In our recent travels someone backed into my almost new S Plaid. It didn't do a lot of damage, in fact I didn't even notice it until someone else pointed it out. Most of the damage is in the lower trunk right near the latch but it doesn't seem to adversely affect the operation of the trunk. That's also probably why I didn't notice it, as I almost always use the app. to open/close it. The only thing I did notice is one of the sensors in the rear bumper had come loose, but I didn't think much of it. At one point, I did get an alarm notification on the Tesla App. and we immediately went out and did a cursory look at the vehicle and didn't see anything.....probably my bad, because this is when the damage was done and I didn't notice it.
Anyway, I started "hunting" for the video of this incident on the thumb drive. I "accidentally" stumbled onto it once but most of the video was obscured by the contents file I had on the screen. It did show a truck hit it and the license plate was clearly visible. I quickly backed out of it and then the video was gone and I haven't been able to find it since. I pulled the thumb drive and put it on my computer and began the search again. I've narrowed down the date range, 21-24 March, but the drive has 5212 files on it and, IMO, the numbering system sucks, plus I am a technology idiot and don't know how to go about finding it again.
Does anyone know an EASY way to narrow the search and especially quick scan each video without having to watch each one in it's entirety? Any other shortcuts or easy ways to find it. Also, once found, I am guessing it's easy to copy to another drive and forward to the insurance company? Thanks for any help that you folks may have.
