An Acura MDX smashed into the back side of my car and the car next to it. The car pulls into the next spot bumps one car then backs up, pulls forward, and smashes my car hard. The funny thing is the share number of witnesses who watch it happen and go about their day despite the loud Sentry Alarm going off in front of them as they watch or peek at the accident. One witness was in a car directly behind the car doing the damage, gladly takes the spot as the other car flees the scene.
I ran back to my car after getting the Sentry Alert and pulled the USB stick thinking I captured everything. By the time the police arrive and pull the video, we discover pretty everything there is to see, except the exact license plate number. The police require a full plate number to work off of. In the future, it's pretty key I think to have a plan in place if you have a Hit & Run on your Tesla. 1) Pull the USB as soon as possible, as their is a Recent as well as Sentry captures, I waited a few extra minutes 2) Get witnesses, if there are other Teslas around see if you can pull their Cam footage as well 3) Make sure to test your USB storage solutions before accidents with Sentry
in any case, here are the videos in case anyone is better than me at doing better image work on the license plates, most of the action is in the Back and Left cameras, the Right camera briefly captures it. The left camera appears to be corrupted, not sure how the video got corrupted so easily. I hit the camera button and waited a few secs before ejecting.
