I even have an old breaker box - Cutter-Hammer so to make it work, I swapped out some full sized breakers for...

Does anyone know if they plan to re-open a non-Tesla charging station? They used to have one in that back corner parking lot but took it out. Good for us Tesla owners but not fair to everyone else...

Both good points but I'm betting that they wanted to get Sentry mode to users as soon as possible, then make it more feature rich. Like for example the folding mirrors - can be enabled automatically by location. I would hope that Tesla would incorporate some sort of location based enable/disable...

Not a bug - it was done by design and I have no idea why... Have you considered any of the data logging apps? I use TeslaFi (www.teslafi.com) and it tracks/logs everything about your Tesla - drives, charges, idles, software versions, and even calculates costs and cost savings over gas! One of...
