My son backed into a car a few months ago and broke their back light. He left a note even though I never really discussed that with him (he’s a newer driver). The person was so appreciative of the note she told him not to worry about it. A month ago! young boy came to my door to tell me he ran into my son’s car with his scooter the night before. He gave me his information if I needed it for insurance. He did cause some damage, but I told him not to worry about it and how happy I was that he was honest enough to to tell me.
@@mx3ky41 BS it is worth it. Besides just turn it into the insurance company with footage & they should pay for the damage. Then they go after the car that hit her's insurance company. In Michigan it is no fault & insurance has to pay for damage if you have proof it was not your fault. If no proof anywhere from $250-$1000 deductable.
money vs time..... For $350. t's not worth it.. Most car insurance has a $500 deductible. She probably could i've spent those hours of time making youtube videos and earn waaay more $$$$. Just put the incident's expense in the "shit happens in life" category and move on.
Police when the city will profit: This red light camera caught your car going through a red light so you owe us $350. It wasn't you driving? That doesn't matter, your car, your ticket. Pay us. Police when the city won't profit: You caught someone on camera committing a hit and run and you got ONLY their license plate? Sorry, no face, no case, there's nothing we can do here.
What Have video evidence have number plate still can't catch? What kind of rule is that so poor. Lazy police. But red light can get fine nor matter who Ha... The police department don't want trouble but money.
I think it was an oversight but if not, huge dick move. Internet "justice" can be indiscriminate. Seems like the driver didn't even realize he actually hit the car.
The thing is even if it's a small scratch that no one else will notice, every time you get in your car that little scratch will drive you crazy! Good thing you are going to have it fixed.
Yes indeed. I fully understand. Especially wben you take pride in your new car and you strive to keep it looking new. I too have have replaced or repaired a new car to get it looking new after some mishap.
Shelby Church is my biggest UA-cam crush. The problem is that I am 10 years older than her and I still drive my Honda Civic that was purchased new in 2006. I am waiting for Tesla to offer a 0 money down 12 month lease for 299/month on a new Model 3.
My VW got side swiped while parked, and the person didn’t leave a note. The car was parked next to mine with some of my car paint on theirs. After some digging of the license plate through my insurance, turns out the owner didn’t have insurance. Today I’m still stuck with a dent in my door that I don’t think is worth fixing, as the cost to fix it is more than the car is worth.
Who is watching and reading comments at the same time. I really like this woman she always takes her time in doing proper research and uploading it ❤️❤️❤️
My dad backed into a car coming out of our driveway, and the first thing he did after moving his car back into the driveway was going to tell the owner who lives across the street from us. He was so nice about it and not upset - and happy that he even told him at all. Cause there really wasn't much damage to either car, so he could have just let it go and not tell him, but he didn't, and the guy said he would have been more upset if he didn't tell him. So like, it pays off to be honest about it.
This is most probably someone DUI and the fact that the police doesn’t care is honestly so bad! The whole thing about (we don’t have his face nor him admitting he did it)!!! Now he dod a scratch God knows what he will do next
Someone once keyed my car and slashed one of my tires while it was parked in my friend's apartment building parking lot. Wish I'd had sentry mode for that!
It probably won't help. There is hundreds of videos of keying a Tesla on the internet, police says they can't find the person, sometimes even licence plates won't help. With the keyed car there is really almost nothing you can do, if you don't know that person.
I think the sentry mode is certainly useful especially for people that might want to vandalize your car down the side like keying it. But honestly the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. You can pick up a front rear and inside dash cam setup for $250 bucks and put it in any car. Just have to make sure it has a constant power source so it's on even when the vehicle is turned off. what surprises me is the low quality on the Tesla cameras and It's also a very narrow field of view. Most actual dash cams have much higher resolution and have a much wider field of view. Cool car though. certainly better to have the feature than not. But I definitely recommend adding a decent dash cam set up to any vehicle especially if you live in an area that has a lot of problems like this
Lol, you typed in headlight/taillight when you requested service. Yeah, that’s a pretty cool feature on your car. And, even if it was cracked like that your paint would have chipped, eventually. You had to get that fixed. Not a bad price either. 👍🏼
But it's not like Sentry Mode detected the event and saved the footage...Shelby was in the car and she manually clicked "save" on camera icon, that's why she still have the footage :D In case of such event Tesla should activate the alarm right away and save the footage as a potential proof and it didn't :D When I leave my Model 3 at a parking garage I have 10 "Sentry events" - people walking nearby my car, but when I did a little experiment and I came close to the car and gave it couple of pushes, it recorded nothing :D So it's not perfect, but when you're in the car and you remember to click "save" when something happens, you have a footage and that's useful. You can also set 'save footage on honk' in settings, so that's nice too.
