I have since learned that this change isn't about what software version you're on, but rather if you have HW2 or HW3. It seems that cars with HW3 are the ones that are encoding to H.265/HEVC - several people across different online discussions have confirmed this (although I know the plural of...

Thanks everyone on 2019.12.2 who checked. It looks like I was wrong about it being the 2019.16 update that makes the videos, but rather HW3. That makes sense, especially if they’ve got a hardware H.265 encoder in the HW3 SoC. Now to go update my posts all across the internet where I was telling...

Ooh, I'll have to try that after work.

I tried that one, and it will work if you're just trying to play a single HEVC video, but it does not enable HEVC playback everywhere in Chrome (at least, it didn't seem to when I tried it). That will matter for apps like TeslaCam Video Player that add more functionality than "play back one...

That's interesting. Now I'm wondering if all HW3 models use HEVC, or if I'm falsely correlating it with the 2019.16 update. Anyone out there know they have HW and are still on 2019.12.x (and know how to check if a video is HEVC)? It would make sense - maybe the HW3 SoC (system on a chip) has a...

Sadly I don’t have any pre-2019.16 footage to compare it to (I only had my car for a day before I got 2019.16), but the quality of my current clips is good. No compression artifacts, glitches, or other issues. Can’t generalize that to everyone, but HW3 seems to handle creating the HEVC videos...

I don’t have any pre-2019.16 video to compare it to, but I was reviewing some of my Sentry Mode footage, and didn’t notice any quality issues or compression artifacts. It makes sense that they can use the extra compute hardware in HW3 to do better/more efficient compression.

No, they're smooth when they play. But I am running on a pretty beefy computer. If you're getting lots of freezing in your videos, maybe try on another computer to see if it's any different? I know that the H.265/HEVC video stuff is pretty new, and requires a newer machine to run smoothly.

Something I just noticed about the 2019.16.x update: it changes the file format used for TeslaCam videos (dash cam and Sentry Mode) to the newer, more efficient HEVC/H.265 codec/format. That means your computer (or whatever you're using to play back the video files) needs to support this new...

@jdeskins just a heads up, the 2019.16 software update changes the file format for the TeslaCam videos to HEVC/H.265 for dash cam and Sentry Mode videos.. As a result, none of the apps I've been using on Windows can play them, including your web app in Chrome. I'm guessing this is because Chrome...

That's my nightmare. Mine BARELY fits inside my garage, and I have to watch it oh so carefully every time. Still just about gives me a heart attack. Rubberizing the bottom is a good idea. I'm going to fix the problem long term by shortening the workbench that the previous owner installed in the...

The only thing that changed on mine is when I contacted my advisor a few days before delivery to have them change my registration to a limited edition license plate that I wanted, which raised the registration cost by $100. I had already accepted the terms/contract on the website, and when he...

Camera calibration complete in the first ten minutes after I picked it up last week. And autosteer is still there, and works fine. “Regular” autopilot (autosteer + TACC) works fine, it’s just “Navigate on Autopilot” that throws that message. It’s not a big deal on my daily commute, since I...

It's possible. One thing that I'm noticing pretty consistently (need more drives to say for sure) is getting "Navigate on Autopilot is temporarily unavailable, but may be available next drive". That's happened pretty much every time I've used autopilot since getting 2019.16, and it never...

It's a website/online service that lets you monitor and track a bunch of stuff about your Tesla, and aggregates information from all of its users about things like average efficiency, who is on what version of the software, etc. People get all excited when a new software version is spotted...

I haven't noticed anything "quirky" about autopilot, other than the fact that I'm pretty consistently getting "Navigate on Autopilot isn't available for this drive, but may be available next time" messages since I got the 2019.16 update (those didn't happen on 2019.12.1.2, and NoA worked as...

Someone in another thread asked for pics of the new Sentry Mode menu bar icon, so here are a couple I took (on and off - changes with a tap).

FWIW, I am more comfortable trusting Stats with access to my account than TeslaFi. The developer of Stats has posted frequently here on the TMC forums, and has been very open and transparent to what data is collected, and where it's stored (in your iCloud drive, not on servers he has access to)...

Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit I've been checking once or twice per day for a couple of weeks to snag these, and noticed that they're back in stock today (5/13, 3pm Pacific time). I ordered mine, and figured there were others that were trying to get them. Good luck!

Across the TMC forums and Tesla related subreddits, I've only seen one other person besides myself that has it. Seems to be going out very slowly. In other news, I tried Navigate on Autopilot on the way to work this morning, and got the "NoW is temporarily unavailable for this drive, but should...

