Well, shoot. I wish I'd known this info before I bought a 1TB MicroSD, designed for performance (as opposed to write endurance). I thought it would only start overwriting old video once the consumed storage space reached a certain threshold or something. I didn't know it was hard-set to only retain 1 hour of footage. That should be configurable, IMO.
No I was just adding to your response to the poster saying it wasn't a good idea in his opinion.
Reading data does not induce any wear on the SD card. Only writing data causes wear. Durability is purely determined by the card itself, not the USB adapter.
I think with a large enough drive/card, it should be perfectly fine to use the same drive/card for both security/dashcam footage, as well as music, movies, and other media.
I should have pulled the trigger a week earlier. I ordered mine on 5/3, wont get the charger, and my EDD is now 8/25 - 10/6Hello fellow M3 (soon to be) owners! I'm so glad I found this forum. It's been extremely helpful and a great way to learn more about my car while waiting for delivery. I've wanted an EV for years but just wasn't ready to pull the trigger since my old car was paid off and basically cost me nothing besides gas and insurance. Now that it has an oil leak I decided to use the money it would take to fix it as a down payment for a car that's guaranteed to never have that type of problem!
Btw I went with blue bc I like how it looks and it moved up the delivery time by a month, 18" wheels since the roads where I live are horrible and low profile tires get ruined quick, and I plan to get acceleration boost the second I pick the car up assuming it's available. I also ordered the Tesla wall charger with an electrician coming tomorrow to install it ($1400). I'm waiting to get my delivery date and then have about 2k worth of accesories I want to get, mud flaps, window tinting, PPF, mats, etc. It looks like I lucked out on the mobile charger since 4/28 is the cutoff date and I ordered my M3 on 4/25!
I like how everyone posts their order and delivery information here since it gives me a better idea of how the process works. So here's my info! I hope I did it right this time. The last one I posted I accidentally put in the MY forum and it got deleted and I really don't want to type this up a third time
M3LR | 18" Aero | Blue Ext | Black Int | No FSD
OD: 4/25 | EDD1: 8/23-10/18 | EDD2: 7/3-8/7 | EDD3: 7/11-8/22
They told me that my car doesn't have something installed for insurance. Was yours the same?
Ordered mine on 3/5 and EDD of May 20 - jun 17. Might ours the same time.
If that was true once, it is true no longer. The USB-C ports in the front of the center console can also be used like the glove box port (dashcam, music, charging). The rear seat ports are still only for charging.
Looks like I am in the same boat. Only I'm floating in Oregon.....
I too got a text this morning. I also have the exact same delivery window you have! Hopefully we get a VIN soon.
This is the pattern for many early March orders, especially around this date including myself. I've been trying to piece together possible reasons why