OMG Shelby No! I'm so sorry. My Model 3 I've had for 5 months now, luckily nothing has happened to her yet. Don't you love how we can watch the events from the car now! Was so excited to get this update!!
You got all the information you need in that license plate. If there's anything the internet is good at its ostracizing people. That car and its owner are going to become great sport for thousands of people who watch your videos.
Paint on a car isn’t just aesthetic, it’s protective (stopping rust etc). My car is an investment and I intend to make it last. Fixing scratches and minor damage is a total pain but it’s definitely important. I’m glad you’re getting yours fixed!
Thanks for your videos Shelby. Even if one of your videos doesn’t pertain to my interests, it’s such a refreshing delight to listen to you speak and feel your emotions along with you. Thanks for brightening my days!
My dad bought a brand new car and not even a month later some person came up to it and literally smashed the window and just left didn’t take anything and ironically 2 days before this happened my dads camera stopped working 🙃
Practical-Wellness I pretty sure it was a coincidence the same thing happened with my dads old car like a year before but the camera was working that time but you couldn’t rlly see the persons face which sucked
There’s an account “Carolyn Carter” blasting ads on UA-cam titled “start making money online” with your thumbnail. Not sure if it’s an issue or not but figured I’d let you know :) love your content!
I have nothing to do with Tesla but I'm obsessed they way she talks and making all vid and contents. just love it keep it up, huge respect and God Bless :)
Omg I had a similar experience but I don’t have a dash cam. A teen ran his bike into my car while it was parked and feel on it, there was a lot of damage. I saw it from my bed room window but ran out to talk to him.Two huge dents and two scratches from his handle bars. I contacted the parents they came by and said they’d fix it..... but never did. I contacted them asking them politely to fix it and even gave them a lower amount because my boyfriend works at a body shop. They ignored me, so I called my insurance and they said since it was a “cyclist” they don’t have insurance so I was on my own. I ended up paying my boyfriend to fix it, but it’s the whole principle of it! People suck sometimes, like I’ve personally hit someone else by accident. But I learned my lesson and paid for their car to be fix. Definitely gonna look into getting a Tesla once I graduate uni
Man it sucks when this crap happens. People don’t think about how much money someone spends on their car and think hitting it isn’t a big deal🙄 Thanks for sharing this giveaway Shelby! Good luck to everyone entering ✨💗
Best story ever, if you're from Boston, you know, someone I know sideswiped Whitey's car, stopped and told him, Whitey was very appreciative, told him not to worry, was glad he did the right thing, and said he would have it taken care of himself.
This is a perfect video to show off how important security features like sentry mode are. It also allows you to hold people who are reckless accountable for their hit and runs or whatever stupidity possesses them at that time.
Now with software update 2020.12.5, you can watch your recorded footage on the big screen in your car! Since your car was parked when it happened, this would fall under "comprehensive" insurance...not collision. Most policies that I've seen have a zero deductible for comprehensive, so it may be worth checking with your insurance to see if you can get reimbursed for the full amount. I just went through something similar with my Tesla, and insurance reimbursed my full amount.
I love that you don't edit things to be perfect and keep it real. You must have made that person's day when they got the message saying my headlight's damaged and they opened the mirror picture! :-)
HasanKhanArt I know just thought it was funny she did it after she addressed that she kept saying headlights instead of mirror I wasn’t trying to be rude
Your car was parked to far over, its basically on the white line from the side mirror camera angle. it even looks like your mirror is sticking out passed the white line. and there is almost no way they felt that small ass scratch, you probably did that opening your car door.
