Teslacam Stories is a series of Tesla owners' real experiences told by the Tesla Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos. All incidents are recorded from Tesla vehicles and submitted to this channel by other Tesla enthusiasts. I contact each person who sends me their videos to talk with them and learn more about their story and to follow up on what happened after what we see on their video. Voice-over and captions are added to describe what happened, and why. I believe that this additional information regarding the incident gives the videos a newsworthy value.
From the footage and additional information, a viewer can learn the consequences of bad driving and can educate his/her self with better driving safety. This process also gives the videos a great educational value. It is my desire to add my own unique and creative value in a transformative way to ensure you enjoy and learn from the videos being presented.

So apparently, you were supposed to do The Tunnel Test in daylight... Well, that makes sense now that I think of it! haha! But hey, here we have it - the world's first INVERTED tunnel test. I bet everyone will test their cameras this way from now on. And now you can't complain about it since I commented about it first.

I´m sorry but the point clearly goes to the Dashcam in that regard... you can see that the Image from the Dashcam stays clear and no taillights go up and down from the Truck... the Teslacam goes really bad and is not staying sharp... and when the car goes into the Tunnel the Teslacam goes more Yellow/Darker for a few Seconds.
If you compare it Side by Side the Dascam Footage is clearer and sharper in my Opinion.
It is a great addition if you dont own one... i plan to get one in December or January myself
Just a quick note if you want to have GPS enabled and you got a heated front Windshield you HAVE to put that Cam in the dotted Area around the rearview Mirror otherwise it will not work.
I’m too young to drive ._.
👀
For the high-speed test, what they are talking about is if you get on the freeway and maybe go over the speed limit a little bit and then try to freeze frame the footage to capture things that you would want to see like street signs and license plates. Follow up video? You could include a daylight tunnel segment.... 😂
👍👍
Tesla loses on optics but wins on convenience!
Tesla gets the license plate number because of their narrow angle lens and distance focus.
tesla has the most powerful optics. it includes a long range camera that can see up to 200m, a standard lens, and a ultra wide angle lens. so optics definitely go for tesla. talk about a dashcam that can do that. Where tesla seemed to lack (fixed in hardware 4) is color. Image brightness was more important so tesla used a RCCB image sensor. it cannot perceive green but did better towards image brightness as there were no filters to reduce incoming light. Autopilot didn't really care, may have been in fact happier of the brighter low light images.
@@thegameblend Some of the Viofo latest dashcam, such as the a119 mini 2, a139 pro and a229 pro, use the Sony Starvis 2 Sensor which only came out in 2023 April. For those who do not know, dashcam has 3 major components that matter: sensor, cpu and firmware. CPU deal with image processing speed and firmware the functionality, but the sensor is the most important part. Tesla cam is 1280 x 980 resolutions at 30 frames per second while Starvis 2 sensor can go 4k 60fps or 2k 120fps. If you see it in this clip that the quality of the front cam is not too far off, it is because Waam Baam has put the 4k video side by side with the 720p video. If he put the 2 videos side by side and pixel to pixel, you will see the Viofo camera have so much more details and most of the time a clear plate number. Viofo also has HDR mode which makes low light image capturing a lot better and the high frame rate makes capturing the plate of a high speed car (cars going in the opposite direction, thus high relative velocity) so much better.
I think that was using HW3. The newer hardware 4 cameras are better. I have three and my sister has 4. Her cameras are clearly better.
Not very convenient to not record audio
What a nice video, it'd be cool too see more of this type of stuff on here along with the normal Wham Baam content since there isn't a whole lot of well put together Dashcam comparisons/reviews. My old '98 Chevy Tahoe might be losing it's paint but even then, not having to worry about liability is too much of a bonus not to get a good cam!
My husband and I drive matching yellow Fords. His is a Mustang, mine is a Focus ST. We are about to start drag racing, and we go on lots of road trips with them and always talk about getting dash cams, not only for safety/incident reporting, but also to load content on our new RUclips page we will be starting soon. Thank you for all of your channels! We love them!!!
You missed a few very important features. 1. How far away do license plates read clearly in daytime and night? 2. Tesla has sentry mode that seems to have no drain on the battery. I know VIOFO has a similar parking mode, but it has to be hard wired to the car's electrical system. I have 2 cars ( Kia Sorento, Infiniti QX80 ) with 4 VIOFOs in each one, facing front, rear, left and right. All the angles are covered. Great camera, highly recommended. Upgraded optics would be awesome! 🙂
pretty much any dashcam you can just get a power cord that literally just plugs into your fuse box for when the car is off and on. I have been doing it for years across multiple cars and cameras.
