Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I find the dashcam/sentry mode to be very hit and miss..

It will randomly stop writing to the card and not inform you... its only when you go to save a file, or view sentry events, or just simply check that the little red dot is on indicating its recording that you realise you are driving around with no dashcam...

I use a Sandisk High Endurance microSD card in a card reader, so it's not like I've cheeped out on the storage medium...

I would love a pop up warning message to say that dashcam is not recording (for whatever reason) when the feature is turned on in the security menu.

In retrospect I should have done that… I’ve already deleted the unavailable footage as there doesn’t seem to be any visible damage on the car anyway.

I think the lights flashing on sentry mode is complete overkill and draws unnecessary attention to the car.

If the alarm is triggered, 100% flash lights and do whatever...but for someone walking by in a car park it flashes them

Usually the investigate WTF is going on, see the recording screen and move on....or take offence!

Got an upgrade today to 2021.24.5 but nothing new in the Release Notes. And it was pretty small as it dowloaded during the drive to school.

I got it 2days ago, have you checked the play store to see if it's available?

Every day!!

Usually they will have a few unallocated cars for SR+ and LR when cars are shipped out. Performances are more scarce here though.

It’s an upgrade for the LR only….. has been there for a good while now, just only recently appeared on the app for Irish owners…. Previously you had to contact them to get it added.

makes sense to just get the LR now with acceleration boost and have P like performance for a few grand less….

I'm more of a normal user who would not really appreciate the 0.5s difference anyway. But it is good to know one can have the option should they really need it. I'd be interested in enhanced autopilot to do lane changes on motorway. I got quite used with autopilot on lung runs and even on M50 but unfortunately lot of drivers on 85-95 km/h on middle lane with no real reason. (most cars over reporting the speed but still) If I overtake, autopilot disengage which is a bit annoying. The rest like summon would be just for fun.

Autosteer you're right. The speed control remains but is still annoying. It is expensive alright but so is 3.7k for a promise that the car would stop someday at traffic lights. This is the reason I don't have it I can't reason myself to buy it.

It does stop at red lights, but stops at green ones too, not sure if that’s AP or FSD.

if they told me FSD would never do more than it does now, I’d probably ask for money back, but there is always the promise of ‘coming soon’

the overtake is good and hopefully one day you won’t have to initiate the manoeuvre in Europe, it does initiate and turn for motorway exits , which is a tease.

I think I’m more interested in vision only self park, if it’s any better

EAP/FSD drive subscriptions are not yet available on this side of the pond, but hopefully soon...

I'll give it a try for a month that I'll have a few trips planned, to see how it works...

you can put in the car type, weather etc and will give you a good idea of how a trip you might do would work out.