Good vid. Since u know the Licence plate number You know u can just go to the dmv and ask for thier information. it costs like $5.00 They give u a printout of the registered owners name & address. The cops can then get a warrant for the Location of the registered owners cell phone. if his cell phone puts him at the scene of the crime at the time & date of the accident u have his or her ass. then u just take them to court if they dont want to pay up for the repair.
at elise --- wishful thinking. they dont want the extra work / paperwork. They are not into generating calls. They cannot PROVE who was Driving the vehicle, so No case. No Face , No case.
Shelby........Your video this week was very interesting...You seemed a bit rattled about this, and were seemingly upset about this, and that person should definitely have paid for what they did. I absolutely think they way you handled it was spot-on. You also made me very interested in looking into getting a Tesla! You obviously have an affinity towards this car and it shows in your love for all this car offers. Thanks Shelby. You are a great video blogger. PS: I checked out your sister’s channel, because she had a very interesting story about Amazon Go stores. I liked it.......and it’s not a competition I know, but you are my choice of blogger. Thank you! ✅
@Shelby Church , I am sorry but could you please clarify if you mirror was actually protruding beyond the white line? Judging from the video moment at 3:28 secs, I can clearly see that your tire is very close to the white line which makes it quite likely that your mirror was sticking out beyond the white line. Comparing your footage to when you returned back to the place at 2:03 secs it doesn't seem like that's how you parked when the accident happened, because at 2:03 secs you can really see how there is a lot of space between your tire and the white line, while at 3:28 there is almost none. You also posted the licence plate number on the Internet, knowing that this video will be watched by thousands of people, with the intent of getting back to that person. There is something wrong with that. You shouldn't use Internet to get back to people. There are people in the comments who are looking up this person licence number. What if some kind of psycho finds him?( Is there a video where we can see your licence number?) Will you be content with people finding that person and harassing or bullying him? What if he truly didn't notice? It can happen and happens constantly. Let the police do their job and do not use Internet to revenge someone. If you did this for educational purposes as in "don't hit and run", then you could have blurred out his plate number and still get the point across. You also assume that he knew what he did. What if he didn't notice? There are a lot of such small accidents and believe it or not drivers sometimes don't notice things. Anyway, it does seem from your footage that that driver and you both were very close to that white line and got you cars damaged bcs of that.
Your videos are amazing and im not an english native but i learn english accent from your videos.thank you so much for all of that #keep it up i always support you😍
I was hit twice on campus and no one left a note. The first time I was moving in to my dorm, and the car in front of me (that was a parent) backed up INTO my front fender because he had a tow ball, then he just drove away. There's no way he didn't feel that or hear that. The second time I parked my car at midnight in the covered parking garage by my dorm, and the next morning there was a long scratch at rear fender. I knew it's the car parked next to me because there's similar scratch marks. I reported to police department at my university, and they said there's nothing they could do because there's no cameras in garage. Pretty disappointed at my university's parking facility. After those two incidents I installed dash cams in my car.
This would be great for the student parking lot at my school. With all the new drivers and tight spots everyone constantly gets scratches, dents, and bumps
hey Shelby, I love your videos and vlogs. I would loooooove to see a part two for the medium video because you are the one that inspired me to start writing on medium and I would like to say thanks.
'm so excited to get a tesla one day!! and i love it when you upload these videos :)This video is getting Injury Law ads, which are huge. Let us know how much it monetized for. Good luck.Thanks for your videos Shelby. Even if one of your videos doesn’t pertain to my interests, it’s such a refreshing delight to listen to you speak and feel your emotions along with you. Thanks for brightening my days! Recently subscribed to Shelby and seriously have been loving her content really like this woman she always takes her time in doing proper research and uploading it ❤️❤️❤️. great vidoe i enjoy Shelby youa re so pretty stunning queen love you ❤️❤️Take care yourself stay ssafe babe very intressting. love your video. fav youtuber
You don't have to justify reporting a hit and run no matter how minor the damage. Especially if it's a 40K+ car. Ppl have to be held responsible for their actions.
