I've never posted on any Tesla forum before and only a few times on any social media. I wrote it right after the accident and when I discovered Sentry Mode had failed. I was very upset about the accident and couldn't believe Sentry Mode had failed TEN MINUTES before that. It expressed my feelings exactly. I know what you mean, though, and didn't intend to be part of that stuff.
Thanks for replying, and its understandable you felt that way and posted as such if you posted right after the accident. This is one of the reasons I never press "SEND" on any digital communication when I am very angry. Email, text, Chat, etc. One of the anvantages of those mediums over direct contact (voice, video call, in person) is the fact they give us time to craft the message so that it says what we intend.
Anyway, thats not intended to be a lecture, just a discussion. My comment was more around the fact that, not just here but pretty much every forum I now visit, people in general post thread titles with sensationalist titles. Shortly before I read this thread, there was another one posted with the title:
TESLA GLASS: Corners were cut
Where content of this posters post was that they were upset that they have picked up some windshield chips in their tesla and didnt in other cars, so of course Tesla glass must be inferior. Nevermind the fact that the front windshield on a tesla is larger than most other cars... even SUVs. Also nevermind the fact that teslas are very good and pulling air up and around the car, so things that may have hit the hood on their other car likely are getting slipstreamed up to the windshield... or.. coincidence.
Anyway, I am fully aware that things like this suck, and are frustrating. What I tend to not understand so much is when people (in general OP, not directed at you), take what were FREE ADDITIONAL FEATURES that were not present when they bought the car, and then complain about them.
I certainly hope that if I ever need to use the dashcam footage (or sentry footage) it would be there if I needed it, but what I wouldnt do is blame tesla if for some reason it wasnt... maybe thats just me. If it was that important to me, I would buy and install a purpose built solution to the problem, and if that solution failed, I would then feel free to blame that solution.
