If 8.0 ships tomorrow everyone's next Tesla payment is on me!

I'll be waiting for my check.

I have a quick question for the CAMERA experts amount us.

So I plan on posting a brief informal video of 8.0 as soon as it is released, just a first look. However, what can I do to remove or mitigate the flickering and lines from being captured when I film the 17 inch??

I have GoPro Hero 4 Black, Canon DSLR, and iPhone 6 (7+ is still preparing for shipment). What do you recommend that I use?

Thanks

You should be able to adjust the video recording frame rate on the SLR, try to tweak it up or down to be more consistent with the car's refresh rate. It should reduce your "flickering" without actually syncing the two devices.

So should I film on a lower film rate or higher?? What is the refresh rate on the Tesla screen?

If I had to guess, I'd go for lower.

I don't expect the Tesla screen to give 60fps or even 30fps, but what do I know?

I think that Elon saw this post and made it happen for us.

Or maybe you can tell your friend Mr. Pang that 8.0 is about to be released and that his Model X will be 3x safer now. Oh wait....

Hmm, in my first payment, I paid off my Model S in full. So in my next payment, it sounds like my Model X will be paid in full? Thanks! \ (•◡•) /

Most of the flickering is due to the way LCD screens handle lower brightness. Turn up the brightness to 100% and you might be fine.

Elon Musk says 'gradual' rollout of new Tesla Autopilot starts tonight

I think my money's safe...

I've PM'd you my PayPal and a copy of my statement. Thanks for the generosity!

I think you're being premature giving out payee information when 8.0 hasn't actually shipped. You should wait until at least a few minutes past midnight

OP says ships. Does everyone really think Tesla is moving away from OTA and shipping software updates via UPS?!

I work in the software industry and we always use the term "ship" for OTA updates of the devices that run our software.

OH Ok. Then sign me up. Decided to pay cash for my delivery next week.

Turn the screen to 100% brightness fixes it for my phone

Or wait at the docks for your ship to come in....

Play with it, but generally the lower the frame rate, the less flicker. Specifically, you want a longer shutter speed. I haven't had major issues filming the Tesla displays with a GoPro or iPhone.

If you shoot at 24 or 30fps (which is typically 1/48 and 1/60th a second shutter), you'll be fine. If you try high frame rates, like 60fps or above, there will be a lot of flicker.

I'm posting now, just for the eventual retro-active caveat of "you had to post before 8.0 was released". I'll PM loan payment amount and PayPal info later

Although there's still a possibility 8.0 won't actually ship by midnight PDT today, I wouldn't suggest getting one's hopes up on collecting even if it does ship, as this may well end up being a Bertel Schmitt wager.

Is that "our" bonnie referenced in that article?

This is awesome, I get my car and I don't have to pay for the first month's payment? I'm in!
