Tesla Hate - I hope v9 Dashcam feature is always on

[teethdood]

I just came across this
Model 3 Owners Club on Twitter

Dashcam while driving alone won't stop this. I hope it's always on. Those who are healthcare providers know the fear - people with unreasonable expectations/outcomes.

WTF is wrong with people? How is a Model 3 threatening?

Not to be insensitive... but...

How is this automatically labeled "Tesla Hate"? I could see if, for example, the words "Tesla sucks" or similar were scratched in the paint - it could be considered "Tesla Hate". This, however, could be the work of an upset ex-spouse/mate, or just some bratty kids... Is it possibly just coincidence that it is scratched on a Tesla? Who knows...

Regardless... this is really sad, and I feel terribly for the owner of the M3!

@Brian's ReX Don't hurt the messenger I'm just relabelling what the original post said but you are right.

Sorry I couldn't see any tweet there maybe blocked by my company. Let me guess, with the dashcam always on, every Model 3 driver becomes law abiding citizen?

It has to support motion sensor, and saving to cloud and/or to local USB storage.

Funny many of the replies are about Tesla enabling the cameras like a dash cam.

Just go out and buy the dash cam?

I predict the next set of complaints -
- dash came does not upload all video to the app all the time for free.
- doesn’t save enough days of recordings
- motion detection is too sensitive/ not sensitive enough.
- camera resolution is to low
- it’s a safety feature, it should be free and Tesla should pay for the bandwidth.

yep i have a nice dual dashcam that's wired to always stay on... thinking about also getting the interior 360 degree cam as well...

I keep hearing that the front AP camera is monochrome. Either way, I'm happy with my always-on Blackvue. It even audibly tells you if it thinks the car was impacted during parking mode, which is usually the case when I'm washing it.

@Anzir is probably on point. Next complaint will be that the dashcam isn't in color...

the video it transmits to autopilot is in monochrome, but the cameras may be/or may be not capable of color recording.

I have seen similar incidents with Porsche's, BMW, and Ferraris. Some people can't handle looking in the mirror at the person to blame for what is wrong with their life.

From this post I believe its monochrome+red.

AP2.0 Cameras: Capabilities and Limitations?

So it can differentiate some color, but it's not going to do nearly as well as an RGB camera.

Everyone knows not to mess with Lex Luthor's dad. Big mistake.

Here in SF, that Blackvue itself would be the target of a break-in!
