Hi All,
Im after a bit of help.
1. I am about to purchase a device for sentry mode and i was wondering what peoples recommendations were. I have just seen USB Flash Drives for Tesla Dashcam | TeslaTap who recommend an adapter and SSD card. I was wondering if someone could please clarify why they recommend that as a USB drive looks to have better performance and less fiddly. Finally, what does each size correlate to? 64gb = X hours of video + Y stored ( I Imagine I will store quite a lot and clear this every few months). Please also provide recommendations for devices that you own.
2. I was also looking at ScanMyTesla and therefore a OBD connector. I am likely to get TeslaFi (Yes I will be looking for a referral) and i was wondering whether ScanMyTesla provides additional data to TeslaFi, especially battery and charging related data (Total used, total used to drive, total regen, battery degradation etc). Does TeslaFi just use the same data that ScanMyTesla would be using? if so it seems pointless having both, however if they do use different data then ScanMyTesla seems like a one off cost which id be interested in.
3. Finally I was looking for a 25m extension lead for 3 pin plug that would be suitable for charging in emergencies. Emergencies being when away from home and no public charging so irregular, but for extended periods when in use.
I have seen 13A weatherproof extension lead (compatible with all EVs) - 25m, in line RCD (Whats the difference between in line and plug/consequences if it goes wrong?) and 1.5mmsq. I have heard that although 1.5mm is ok, higher would be better but i'm struggling to find anything higher. I'd happily spend a bit more on something that will give me more peace of mind and possibly last longer anyway?
All help is much appreciated.