That's such a great feature, I love it! I have had damage done to my cars over the years while parked, and having the footage would have been a money saver for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Just came from your article on Medium and wanted to warn you; *you do have to change the oil in a Tesla.* It's not like they don't use lubrication, there are still plenty of mechanical systems in it. No gas doesn't mean no oil. Also the fact that it's scraping on your driveway _is_ a big problem - the battery is on the bottom center of the car. If it gets punctured (like, say, after having the armor worn down from being scraped on concrete 100 times with the full weight of the car on top of it) it could *explode.* That was a contributing factor in the other lithium cell fires that have happened for Tesla - which is why they were found to be not at fault. So I would recommend being less laissez-faire about it, because yes, there is a _very real and potentially deadly issue_ with scraping your car battery against a hard surface every day.
For future reference, you can replace those things pretty easily and cheap. Aftermarket side mirrors are around $50 on ebay & amazon. And you could look up a youtube video on how to replace it for your car.
Great video and I totally agree with Sentry Mode being one of the top features of a Tesla right after Autopilot. Glad it wasn't anything terrible, but please tell us more about your 2014 crash. That's crazy :O
That was terrible! The owner of the offending vehicle would be responsible for the driver causing damage. And don’t feel like you were being silly - that was a proper crack 😕
Wishing my wife had SentryMode! Found out that TWO things hit her car recently and I had to file 2 insurance claims on the same day when we found them. One was a blue car that dinged and scratched the door and side mirror with paint transfer. The other I thought was a car (the same car) but insurance said it was a dog or cat pawing at the fender. So weird! And super annoying to have to pay 2 insurance deductables for something we didn't do. I've got a Model 3 and I've seen some funny stuff on my camera. People looking in the window laughing at the SentryMode icon, waving at the cameras, random people touching the car when they walk by? Also when I dropped my car off to get it state inspected, the guy couldn't figure out how to use the door handle so that was funny to watch on the instant reply. And one time a dog took a huge crap right behind the car and that was also captured.
Doesn't matter how small the damage is! I hate when people like to tell others how to feel about their personal property. I am very protective of my vehicle and I treat other peoples vehicles in the same manner I treat my own. I do not bang their doors with mine when parked. I do not tailgate. I do not sit, lay or lean on someones car! It is just common courtesy which many folks lack! That "little scratch and crack" while others might not care about it other people who like to keep their property in top shape do care about blemishes. We should respect everyones property and keep our own opinions out of it!
Great Video, Shelby. Sorry about your mirror, too bad police is not helping you. Agree with one of the comments, $350 or not - it matters, so they don't do this next time causing huge damage or worse. I looked again on Manual for my M3. Your ability to record and get info about the car hit you is not part of SENTRY mode, but part of Dashcam app. While you are in the car dash cam is recording by default. You can honk and video will be saved instantly or tap on the screen icon for dash cam . Sentry mode is activated when car is locked and all doors and trunks closed. You can manually activate it by voice command as well, like 'save my tesla' or 'activate sentry mode'. From what you described, you were in the car when this happened, so its a dash cam app :). Still Sentry Mode and new Dashcam app with embedded player are my favourite features of this car. Hopefully soon all new cars will copy this from Tesla. Stay safe and enjoy your M3.
I have a rule for myself when it comes to my favorite creators , I don't skip their ads . Hopefully someone will do the same for me when i get monetised . Also FYI Shelby Church , you're one of the very few UA-camrs who lit a fire under my ass to make more content .Thank You ❤️
Good job on knowing which cars have sentry mode. When I knew you were about to explain it i was like oh god she's probably going to botch this and nope you had it all figured out.
Just call your insurance and give them the license plate number and they will file a claim on their insurance policy. Make sure you didn’t delete the video because you will need it.
Someone scratches the entire left side of my car last week, it’s my first “expensive” car.. I wanted to cry! I just don’t get why someone couldn’t just leave me there phone number.
Shelby you should pursue this. My daughter's car was hit & ended up being a hit & run, but my daughter got a picture of the plate, car & driver. The police weren't much help to us either when we made a report BUT our car insurance company was able to track down what insurance the person that hit her car had. Ended up that it was an ex boyfriend of the car owner that was driving but the car owner was still legally responsible. Our insurance company made sure the person at fault had to pay for the repairs via their insurance company. It took a little while but was worth it. Make sure though to always get that police report made. Love your videos Shelby! I want a Tesla so much but was injured in a work accident so can't work anymore to earn enough to buy one so 🤞 crossing my fingers for luck on winning one.💜
People in LA are notorious for this especially in places like West Hollywood n Hollywood where street parking on a busy street is the norm. Same thing happened to my Prius while parked in West Hollywood 😔
Shelby, which usb card do you use for sentry mode on your Model 3? Does sentry mode work well? Whenever this virus is over I wanted to pick up a model y.