??? Sentry mode has a lot of d drain on the battery
Number 1 was definitely a surprise to me to not be covered.
Number 2: Telsa wins for convenience. However, My own vehicle with the parking sentry enabled on a dual cam system can easily last 3 or 4 days and still leave enough power to start the vehicle. Thankfully, hardwire kits generally have a shutdown point that, in theory, leaves enough juice to still start the car. I would recommend using an AGM battery in your vehicle if it's going to sit more than a day on a regular basis without being started, as flooded (normal) lead acid batteries hate being discharged much, especially often. Keep in mind that Tesla has a MASSIVE battery to draw from though, so not really a fair comparison.
I drive a Dodge Ram and am reminded how much I need to get a dashcam every time we watch your videos. We put a A119 in our teenage son’s Nissan Armada and it has given us a little piece of mind with him around crazy drivers. Thank you for all the work you put into your channels, we love them!
I actually own & operate a Viofo A129 in both my 2016 Tesla Model X, as well as my 2016 Toyota Tacoma.
The new A229 Pro model has some nice upgrades to it that I'd love to have in mine.
One of the German dashcam channels released a test of the A229pro today or yesterday. He noted, if you leave out the interior camera, the bit rate of the main cam raises from 36 to 59 MBit/s. This causes a marked jump in clarity of the recorded image, especially in scenes with lots of fine moving details, e.g. with lots of leaves on trees.
Edit: I checked, he released 3 hours ago... 8-)
Oh really??
Thanks for that. I didn’t want an interior cam anyway. More clarity, more reason to buy.
@@WhamBaamTeslacam yes, because the chip is less busy with rendering the the two videos than three at the same time. The Channel is called „Eure Videos Fahrnünftig“
Greetings!
@@infinite_simulation668 Exactly. This is 10000% the problem with 'high res' dash cameras... they try to do everything on ONE CHIP which halves (or worse) the resolution and framerate. NO company out there (yet) offers any dash cameras where each satellite camera has its own processing chip and associated hardware to allow them to capture at the same rate and resolution as the primary camera.
Some of the limitation is is also just bandwidth available to write to the SD card. If you have say, 35MB/s of bandwidth, you have to share that with ALL video streams. So in order to keep within that bandwidth limit, you might have say: 4K on one cam at 35MB/s; or 2K on two cams at 17 MB/s each; or 2K on one cam at 17MB/s, one on 1080p at 12MB/s, and one on 720p at 6 MB/s. Of course, framerate will also change to accomplish this. These numbers aren't meant to be realistic, they're just for comparison.
I drive a Tesla but keep thinking of getting a dedicated dashcam, really liked the Viofo A119 I used in my last car.
one critical feature is the ability to real license plates - I have seen so many times on this channel when the plates are illegible to TeslaCam.
I will admit that the multiple angles and the built in function on the Tesla are better than nothing but comparing older generation of hardware against newer dashcams is night and day. I would like to see the current HW compared to the current dashcam for an oranges to oranges comparison. And once again - license plat reading is a must.
You would need to add this test during the day and during the night to give a real result - I forgot the site name but they did a slew of tests and published the results - like this one they were not paid by any of the manufacturers, but they did have affiliate links so if you purchased thru them they got something.
Love the video. Thank you for the comparison and it definitely was nice to see the differences. I totally feel like the difference was definitely clear with the dash cam instead of the Tesla. We have a 2016 Mercedes metris and a 2023 Hyundai Kona electric. Would love to get a dashcam but haven't gotten one yet
I drive a Model Y but also use a Viofo A139 Pro (Front cam only) for 4K video and sound. It also has a "WiFi Station" mode which connects it to my home WiFI. This lets me copy the video files directly to my computer without having to remove the SD card. Super handy!
Having such crisp video off a dashcam is a massive plus!
Even though I already have a dashcam in my 2012 Honda Civic (I was featured in a video here a few months back!), its unfortunately not the greatest quality.
Its WiFi transfer ability sucks as well, as the app recommended doesn't work well with Android phones, so I always have to pull the MicroSD card if I want to share video.
Good luck to everyone who enters the raffle!
I have a 2012 Buick Enclave, and a 1998 Buick Riviera. Also, in storage, a 1978 Buick Regal Turbo Coupe. Love this channel!
Very educational, thank you. My son drives a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire. We enjoy watching your videos.
