    Easiest way to format Samsung T7 SSD to Fat32?

    See my post on a different thread below. This is how I did mine. I'm sure there are other ways to do it. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6203190/

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    The one thing I hate the most on the update is the removal of the trip card. Now I have to go to the menu to look it up. I like to have the trip info on top so I know how long I've been driving and how efficient I am on my trips. I don't really care about the visualizations.

    Issue with Registration Fees and Sales Tax

    I received a check from Tesla regarding overpayment of registration fees, they automatically sent it to me after I bought my car in 2019. I don't recall how long it took though. I'm jealous of your sales tax, mine was around $3800.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I don't typically use the Windows disk management but I did try the free version of Partition Magic before using GParted which should be similar. I've used Partition Magic countless times before to do partitions, formatting etc so its not the software. For some reason, it wouldn't let me make...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I'm assuming you know your way around a computer as this is not a straight beginner's task. Note: If you have any data on your Samsung SSD drive make sure to back it up before proceeding since it will be erased. Steps 1) You will need to download GParted and install it on a CD or USB drive, go...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Alternatively, you can partition the Samsung T7 SSD and use one partition for dashcam/Sentry and the other partition for music. This is how I have mine setup, I have a T5 which is similar. I have a 1TB so I put about 300 GB for the dashcam and the rest for music so about a 30/70 split. It is a...

    Repair or replace front driver side panel?

    I suggest contacting a couple of reputable local paintless dent repair shop for a quote. That's the only way to get an accurate price on your repair.

    Certified check or personal check

    I gave a personal check when I picked up my car back in June 2019.

    How long before delivery do you pay the balance?

    I paid with a check when I picked up my car.

    Online order (wall unit) never delivered

    Personally, I've had deliveries that says it was delivered and ended showing up at my doorstep a couple days later. If it's already been a couple days then I would probably go through my credit card and dispute, just let them know your situation and what you've already tried to do to fix it.

    Chemical smell after car sits without being plugged in.

    Your specific issue is with the AC, nothing to do with how you washed your car. There have been many threads about the AC smell and how to address them. In short, you will need to clean the condenser and probably change out the air filters. This can be done DIY or through Tesla.

    Geico = gouge-co

    Geico kept raising my premium so I switched to Tesla insurance which was cheaper with better coverage

    Owners of demo cars, was the discount worth it?

    Yes, it was definitely worth it. I received a $6800 discount for a demo car, it was the 2018 M3 LR RWD which I bought in 6/2019. It came in the color I wanted, white, which was I think was $2k at the time and upgraded 19" wheels. The car came with only 37 miles when I picked it up. The only...

    Recent Accident- Sentry/Dashcam did not record the Accident!!

    If your hard drive is big enough which I'm assuming it is since it's a T5, try using a data recovery software to check your hard drive. It will most likely not have overwritten it yet and still recoverable. Also, I suggest not plugging it back in your car so it doesn't write anymore data to the...