It's all Favorites, or no Favorites. Nothing happens when you check the Favorites box except that it gets checked. I wish there was a way to be a little more granular with which Favorites are excluded, but for now, in 2019.16, it's all or none.

Not yet. Couldn’t take any safely while driving. I’ll see if I can enlist an assistant and capture some.

I’m the guy who posted those (both here and on Reddit). I took delivery 5/9, got 2019.16 on 5/10, posted those photos this morning. I didn’t mask out the car’s name (Friday) because that doesn’t seem like sensitive information. Am I missing something? Happy to answer any questions about...

Makes sense. I didn't drive it long enough before the update to notice, but I saw it today, and thought it was awesome. It is easier to see when the visualization is zoomed in on the car - maybe that's why it stood out.

Update: went out and took some pictures this morning, of both the release notes (exactly the same as what has been posted elsewhere) and the new settings. It adds automatic Sentry Mode, the new lane departure warning/assist (which was NOT turned on by default), and the new car visualization...

I got 2019.16 last night, and took delivery the day before. My build date is 5/19, so I’m assuming I have HW3, but I don’t know how to check for certain. Not sure about missing features - updated late last night, and I haven’t been out to the garage yet to see.

I feel like I won the lottery. I picked up my Model 3 yesterday (2019.12.1.2). Tonight I took my wife out on a date, and on the way home, I got my very first software update notification. Did the update just now, and it’s 2019.16. If I’m reading TeslaFi right, that means I’m one of the first to...

Just got home from my delivery appointment, and taking my wife to lunch. So, so happy. The car is beautiful, and I'm really glad I went for the blue/white. Only issues noted at delivery were what appeared to be a scratch on the front bumper (but was some kind of residue that came off easily)...

2019 Model 3 LR AWD, Metallic Deep Blue, White Interior, 18" Aero wheels, FSD

My advisor told me that a big batch of the new builds with white interiors were headed for the east coast, but they managed to divert one for me (Oregon). That might explain why supply seems to be loosening up back east.

Update: Delivery went great this morning. When I got there I mentioned the issue that people were reporting. My delivery guy hadn't heard of it, but didn't seem to concerned. He had me open the app and pop the frunk. I had to log in again after getting that error earlier, but once I did...

Certainly. :-)

On my way to my delivery appointment this morning! I’m ridiculously excited. :-) LR AWD, Blue/White, FSD, 18” Aeros. Ordered 4/30, site said two weeks, advisor said it would be more like 4-6 weeks. Settled in for the wait, but got my delivery notice and VIN on 5/5, and here I am 10 days after...

Same here. I’m actually on my way to my delivery appointment this morning, and though it had something to do with that (setting up my car, etc). Seeing all the others having problems makes me suspect a bug/server side issue. Hopefully it clears up soon. I’ll ask about it at my delivery appointment.

I got a text and an email saying “here is your tentative delivery date”, but nothing for “here is your VIN”. That is, they happened at the same time (getting a VIN and a delivery date). I don’t know if they send a separate notification for getting a VIN (say, if your delivery isn’t scheduled...

I wouldn’t worry too much. You have a VIN on your MVPA. You have a delivery date. Do you have an advisor you can talk to about any other concerns? Or maybe call the main support number on your account? I’m new to the tribe, but it doesn’t seem like anything majorly wrong (though I get being...

Your account should show both the RN and the VIN. For those of us who ordered when supply was tight, we had to wait between the time we placed our order and the time a car that matched our order was assigned to us (that's the "waiting for a VIN" talk you hear). From what it sounds like, since...

I ordered last week on 4/30 (LR AWD, Blue with White interior). The website said "two weeks" for delivery, but my advisor said it would be more like 4-6 weeks, and that seemed to be in line with what I was seeing here on the forums. Portland, OR area. However, this morning I got a text saying...

I meant it WASN'T there last night, but was this morning. Can't seem to edit that post to fix the mistake.

Yep. I've been checking multiple times per day, too, and it was there last night. Then I got the text at 9:39AM this morning, and when I checked the site right after that, I had a VIN.

Ordered 4/30 (LR AWD, Metallic Blue, White interior, 18” Aeros, FSD). Website said delivery in “about two weeks”, but my advisor said to expect 4-6 weeks, and that seemed to be in line with what I was reading here. I just got a VIN and text notification that my Model 3 should be ready for...
