    Winter charging issues, frozen charge ports, road trips

    More details- there is a long 12v cable that I've routed up to the driver's area so I can plug it in while I'm driving.

    Winter charging issues, frozen charge ports, road trips

    I just installed a low-voltage heating strip underneath my charge port. I'll report back with results. The strip is designed for telescope dew prevention, so basically bath water temps, but in the space under the charge port I'm hoping this will stop my troubles. I'll report back- sorry I...

    Winter charging issues, frozen charge ports, road trips

    No you have that exactly correct. I don't understand why a supercharger won't trickle charge in these conditions, but if the pin doesn't lock a supercharger will not give you a single electron. L1 or L2 chargers will work at max 16 amps, which generally heats the charge port enough to lock it...

    Winter charging issues, frozen charge ports, road trips

    Well it's happening again like last year, only worse. If it's below 20 degrees, my charge port won't engage. I have a service appointment but I'm wondering if anyone has had their charge port replaced under warranty? The workaround is to immediately drive to the closest L2 charger and charge...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    What version of windows are you using? Try manually creating some merged videos with the merge software. You can download it separately from Erik's website: tesla-dashcam

    Winter Tires on Model 3

    I noticed how quiet the X Ice were right away as well. Significantly quieter than the all seasons

    USB Too Slow -TeslaCam

    I've been using a Sandisk USB drive for more than 6 months. I did get 'the message' recently, but I just unplugged it, restarted the car and plugged it back in and I've been fine for a couple of weeks now. YMMV.

    Winter Tires on Model 3

    I went with IceX also. Last year I stayed with the stock all seasons and had 1 ice/snowstorm that was terrifying. Mostly they're fine but I do a lot of winter driving so this year it's dedicated snows for me. Next spring I'm planning a new set of wheels and summer tires.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Yeah, actually that's a known limitation right now. Everything I do in the program is based on the front camera. If that file is corrupted it won't work right. In my experience that's normally the most reliable camera. To your second point- I actually just added this feature. If you go into...

    "Tesla Model 3 Produces More CO2 than a Diesel Car" - Please debunk

    Even EV users claim that EV cars create more CO2 during production. Has anyone accounted for the building of offshore oil rigs and fleets of diesel trucks hauling gas around the planet? Have those been added to the carbon cost of gasoline itself?

    Spotify w/ V10 update

    The search function now includes spotify, I believe, but it's pretty flaky

    Extreme Vampire Drain

    Thanks for the thread- I didn't realize this was happening to me until I checked my Tezlab app and sure enough- huge losses since v10 upgrade. I shut off the smart summon prep and restarted with the pedal- seems to be back to normal but won't know for sure for a few days.

    Model 3 Seat memory restore positioning issue

    I've had this happen with regular positioning, not just easy entry. Sometimes if I tap my profile a 2nd time if finishes adjusting the mirrors and seat position.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    1.0.9 released- bug fix for error limit reached for people without rear cameras. also new preferences option- prev/next can be set to 2nd to last in series- skips to most likely section for sentry trigger events.

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    I could live with 5.0 if I had to. Seems like if they went to the trouble of having separate channels for front/rear they would have one for the sub too... just speculating.

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    Farts can be targeted- surely they have discrete channels

    Rain-X for camera lenses?

    Has anyone tried to use Rain-X on the camera lenses to keep them clear during storms?

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    Hopefully it will get added, but I imagine it's a super low priority (as it should be)

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    That just creates a synthesized effect- it's not the original Dolby surround with discrete channels, sadly.
  23. astrowunder

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    Also, Netflix displays the audio type in the program description- it should say 5.1 at least, but it only displays A))) at most. It's stereo for now- bummer.

    WoW! Netflix audio is super immersive!

    Ah I'm glad I'm not crazy. When Elon said surround was coming I was excited, but it's just stereo for now. Sounds good, but no front to rear effects at all that I can tell :(

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    My bigger question is what happens when you 'use up' the 260 or whatever and the estimate shows close to 0? Do we really have another 50 miles that it's just not telling us about?

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I've seen nearly the same. My first 15k I had 306-307. Sometime this summer it suddenly dropped to 297. Hoping it's just an algorithm goof.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Thanks- good suggestions and thanks for letting me know about the missed back files on delete. You can 'drill down' to specific folders now if you want a smaller selection of clips by browsing for a specific folder. It currently combines all video files up to 2 levels below the current...

    Also, (and I apologize if this is too obvious) the back cameras videos will only show up on data recorded after version 10 was installed on your car.

    Do you have an older X or S? Can you see them in the Sentry Keeper window, but not in the merged video maybe?

    Bummer- I hadn't heard that MC1 wouldn't have the back camera, but your experience suggests it's not available.

    Sorry Ned forgot your first question. Those checkboxes only affect the merged video, not the video shown in Sentrykeeper.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    I don't know about this. I have a model 3. Check your teslacam folder to see if 'back' versions of video files are included. If they are there, let me know the name of one of the files- maybe it's slightly different on the X.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    You're correct- WMP doesn't allow flipping. Eventually I make look into an alternative video function instead of WMP, but it won't be soon. The slider 'pop-up' unfortunately can't be changed from those numbers. The text above the slider shows the speed.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Ok, gang. I just uploaded version 1.0.7. If you find any problems, please post in this thread rather than email me. Big change in addition to the rear camera support. Erik added motion detection to his merge program so I added the ability to do this in SentryKeeper's options window. If you...

    Spotify Not Advancing

    11.1 seemed to fix that for me

    Spotify w/ V10 update

    I just got 32.11.1. This bug may have been fixed. I just drove home and the bug was driving me nuts, but after I did the upgrade it didn't happen. Could be coincidence, but I hope not.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    I think in this version the view will be Right, Rear, Left in that order left to right, non-reversed in the regular view, but the merged view will have many options. I'm going to have to write some help information for this because entering the parameters is something most people have never...
  42. astrowunder

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Also, I'm probably going to have to flip the left and right side cameras so the view is more contiguous. Otherwise a bad guy walking from the passenger side to the driver side behind the car would not 'flow' properly if that makes sense. So it will most likely be right-camera on the 'left'...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    The merge software has the ability to do this- I haven't decided which way I'm going to present it for sure yet, but I'll take your 'vote' under advisement :) You'll definitely be able to create that in the merged video, whether or not it's the way I present it initially.

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Anyone have experience with successfully stopping rust like this? I don't need it restored to new condition, I just want to halt the progress of the rust. Plus driving 5 hours and being without my car for possibly several days doesn't sound like a good time to me.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Yes, that's the old default with Erik's merge software- it makes sense if you think about the side cameras as 'rear view mirror' views. I'm not sure how I'm going to implement the default with my changes, but I'm adding the ability to add in any parameters you want to Erik's merge program so...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    First sneak peek. There's more work than I was expecting to move the windows around- have to go to 2 rows of videos now and I'm adding a couple of nice features from Erik Hendrix's software, in addition to allowing manual input of pretty much any parameters you want with his software.

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    I just had mobile service take a look. He said he's seen this before and it's going to require a body shop visit unfortunately. 5 hours total driving to fix this :( He implied it would be warranty work, but I don't have that in writing. Obviously before I drive down for this I'll confirm that.
