Dashcam implementation is idiotic

[ChopinBlues]

a modern programming joke and nicer way to say something else but I kid

but seriously I read your post and you come off all high and mighty as a SW engineer and rubbed people the wrong way

some folks want to help out and yes you responded to attitude with attitude which I get and could be justified, but if you do some searches yourself to debug, it really isn’t hard to analyze that you either have a true hardware issue or really didn’t understand how this function works

I had an issue too when I swapped from USB key to ssd enclosure for the dashcam but I diagnosed that I had a faulty cable and also had to format in car to get it working

Ya know, at this point, I really don’t get it. I ask a simple honest question about a term I don’t understand, and I get a bunch of smart ass answers. What is going on here? Yes, I’ll admit, I chose a poor title for this thread. And yes, I was annoyed about the operation of the dashcam, and I’m still annoyed. And that’s not even the only issue I’m having. I owned a Model S for 8 years, and over the entirety of those 8 years, I had less issues with that Model S that I’ve had with this M3 inside of 2 weeks, so, ya, I think I have a right to be annoyed — this is a sixty thousand dollar car, not a Toyota Corolla. And I’m getting even more disappointed with this forum, which I’ve also had more issues with in 2 weeks that I have had in the almost EIGHT years I’ve been a member, which is more than most of you guys put together.

So how about we all set aside the bricks and pitchforks, and start over. Sorry about the title — it doesn’t reflect on you or your car. Maybe I just got a lemon, and need to hassle the guys at the Tesla service center, which is not all that far away, until they resolve my issues, or give me a new car.

OK, I have to ask: What's an "ID 10 T" error?

It’s similar to a PEBCAK error. Google is your friend.

This is pretty much a perfect storm: software geek vs car fanboy freaks. As each side takes great pride in its social ineptitude, this is not likely to end well. Kind of entertaining to watch in a train-wreck sort of way…I’m actually kind of surprised they haven’t started deleting your thread/posts yet, since that appears to be one of their favorite knee-jerk reactions. Good luck, Chopin!

Don’t sweat it

Back to topic, I’m sure it will be fixed somehow through trial and error to determine the true issue

Have you tried a new USB key yet? Sometimes USB keys are flakey and die prematurely. Also when you try a new usb, just reboot the car for good measure (do the typical IT support steps to rule out on your end, then let the techs know what you did)

like I said I couldn’t get my ssd to work for dashcam until I changed the crappy cable that came with it and had to format in car (button was gray which I thought was not clickable but it did click so that’s not a good UI decision IMO and I work with UI devs here and there)

Good luck
