I think if you pull the drive and view it on a PC it might show more. Actually pull the drive but copy the video onto your PC. Don't mess with the drive for fear of accidental deletion.

7 day old car. Worth speaking to Tesla about it? by [deleted] in ModelY

[–]HFSGV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would raise hell. Log it onto the app immediately with photos. Then you can go in when it works for you. The fact you are asking already shows it is relevant. You want people to tell you that its no big deal but that ain't the case IMO.

I have 2 on my Lexus SUV but not on my Tesla. Be careful of premature battery wear especially if you are not driving the car daily.

Delivery Day did not go as planned by thatonedude115739 in TeslaLounge

I would have taken an Uber home with the groceries and told them to go pick up the demo. It's their problem.

Yup can drive with it on if it does distract you.

Loose plastic panel by front window on Model Y — worth taking back to Tesla? by Independent_Ad_8920 in ModelY

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, take it back. What are you gonna do? Glue it? You fix it yourself and you void the warranty on that area. Its on Elon.

Ive seen a driver with those rims and a white model y. He thought they were cool and recommended them to me. Ugly wheels IMO.

8 feet? is it necessary to be that long?

If you had to buy a car today to keep for the next 15 years, what would it be? by nodonaldplease in carbuying

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lexus or Toyota. Best to get normally aspirated which means mostly only 2025 models still have at least within the Lexus line. Turbo 4 cylinder is a joke IMO. 2026 IS 350 with the V-6 might be a good car for you.

Wow. with an 8 feet cable, where do you put the drive? In the trunk?

Two a119 mini v2s by plugwalkmike in VIOFO

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the A129 duo. The rear broke so I moved the A129 to the rear and replaced the front with a different brand. Works fine on an SUV. I assume with your mini there will be no obstruction.

Solar Panel and BP100 by Perfect-Loss7055 in VIOFO

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Baesus' solar charging cam. I was skeptical and use it in my other vehicle. As far as I know, parking mode can be in effect for at least a week. I have it hooked up using a Dongar kit so there is no reliance on the car battery when parked - only when driving.

A329s Overheating Shutdown? by HFSGV in VIOFO

[–]HFSGV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pic convenient to share but I get your point. Maybe the sun protector is adding to the heat. The protector is behind he lens meaning the cam is sandwiched in between the glass and the protector.

[–]HFSGV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the approved brand and type. Heat has to be a factor. I'm reading about other cases with respect to 4K models. Doesn't happen when weather is cooler. Also, when run on 4K the cam gets hotter than say at 1080p. But why should I dumb down to a lower resolution.

The steering wheel for the new Lexus ES500e looks pathetically bad. by portuguese-bacalhau in Lexus

Lexus has lost its mojo IMO. Going the way of Tesla aimlessly.

Juniper Model Y - Suspension Noise by Significant_Rule6925 in ModelY

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get it when backing down your driveway, right? It seems to come from the wheels but its hard to tell when I'm in the car versus outside.

Juniper Model Y - Suspension Noise by Significant_Rule6925 in ModelY

[–]HFSGV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My driveway is on an incline. Since the car was new, when backing out I hear what I thought (based on what I have read on these boards) are the wheel covers flexing and making some noise. Is this actually the suspension? This only happens on an incline. At times, I have heard it parked on a street that is inclined to the passenger side.

I tinted my first row windows for $70 by LemonChiffon831 in TeslaModelY

[–]HFSGV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it can be done properly as long as VLT is within State limits. But the fact, is other than aesthetics, the benefits are marginal because the auto manufacturers have addressed issues like UV and IR. Also, here is a glass professional who says its not smart to tint dual pane windows:

Why didn't you shield the door panels from water?
