    Dashcam functionality poor design

    It didn't even cross my mind to suggest streaming to your computer all the time, only when you need it. Maybe even not to stream but download

    Dashcam functionality poor design

    The thing about saving videos is not to lose what happened recently when you realize that you need it. It could happen a few hours or days later and will be too late to recover this video. It is already recorded, just the idea that you have to save something that could be deleted automatically...

    Dashcam functionality poor design

    I love the idea that everything that happens to my car when driven or parked is recorded. However, everything related to the dashcam suggests that it is a foster child in the Tesla development process: the way how you prepare a memory flash (root folder with capitalized letters) and lack of...

    Can't download update via tethering

    It doesn't, I am quite sure. So it is not Tesla, it is not AT&T. I use a standard latest IOS on my iPhone

    Can't download update via tethering

    Thanks to everyone. It is weird, I definitely gave enough time, much more than 20 minutes and there were no indications that it was making any progress. Actually, I lied, I have AT&T as a cellular service provider (Comcast is my cable). Any idea of how to detect whether AT&T blocks ports

    Can't download update via tethering

    My townhome in Chicago is part of a building with 20 similar townhouses with my garage far enough from my apartment that the WIFI signal is not reachable. Neither Tesla is capable of connecting to Xfinity free Wifi. Fortunately, we have a very fast Comcast cellular coverage here, it quite...

    Charging Tesla from a dryer outlet

    Thanks to everyone. Your information really helps. The extension I had in mind: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TCCFFZQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A15AM8MHT45F3Q&psc=1. Is this the right one?

    Charging Tesla from a dryer outlet

    I plan a trip to the north part of Wisconsin where Tesla Superchargers are rare. I rent an Airbnb house and wanted to inquire the owner whether it is possible to charge from the house dryer outlet. To extend the reach I planned to buy a 50' extension. Before doing this I wanted to check: 1) is...

    Dashcam produces spotty recording

    Agree, but it is something so minor (cameras are there, they stream data that Tesla analyzes, just to store it seems to be not such a complex task) and so obviously beneficial for Tesla to claim yet another advantage that it should be a no brainer to make it right.

    Dashcam produces spotty recording

    I have installed a flash drive several months ago and it is always up according to the icon on the screen. However, when I looked at actual recordings, they were of good quality but completely random, only a few and sometimes a few minutes of the actual ride. Yesterday I also noticed a warning...

    Model 3 trunk lid replacement

    So, you think it is reasonable. It looks like blending is half of the price. There is a gap between a trunk and fenders, I thought that it is sufficient to make the difference not visible. But I really have no idea

    Model 3 trunk lid replacement

    Paint is damaged and unfortunately, a dent is quite deep. I don't think it is possible to properly fix it without replacementenment

    Model 3 trunk lid replacement

    What would be a fair price for Model 3 trunk lid replacement? It has 2 dents right in the middle and no damage anywhere else. It looks like the replacement is the only option. I talked to a body shop and they plan not only to replace and paint but also do color blending on both sides close to...

    Need an opinion: AWD or Full Self-Driving Capability

    As far as I am concerned the answer is simple: AWD. Autopilot is working for the most cases I care about. FSD is at this point quite ephemeral anyway. I called Tesla customer support and they honestly tell me: 1) there is no timeline when it will be available (there should be legal issues...

    Slow charging at superchargers

    No Volvo affiliation, just happened that my first name starts with 'I' and last name with 'Volvo' :) What is an energy app?

    Slow charging at superchargers

    Thanks, @Rocky_H, it is extremely useful. I agree (or accept rather) all you've said except this battery display thing. EPA ratings are theoretically useful and should be published on paper. In a car, you need to see information that helps you to decide what to do. Why not delegate this tedious...

    Slow charging at superchargers

    You may be right: fears of a novice. Thanks for the information. I already learned here more than in any Tesla official postings and personal discussions with their employees (although I talked to technicians, not salespeople). Maybe you also know where I could see and discuss UI related...

    Slow charging at superchargers

    Are there any indications about battery conditions to receive charge? or you should rely on your experience and see it for yourself at a charging station?

    Thanks, would charge now on arrival after a long trip

    Slow charging at superchargers

    Thanks, this is interesting and none was given to me at the dealership when I came with these questions. Good to know about after long drive faster charging. BTW, I drove about 20 minutes before charging, I thought that it is enough for everything to warm up. > The range shown on your battery...

    How to submit UI improvement suggestions

    After a month of driving, I have a list of suggestions for Model 3 UI improvements. Is there a good place to submit them that Tesla UI specialists actually read, discuss, provide opinions. This is the best way to improve the quality AFAIK

    Dashcam

    Dashcam is barely usable. Besides these meaningless requirements to have a directory in the root (case sensitive for god's sake); the software also writes a file per minute, instead of creating large files, doesn't use the full drive capacity etc. This is clearly an experimental feature written...

    Slow charging at superchargers

    I have a Tesla Mode 3 long range 4WD for a little over a month and charged it primarily in the garage and didn't have any problems. However, all my experiences charging at superchargers (3 times so far) revealed a slower than expected rate: no more than 40KwH which makes Tesla a barely usable...