Notice the tweet that said good luck getting it fixed also said “I’ve heard”. Some people go to amazing lengths to trash Tesla, some of them have never touched a Tesla never mind ridden in one.

Shelby: calls mirror ‘headlight’*
Mirror: Am I a HEADLIGHT to you?
Recently subscribed to Shelby and seriously have been loving her content 😍
She's the best... Consider following her sister too.
Lol, you typed in headlight/taillight when you requested service. Yeah, that’s a pretty cool feature on your car. And, even if it was cracked like that your paint would have chipped, eventually. You had to get that fixed. Not a bad price either. 👍🏼
Lol saw that too
A scratch is STILL a scratch no matter how small! Glad you caught it and also caught the plate in the footage. That's a golden feature for teslas.
You told Tesla you have a crack in your headlight 😂😂
That’s awesome. Getting a Cyber Truck when I can.
Cool to see this feature actually work.
But it's not like Sentry Mode detected the event and saved the footage...Shelby was in the car and she manually clicked "save" on camera icon, that's why she still have the footage :D In case of such event Tesla should activate the alarm right away and save the footage as a potential proof and it didn't :D When I leave my Model 3 at a parking garage I have 10 "Sentry events" - people walking nearby my car, but when I did a little experiment and I came close to the car and gave it couple of pushes, it recorded nothing :D So it's not perfect, but when you're in the car and you remember to click "save" when something happens, you have a footage and that's useful.

There’s an account “Carolyn Carter” blasting ads on UA-cam titled “start making money online” with your thumbnail. Not sure if it’s an issue or not but figured I’d let you know :) love your content!
I have nothing to do with Tesla but I'm obsessed they way she talks and making all vid and contents. just love it keep it up, huge respect and God Bless :)
New to the channel, but loving all your Tesla videsos! ( legit just watched like 3 back to back and it’s like 4am 😂) Very imformative.
It doesn’t matter who was driving the car, whoever owns that car should be held responsible!
Omg I had a similar experience but I don’t have a dash cam. A teen ran his bike into my car while it was parked and feel on it, there was a lot of damage. I saw it from my bed room window but ran out to talk to him.Two huge dents and two scratches from his handle bars. I contacted the parents they came by and said they’d fix it..... but never did. I contacted them asking them politely to fix it and even gave them a lower amount because my boyfriend works at a body shop. They ignored me, so I called my insurance and they said since it was a “cyclist” they don’t have insurance so I was on my own. I ended up paying my boyfriend to fix it, but it’s the whole principle of it! People suck sometimes, like I’ve personally hit someone else by accident. But I learned my lesson and paid for their car to be fix. Definitely gonna look into getting a Tesla once I graduate uni
Man it sucks when this crap happens. People don’t think about how much money someone spends on their car and think hitting it isn’t a big deal🙄 Thanks for sharing this giveaway Shelby! Good luck to everyone entering ✨💗
I love how you exposed them online, I deffo should have done the same with my hit n run a few months ago.
Sentry mode is honestly one of the best features on my SR+! I love it!
Doesn’t matter how minimal the damage is....if you hit the car you’re paying for the scratch ANY damages
Best story ever, if you're from Boston, you know, someone I know sideswiped Whitey's car, stopped and told him, Whitey was very appreciative, told him not to worry, was glad he did the right thing, and said he would have it taken care of himself.
If they are too close to the line then so are you parked there. But YES Sentry mode and Tesla are AMAZING!
Shelby: These are some reasons to get a TESLA!
The commercial: Get the new MAZDA!
This is a perfect video to show off how important security features like sentry mode are. It also allows you to hold people who are reckless accountable for their hit and runs or whatever stupidity possesses them at that time.
Now with software update 2020.12.5, you can watch your recorded footage on the big screen in your car! Since your car was parked when it happened, this would fall under "comprehensive" insurance...not collision. Most policies that I've seen have a zero deductible for comprehensive, so it may be worth checking with your insurance to see if you can get reimbursed for the full amount. I just went through something similar with my Tesla, and insurance reimbursed my full amount.