I drive a 2010 Smart ForTwo. I have a very old camera. Something is better than nothing. Love watching your videos. Thank you for reading the comments to us. That makes it so much better.
Really enjoyed this video and would like to see more of these. There really is not a lot of side by side comparisons out there of the hundreds of dashcams out there. I know it took me well over a month before deciding on which one to get for one of my cars. Your channel inspired me to get a dash cam. I still have to install it though, but I live in a "no fault" state. We have a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, 2016 Chevy equinox and a 2001 Nissan Sentra. Would be sweet to be entered in for that drawing. Love your videos and am 100% satisfied on all 3 channels. 👍 Would be curious to see how dashcams work with snow.
We love this channel and the other wham baam ones. Watch every time they come out with the family.
We have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2020 and haven’t bought a dashcam yet. Here we are crossing our fingers. Oh and we love the commentary, dad jokes/comments are the best.
I have a 2018 rav4. The Viofo camera can also help when it comes to getting a license plate. Since the camera is clearer, it can visually record the plate but if not, you or a passenger can read aloud the plate since the camera has audio recording in case you forget the plate number later on.
I love the side-by-side comparison. The Wham Baam channels are the best cam videos on RUclips. They're the only ones which feel so expertly edited with catchy music, great narration, and amusing jingles. Keep it up!
My hubby always sets the cruise in his 2018 Mazda CX-9 to the speed limit, so we see a lot of antics from drivers who don't appreciate a restraint of the zoom-zoom. Alas, we haven't yet decided on a dashcam to capture the astonishing feats of stupidity. The A229 PRO might have just won the race.
I drive a 2015 Chrystler Town and Country van and I currently have no dash cam. After I've had numerous close calls, I started looking for a dash cam. After seeing this video, I like what your showing on this video and I might get one this January. Keep up the good work. I'm subscribed to 3 out of 5 channels you have.
Definitely a great comparison video. I've been thinking about getting a Viofo A119 for my 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited, so winning this one would be a great step in the right direction.
Great video. I drive a 2017 Ford Fusion. I installed a dashcam after I started watching Wham Baam and saw how important it was to have one. Keep up the great work.
Not having to wire the thing yourself is a point for Tesla, of course. I bought my Podofo (uses the same chipset as the A119) front and rear dashcam before I bought my Ford Escape a year and a half ago and I still haven't decided where I'm going to route the wiring to the rear camera. Through the headliner? Under the carpet? I don't know yet. I'm missing all those Wham Bam submissions, I see them every day!
That was the dash cam I used in my 18 Explorer Sport. Made a ton of content with it across ALL of my social media accounts. This new A229 Pro will be my next one for sure.
I drive 2008 Honda Odyssey. And I love You're youtube channels watch him every week
I drive a model 3 but just passed my CDL and have been searching for something I can use for work. Great compare/contrast video
I really like watching these videos! They’re very entertaining. I drive a 2013 Chevy Malibu LT. I just subscribed to this channel and the Tesla channel.
nice review - I happen to drive a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. I really enjoy watching your videos and thank you for sharing them.
Love your channels. Currently driving a 2016 Ford edge..
I was surprised the resolution that dashcam recorded and honda civic 2020. Thank you for great review
One thing that should be noted on the Viofo is you have the option to spend like 20 more bucks for a bluetooth capture button for it that you can put wherever the eff you want. Lot more ergonomic (not to mention more safe and less distracting) than fumbling with the physically identical buttons on the cam.
I put mine in my vintage car's change tray where my phone lived before I could finally afford a holder, lol.
While nice to have, especially for just catching those jackasses to pull off later, it's not totally necessary. I just make sure the G-Sensor is enabled on my cam. In the event of something serious happening, it'll autosave the footage without any user interaction. Even a hard brake event will trigger it. It's not uncommon for many cams to also prompt you to reformat the SD card ever so often, and the purpose of that is to clear out any unwanted secured footage.
2015 Jeep Wrangler JK. Love your videos and use them to learn what to watch out for on the road
Thanks for the review and the great videos! I drive a 2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400
Thanks for the video. I got the Viofo dash cam for my daughter’s Elantra and I have a different one for my Toyota FJ as well. Got both because of this channel. Need one for my husband’s challenger still.
I drive a 2009 Honda Civic to UC Davis for both work at the Bohart Museum and for classes 5 days a week. I’ve been meaning to get a dashcam because of this channel. With the crazy drivers I see every week, I bet I’d get some juicy footage to submit!
