    Does TeslaCam work on previously HW2.0 MCU1, now upgraded to FSD?

    It works as long as the USB thumb drive is formatted on a computer, because the function in the Tesla will not format the thumb drive. Be sure to create a file on the thumb drive named "TeslaCam" or the car will not recognize the drive.

    I've been a model S owner for over five years (on my second one). The trade-in value of the first one was not great, but adequate. Over the years, the local service center has improved, but was pretty disorganized and impersonal for a couple years. Now the SC staff really try to WOW the...

    Homelink problem

    FWIW my homelink module had to be replaced because the receiver stopped picking up the signal from the garage door opener. If you are sure your receiver is detecting the signal, then it's a software problem. If rebooting both screens doesn't help, you will have to contact the service center.
