    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Card needs to be formatted to Tesla compatible format. Maybe it doesn’t work with Android.. Anyone get it working successfully with an android device? Will try to test today.

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Did you get it working? The update making other card formats possible might help. I’ve actually got an bb in there and not an Android device. Wonder if something about android is to blame?

    Sound Deadening Model 3

    What kind of cars have you had? I’ve never seen someone claim their model 3 was the quiet, let alone the quietest ever!

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Whatever is lying around ;) I’m using a BB Z30. Feels nice to be using it again.

    In V10 how to send videos to play in the Tesla Theatre?

    Same. 23 replies in and yet to have someone actually answer the original question.

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Been busy. So works fine. No issues with the video quality. Low cost method that is the most convenient so far. Depending on use, winter may be an issue.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    My point was to throw cold water on the wear theory. Pretty basic troubleshooting and it’s ruled out. Further propping it up is a distraction and counterproductive.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Again though, this isn’t a wear issue. New cars also experience this. Sorry, new Tesla Model 3s.

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Standard setup. Fat32 with the teslacam folder. Didn’t try with the internal memory given the fat32 requirement. As for the network, smb and any other smart device (TV, Phone etc.) will be able to access it.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Interesting. Hard to say if it’s the same, but it certainly could be. Can you report back after you speak with Tesla?

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Excellent news, mounting issue isn’t a big deal. As soon as the car powers down the USB ports it unmounts and voila, access. It auto mounts when the car is on and stays mounted when sentry mode is on. Pretty much exactly how I want it, and again, free. Only thing to test further is the write...

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    I was also considering something like the Raspberry Pi but thought I’d give this a go first, since it’s pretty much free (for me at least, and I think many). I threw an old blackberry z30 in there and seems promising enough. Not exactly how I want it so will continue to test different set-ups...

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Yeah, most have card slots, so not an issue. I’ll test this weekend, was just impatient and figured it must have been done already.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Appreciate the input, but I’m not convinced (your first point). This was an issue as soon as it rolled off the production line. To me that rules out longevity issues.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Don’t plan to, but I’ll give em credit, they string you along until you just give up. Been busy, so for now all I did was give a honest post service online review. Got me a call but I missed it. To be continued...

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Hard to know what they actually did, they are pretty sketch. They claimed to have done something. I’ve asked twice for details, yet to get specifics.

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Thanks for the input. Yeah, not sure you would need otg cable. If you don’t have old device sure, may not be the most economical choice, but who doesn’t have a number of older mobile phones? Also, as mentioned, network access via wifi. Am I missing something?

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Anyone try this yet? Would connecting an old phone with storage to serve as the destination for sentry/cam footage work? Additional benefit of accessing from the network via wifi is appealing.

    Window glitch scratched trim

    I know it’s not a huge deal but it really is increasingly annoying. This is the second time in as many months that I bring it in complaining about it. They are insisting it is within spec.

    Window glitch scratched trim

    Happy to report that Tesla Montreal did the right thing and changed my trim under warranty. I was skeptical after they said they would “try” pass it under warranty. I did provide the date and time of the incident, and it clearly wasn’t frozen so.. All in all, I’m glad it’s back to normal...

    NextMove explains cancellation of order for 100 Model 3s

    Some weird positions taken in this thread. You don’t have to be an expert to have an opinion on quality. For many people, myself included, many elements of the car are noticeably poor quality. What’s wrong with admitting the car you purchased is flawed? Doesn’t make it bad car.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Right, Montreal Service Centre rarely has loaners as well. They sent me a 400$ Uber voucher.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Was back at the service centre today. The click was already “looked” at previously. This time I was told the clicking is the differential and is normal. They said they would try to record the click to see if it’s within spec and log it for future reference. Have 850km on the car, picked it up in...

    Possible Misaligned Trunk/Issues Closing

    Mine sometimes doesn’t close. They’ve adjusted once already. Might of helped a bit but still tough to close. Have not felt the “push back” you describe however.

    Thanks. Yeah, I saw those postings. Summer is coming to an end, but it’s 26 C right now..

    Window glitch scratched trim

    Yesterday my rear passenger window glitched when opening/closing the door. Result was the window all the way up on the outside of the car - so on the silver trim. I noticed immediately and opened the door to correct but the damage had already been done. The trim is pretty scratched up (not sure...

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    So, they checked it and greased it, as seems to be standard. Still clicks for me. They absolutely know about an axel click though, the guy told me sometimes they just forget to grease during production. Very reassuring. If anyone has alternative theories, I'd love to hear em.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Thanks OP - Picked up my Model 3 on June 20th, 2019 and noticed a clicking from the back within days. As others have described, I hear it upon acceleration or release of the accelerator at low speeds. Thought it was a relay so this helps. Have an appointment with the service center today for...