Awesome video! I have a Roav in my Ram, but nothing in my Subaru Forester yet. Looks like this would be a good one to install!
I drive a 2003 Pontiac Vibe
I've been thinking of getting a dash cam and this one looks GREAT!!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!
I have a 2012 Ford Escape and a 2006 Lincoln MRK LT. Love all 3 of your channels!!
love the videos and been planning to get a dash cam for are family cars, once seen how helpful they are in helping the police solve stuff. kia Sorento
Great review. I have been searching for a good dashcam for my Audi S5. The picture quality is definitely a plus in the A229.
I drive a 2019 kia sorento. I enjoy watching these videos. Reminder i thin new 2023 model y has newer or updated cameras. Not sure what year make or model you tested. Great videos.
I drive a 2017 chevy equinox, watching your video really makes me want to get a dashcam as me and my family travel alot but i never know what to get. Now I'm very interesting in this dash cam
That looks like a great camera! I just bought a Chevy Volt (electric and high gas mileage all the way!) and my old dashcam was integrated into the previous' panels like you mentioned, so I sold it as a feature. But now I'm left without a camera, I feel so exposed!
Thanks for doing the review. I've been on the market for a new dashcam. I currently drive a 2016 Nissan Altima
I drive a Tesla model Y and have always appreciated the cameras. I too have thought about getting a dash cam for more dedicated filming and the option of having audio recording. Keep the Wham Baams coming.
Love the videos and the safety tips.. I drive a kia Stinger!!
Great video that helped me make a choice for a dashcam.i drive a 2015 Chrysler 300S.
I drive a 2018 Camry and need to get a wham beam teslacam !!! I love your videos and your videos are amazing and can’t stop watching them !!!!
I drive a bmw 745 li. Been wanting to get a dash cam for this car for a while now. Love seeing your videos every week
I drive the old Toyota Siena Minivan my family has had since I was a baby. Love old’Bessy to bits but DANG are there some crazy drivers out there. The only way to fully protect yourself is to have some type of video now a days. I’ve been looking for a dash cam and this video really helped me.
I don't personally own a car, but my Mum is currently driving a 2001 Nissan Patrol.
I got her a dashcam recently, too. Not a Viofo, unfortunately; it's just a cheap unit that I found on special-buy sale at my local supermarket.
I still consider it money well spent, though.
Great episode. Keep making these reviews. BTW I ride a Kia Cerato.
I installed a dashcam in my 2016 Honda Accord Coupe a few years ago, partly thanks to this channel. Unfortunately that car got totalled a few months ago, and while the dashcam footage wasn't needed, it was comforting to know I had it just in case.
Love the video my parents currently drive a Skoda Octavia and we are from the UK.
I've been using the A129 Plus Duo in each of our vehicles and it's very good. You can often get it on sale. I think I paid around 130-140 each.
I have Mazda CX9 and just got a VIOFO A119. Can't wait to upload my first video to Wham Bam!
"I drive a 2011 Honda Odyssey, so it definitely needs some good and updated technology for sure. Ever since I started watching your channels, I've been wanting to get myself a dashcam. Thank you for the information and for doing a nice comparative test for us. Keep up the great work."
Thanks for your fabulous Wham Baam channels💜. And thanks for reviewing the A229 PRO. We’ll be getting one for our new Buick Envision when the time is right.
I drive a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Triple White biaritz and would love this for it! Been watching you for 2 years now!
This was a pretty cool test, good job. I drive a 2006 Navigator & 2011 Mercedes E350
I drive a Mercedes EQB 300 4matic and as it does not offer to use the built in camera as a dashcam i definitely have a use for this A229pro in my car. Thank you for an awesome channel.
I have a 2 camera dashcam setup in my 2012 Accord. It isn’t the brand you recommended and I have to remove a mini SD card to download the footage. It would be interesting to see the features and the user interface of the system you recommend.
Great comparison. I would like to see you do a comparison with Falcon Eye. That's one that most truckers use.
Love your content! Just picked up my new Model Y Performance in Denmark! Since Giga Berlin are yet to produce Model Y with HW4 cams, I would love to have this dashcam for extra safety and security! ❤
Loving the review! 2017 Toyota Corolla here.
Love watching all your channels. I drive a Ford Expedition. Would love to have a dash cam but not able to get one at the moment.
I drive a 2017 Nissan rogue and have a real bad backup camera. I have been searching for a dash cam for a while and don’t know what to get. I value your honest opinion and get one for my car.
I love this video and I watch any new videos that come out and I think these videos have helped me become a safer driver overall. Anyway I Drive a 2017 Ford escape titanium
I drive a 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro.
