    Problems with dashcam

    I'm seeing the same. Vehicle format option is dimmed out, and the car says that the drive doesn't have a file system (although it mounts just fine on my computer.) Oddly, I was able to launch the viewer in the car and view old sentry clips, but the car still complains that the drive doesn't have...

    USB Device Malfunction

    They told me that they were sending me the "V2" hub, but frankly I cannot tell whether there's any difference between the one that arrived last week and the one I originally bought in November 2020. There are no model number markings on these devices. I'd asked whether this was a Version 2 of...

    USB Device Malfunction

    I found that the Jeda hub was the issue for me. Tried several devices ... an SSD drive, a thumb drive, and a microSD card reader with a high-endurance microSD card. All worked well in extended tests (over several days) when plugged directly into one of the car's USB ports. All exhibited the...

    USB Device Malfunction

    I have the exact same situation. I was getting USB Device Error messages .. even thought the USB drive appeared to be working correctly (saving and displaying clips). I tried three USB devices in all: an SSD, a thumb drive, and a Micro SD card, all of which had worked previously. Had the same...

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    Thanks Glenn, just added my 2¢ to that twitter thread. HWY 3 is an important tourist route for Vancouverites, and Vancouver is a strong market for Tesla.

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    Wow, tough crowd. It's not as obvious as one might think. There are three other companies in that lot with reserved spots (i.e. "you can't park here unless you're doing business with us"): Modo, Zip, and a car detailing service. You do NOT pay for parking when using any of those spots. So...

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    Well, spoke with a manager at Tesla and, alas, you DO have to pay for parking while parked at the Superchargers in that lot. Charging is not complimentary though (a couple of people have commented that it is.) These are Tesla superchargers, not Tesla destination chargers, so if your car pays...

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    Checked the long-term parking rates in that lot. It's $3,000 / year ($250/month) for a reserved spot. Let' say they're taking up the the space for 16 spots (eight places to pull up to superchargers, plus room for the chargers themselves). That's $48,000 per year. That could probably be...

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    I wouldn't say that "the charging is complimentary, this situation" because the charging is not complimentary unless you're an early buyer with unlimited charging. More recent buyers have a cap, and Model 3 buyers pay for all Supercharger charging. That's the case here. These aren't like the...

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    PS: Note that when a Modo or Zip car driver parks in any "regular" lot, or at a parking meter, they pay for parking like anyone else. When they park in reserved spots for Modo and Zip cars, however, including the ones in this parkade, they pay nothing. That's because Modo and Zip lease those...

    Supercharger - Vancouver, BC

    I'm going to try to get the official word from Tesla or Impark (which owns the lot) but I strongly suspect that you do not have to pay for parking while using the chargers. As others have noted, this is a pay-by-plate lot. There's no gate at the entry or exit, you're just expected to go to a...
