Sorry your baby got smashed, and hope you get a replacement soon. Very impressed with the videos, wish my S had cameras.

Thanks for explaining it. So, that's something the insurance companies would reimburse you for but it requires you file a claim for it?
is there a caméra to record what's happening on the front and on the back of the car?What did she say? Hopefully sorry and are you ok? I can see how the sign above your head and the sun contributed ... and also.... one more factor.... the tool bag that hit you.... my hope is Tesla gets the flashy strobe brake light thing going soon
Damn that sucks. Hope you're ok. Never knew that the airbags were pinkI got hit in the front end at 70 km/hr. It was $63,000 worth of damage to my X. Back in 43 days, and absolutely minty. You will be fine. View attachment 403024 View attachment 403024By the way, I was going 0 km/hr.View attachment 403030 View attachment 403032 View attachment 403032 View attachment 403034
Does the new Model 3 dashcam functionality work any better?You install dashcam(s) in your car. Any car, not just Tesla. AP2.5 (and possibly AP3) equipped Teslas have a dashcam functionality, but it's flaky like a lot of the Tesla software, so YMMV.
Would you elaborate on the 'showed her the video'? Presumably you hit the dashcam icon to persist the last 10 mins as an MP4 file on the flash drive. How were you able to show that to the perp? I had thought one would have to remove the usb flash drive, put it on a laptop/desktop and then, perhaps mail it to your phone so you could replay it there. Essentially it would take some modicum of post-processing. tnx.That is when she said it was hers, and I showed her the video for good measure.
Thanks. Yeah, I have the premium plan of Slacker Radio and what a difference it made over the Sound Quality of the basic that comes with the car. GroupOn had a deal for $11 for 6 months, I'm 46 and 80s is my music.
Yes, approaching the 51.
I don't know, check out the M3 section of TMC maybe. I suspect it isn't much better. The problems are a combination of Tesla software quality (dashcam functionality I bet is pretty low of QA list, with no long tests), the quality of USB drives (continuous recording requires higher end USB drives made for it), and the fact that the USB drive is used for other things at the same time (music streaming). A dedicated dashcam is usually tested much more thoroughly (e.g. I've had my BV running over a year recording 27/7 without rebooting, something I doubt Tesla dashcam could do).Does the new Model 3 dashcam functionality work any better?
My general thoughts have me thinking it's totaled as repairs would be many months, and it would never be the same.
Its an aftermarket dash cam called a black vue... you can see the info along the bottom edge of the videoWould you elaborate on the 'showed her the video'?

Yes, and even without that footage, except in rare cases, most every rear end accident is the fault of the person that ran into you.With footage you have nothing to worry about. She can make whatever claims she wants. I won't matter.
She did say sorry and admitted that it was 100% her fault. Also knew full well what Tesla's cost to repair. Then she got on the phone to her husband and was trying to get more information from her and she shut down and said would no longer answer questions. I advised her insurance company of her unwillingness to cooperate with me.

You are drinking too much of Elon's coolaid. Elon said the cars have sensors which are FSD capable , just like my P85D has 691hp capable motors, of course limited by battery and the rest of the drivetrain to 463hp (which took Tesla a couple of years to admit, while dancing around how EV horsepower is special, different). All of FSD cars are parts on them which are FSD capable, and they will remain forever capable and never doing even half of what he promised. My AP1 car was also supposed to find me anywhere on private property, while all it does and will ever do is drive up to 40 ft in a straight line while I hold a dead-man-switch making sure the car doesn't hit something. Welcome to Elon world - he sells a lot of vaporware which never materializes.
