    2022.20.18 a step back?

    Just installed 2022.20.18 and I am having a few new issues in FSD. Not sure if anyone else has these. The only one that is a big concern is #2. 1. While making an unprotected Left on a single lane it moves slightly right. I assume to get a better view (which it really didnt need) but it...

    Cabin Overheat Protection notification

    Got a few notifications that my cabin temp was high. One was 132 F with overheat protection on and set to use AC, in January. It was 40 F outside. After the last software update it never happened again. Do not recall which update fixed it but it was 2 updates ago for me. I just installed...

    dashcam and sentry mode is not showing front camera recording. What is problem?

    RayK +1 The front camera is selected therefore the smaller box labeled Front is transparent and the main screen is showing the Front view. Touch one of the other small boxes (Left, Right, Rear) and that will become the main screen and its box will be transparent and the box labeled "Front"...

    Why does window lock when verbally asking to open window 50%

    What is the exact phrase you are using? I was not aware the windows worked on Voice commands. I will have to try it. But if I was to guess before trying it I would say it hears the word "window" and assumes you mean "window lock". Many phrases work off single words. Like "Save" saves the...

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    Maybe..... But IMHO that is a long shot. Seems more like a camera design defect. They would need to drop frames while the blinker is on in AP to ignore the glare. And only do it on models with the defective cameras. Again IMHO that would lower the ability of Tesla Vision to see an object in...

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    The bigger question is how does it effect Tesla Vision when AP is on. AP sees the same thing you see.

    Parking Break Degraded, Window Won't Go Up, Trunk Won't Close

    I see you said slope driveway..... If its sloped in your favor then put it in tow mode and roll it to a better spot. If its not sloped in your favor then 3 or 4 strong friends and tow mode might do the trick. And I just watched this video so beware! I would make sure you know everything...

    Windows try to “close” after brake pedal is pressed.

    I just started noticing my rear window moving when I exit and close the drivers door. (2020 M3LR 2021.44.30.8). Nothing seems to happen with other windows when I enter. I was going to reboot and recalibrate the windows but I will have to pay close attention now and see if it could be the...

    Should I Sell My M3 MR

    Do you have a car you can drive while you wait for the MYP? I just went car shopping for my daughter and 1-2 year old ICE cars are selling for more than the MSRP of the 2022 model. If you have a car you can use SELL. Same for houses. If you have a second home SELL NOW!.

    Salvage title model 3

    From what I have read you probably have a parts car. The VIN is likely disabled in Tesla's computers so no supercharging or upgrades unless you can find a hack. To get the car back in service I have read that you need to get the car re certified by Tesla and that process is very expensive.

    Aftermarket Dashcam

    I removed the side panel covering the cabin filter access and drilled a 1/2" hole into the side of the center console where the side panel would cover it. I then routed my cable around the windshield down the pillar to the floor and behind the carpet and into the center console. I coiled the...

    Valet Mode and Walk Away Lock

    I guess the 5 minute rule is possible. The lot I use most often is slow and I am often unloading equipment so maybe the 5 minute rule kicked in. I guess the other option is they got in before I got far enough away for it to lock. Could just be lucky timing. Thank you for the info.

    Valet Mode and Walk Away Lock

    Since 2021.30 I started having issues with Valet Mode. Prior to 2021.30 my car (2020 M3LR) would not lock when I walked away if the car was in Valet Mode. Since 2021.30 the Valets have been chasing after me because the key gets locked in the car. I now have to leave the key under the wiper...

    USB Storage Full Question

    IMHO Only the high end Professional flash drives have built in wear leveling. Most stuff sold on eBay and Amazon does not appear to have the on board controlder. tesla had issues with flash memory in the MCUv1 early on. I recall seeing a YouTube video about the flash storage on the Tesla...

    USB Storage Full Question

    The Tesla sticks are formatted in exFat which is not a wear level OS format. So the stick will need to have a wear level controller. However most consumer level USB sticks do not have wear leveling in the hardware so you fall back to the OS. Although I cannot specifically speak for Tesla’s...

    USB Storage Full Question

    That description of a write cycle is just for ease of user understanding. Write the same sector of the stick 10,000 times and you will have reached the rated limit of that sector. As files are deleted for loop recording the space is marked for reuse. most operating systems use the first...

    USB Storage Full Question

    720p at 30 FPS isn’t that bad depending on the codec. but you have to consider there ar 4 cameras writing at the same time. Plus the writing that goes on to manage the loop recordings on each Camera. Each camera records about 25 mb per minute. That’s 100 mb per minute total or 6 GB per hour...

    USB Storage Full Question

    Most usb sticks are not made for the constant writing the dash cam does and they usually fail within a year or two. SSDs are made for the heavy amount of writing. There are usb sticks that can take the writing load but you need to check their specs. lots of cheap, counterfeit and fake sticks...

    Model 3 totaled! please advise

    Not completely true. The other drivers insurance company will pay up to the max policy. If they don’t have enough insurance to cover the damage your own insurance kicks back in. In my state the minimum policy is $30,000. So if the person who hits you has the minimum your policy covers the rest.

    60 new sentry events but no files on stick

    I have read reports of problems with the glove usb, try a USB-C adapter and move the stick to the center as a test. Also did you make sure you picked exFat when you formatted it in the Mac?

    I would suggest enabling pin to drive if you leave a card in the car.

    Sentry Mode stopped working (2021.4.12)

    Maybe first ask service to re-push the latest firmware. That has been reported to clear up strange things like your issue and doesn't require you to go to the service center or wait for mobile service.

    Sounds like Tesla needs to adjust the RSSI reading for a few iphone models then.

    Longer sentry retention?

    I do have honk to save set too. Last time I needed footage it was because of an accident in front of me. I got out checked on the other car, got back in and moved to the shoulder. I realized I just killed the video as I got to the shoulder. Luckily the driver at fault was obvious so...

    Phone Key range to big?

    There have been issues with Bluetooth security on both the iPhone and the Android. When I got my M3 in June 2020 everything was fine. In September 2020 AT&T sent an update to my Android and it would no longer open the car unless the phones display was awake. (the phone didnt have to be...

    Phone Key range to big?

    I do hate Apple products, but the iPhone 11 is popular right now so if its due to a stronger bluetooth chipset in the iphone, Tesla will likely adjust the RSSI rating for that iphone model in a future update.

    Longer sentry retention?

    I agree with EVRider-FL. Its deleted at the beginning of each drive which IMHO really sux because if something happens and you do not save immediately its gone. IE you get in an accident, get out and check the damage and then get back in to move to the shoulder, your video is gone unless you...

    Longer sentry retention?

    There is a performance limit on disk space usage. If you have more than ~200 GB of files stored on your drive the GUI will slow down considerably. I have a 1 TB SSD drive and as I crossed the 200 GB level of files the Viewer would take a very long time to open. I solved this by partitioning...

    The media tends not to care about personal beefs unless it contains something sensational. Boring accidents tend to be ignored. IMHO Best to take the high road unless it becomes your last resort.

    Model 3 2021.4.12 update bug

    I would probably call service and ask them if they can re-push the last update. And ask if a factory reset after is recommended. If you have corruption that should clean it out.