I am an Active Duty Marine and My daily commute round trip is 110 miles. I used to use an old GoPro as my dash am but it recently stopped retaining a charge so I’m definitely in need of a new one, especially with winter rolling in. My commute is in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Great video with the side by side comparisons with the Tesla cams. My son drives a Subaru Forester and just removed the cheap dash cam in favor of a carplay device (without a dash cam) so he could more easily navigate. It would be nice to have a quality dash cam for my son's vehicle.
Great video and love your content. I drive a Honda odyssey braunability xi and would love to install a 229 in it!
Awesome review! I drive a 2019 Mazda CX-5.
2021 Honda Insider, just recently got my license, now I need a dash cam.
Drive a 2010 RX-8 R3. Sparkling Black with gray powder coated rims. No camera's yet. But the Kenwood headunit i have installed does support a direct plugin dashcam which is the DRV-N520. Which is pretty nice.
I have a 2013 Ford Escape and would love a Dashcam for it. Thanks for doing this.
2020 Ford Edge, Awesome Video keep up the good work! 😊
Love your channels. Maybe someday a Teslacam but until then I would love to put that Viofo A229 in my little 2015 Ford Fiesta Titanium.
I have two cars with much older Viofo dash cams in them. I got them before 2 channel cams were common, so I have separate cameras aimed for and aft. Not good for coordinating front and rear vids, but, at least, I have them. The cams are nearly six years old. And still going. I tried a Rexing dash cam, but it barely made two years in my Pajero. My Pajero now has the Viofo 129 2 channel in it. Going well after three months.
I have a RAM 1500, Great test, Thanks for the test.
I currently drive 2011 Toyota Corolla S, we have dashcam & looking for an upgrade. I like crispness of the video quality of the dashcam. I also like the VIOFO has the built in microphone which would be great for calling out license plate numbers just in case it’s not picked up on the camera video clearly.
Have you looked at the nexus n4 pro or n5? Feel like those are nicer than the viofo...
I have a 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve+! Love your channel and would love a Viofo!!
I drive a 2023 Kia Seltos, and I’ve been searching around for dash cams and this one looks really good and has super clear picture better than some others xD this would be cool to have.
I do like the review. I have been contemplating getting a dashcam for awhile now. After all the poor driver decision making you document every week, I could use one. BTW, I drive a classic 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix that gets compliments every time I drive it.
I drive a Honda Civic but keep thinking of getting a dedicated dashcam, really liked the Viofo A119 I used in my last car.
I drive an older Honda Crosstour and you proved to me that a DashCam was necessary. I bought a cheap one but need to invest in something better and get my teenagers one as well. Thank you for sharing!! Great info.
I drive a toyota fortunner 2014 v4 rwd, love your vids been watching since about 1 year also another licence plates test?
I've got an Audi Q7 with two sets of Blackvue dashcams (your Tesla cam footage made me jealous of the side views). I've been thinking of giving Viofo's a try though - I'd love to get pushed over the top to get that done with one freebie! 🙂
1993 BMW 740I- dont got a dashcam yet for it (Been shoppin around) and boy this one just takes the cake of the ones I've looked at (and better than the one I currently have in another vehicle) and yes, we use our blinker lol
Nice video thx, i have Model y 2023 with upgrade software so its the best dashcam
2016 Kia Sorento. I watch all the wham bam channnels. thanks for putting them out here.
I drive a Toyota RAV4. Love your channel and especially your narrations. ❤️❤️ being retired, I would love to be able to afford a dashcam.
I drive 2016 Bmw 318d, and would love to get that dashcam. I live in Croatia and I can tell you drivers have become a lot more reckless in past few years and dashcam would really help.
i love watching!!! been a fan for 2 years now. i have a 2020 jeep wrangler sport!
What's the power consumption of the 3rd party dashcam? Will it drain out the 12V battery?
I already have a VIOFO in my Nissan Armada. Thank you!
Love watching your channel. This dash cam set up would be useful in my 2013 Chevy Volt. WHAM BAM DASHCAM / TESLA CAM!!! WE ARE SATSIFIED!!!
Great video. Thanks. I drive a 2000 Ford Focus Hatchback. Alas, the fusebox is under the hood, which will make wiring a bit difficult if I don't want unsightly wires sticking out of my cigarette lighter socket. If I ever finish converting my 1988 Honda CRX Si to electric drive, I'll put the dashcam in that car instead of in the Focus.