I love that you don't edit things to be perfect and keep it real. You must have made that person's day when they got the message saying my headlight's damaged and they opened the mirror picture! :-)
8:07 *clicks headlights and taillights* 😂😂
Chrithh . Clearly it's confusing what a mirror is versus a headlight.
We're human beings, we all make mistakes!
HasanKhanArt I know just thought it was funny she did it after she addressed that she kept saying headlights instead of mirror I wasn’t trying to be rude
Your car was parked to far over, its basically on the white line from the side mirror camera angle. it even looks like your mirror is sticking out passed the white line. and there is almost no way they felt that small ass scratch, you probably did that opening your car door.
hahahahah you called the cops too, hahaha okay Karen
I love that you call your mirror a headlight 😭😭
Good vid. Since u know the Licence plate number You know u can just go to the dmv and ask for thier information. it costs like $5.00 They give u a printout of the registered owners name & address. The cops can then get a warrant for the Location of the registered owners cell phone. if his cell phone puts him at the scene of the crime at the time & date of the accident u have his or her ass. then u just take them to court if they dont want to pay up for the repair.
You can Also Call your local DMV and provide them with the license plate number and Get it that way too.
This driver may have been drunk and they could hurt someone if they drive like that again, the police should do something
Is it really that easy?
at shuchen --- yep. But they do tell the registered owner who Requested the information.
at elise --- wishful thinking. they dont want the extra work / paperwork.
They are not into generating calls. They cannot PROVE who was Driving the vehicle, so No case. No Face , No case.
I donated $50. Thanks for spreading the word on a great cause!
Shelby........Your video this week was very interesting...You seemed a bit rattled about this, and were seemingly upset about this, and that person should definitely have paid for what they did. I absolutely think they way you handled it was spot-on. You also made me very interested in looking into getting a Tesla! You obviously have an affinity towards this car and it shows in your love for all this car offers. Thanks Shelby. You are a great video blogger. PS: I checked out your sister’s channel, because she had a very interesting story about Amazon Go stores. I liked it.......and it’s not a competition I know, but you are my choice of blogger. Thank you! ✅
That black interior is something else... so beautiful ugh.
@Shelby Church , I am sorry but could you please clarify if you mirror was actually protruding beyond the white line? Judging from the video moment at 3:28 secs, I can clearly see that your tire is very close to the white line which makes it quite likely that your mirror was sticking out beyond the white line. Comparing your footage to when you returned back to the place at 2:03 secs it doesn't seem like that's how you parked when the accident happened, because at 2:03 secs you can really see how there is a lot of space between your tire and the white line, while at 3:28 there is almost none.
You also posted the licence plate number on the Internet, knowing that this video will be watched by thousands of people, with the intent of getting back to that person. There is something wrong with that. You shouldn't use Internet to get back to people. There are people in the comments who are looking up this person licence number. What if some kind of psycho finds him?( Is there a video where we can see your licence number?) Will you be content with people finding that person and harassing or bullying him? What if he truly didn't notice? It can happen and happens constantly. Let the police do their job and do not use Internet to revenge someone.
If you did this for educational purposes as in "don't hit and run", then you could have blurred out his plate number and still get the point across. You also assume that he knew what he did. What if he didn't notice? There are a lot of such small accidents and believe it or not drivers sometimes don't notice things.
Anyway, it does seem from your footage that that driver and you both were very close to that white line and got you cars damaged bcs of that.
Your videos are amazing and im not an english native but i learn english accent from your videos.thank you so much for all of that #keep it up i always support you😍
I was hit twice on campus and no one left a note. The first time I was moving in to my dorm, and the car in front of me (that was a parent) backed up INTO my front fender because he had a tow ball, then he just drove away. There's no way he didn't feel that or hear that. The second time I parked my car at midnight in the covered parking garage by my dorm, and the next morning there was a long scratch at rear fender. I knew it's the car parked next to me because there's similar scratch marks. I reported to police department at my university, and they said there's nothing they could do because there's no cameras in garage. Pretty disappointed at my university's parking facility. After those two incidents I installed dash cams in my car.
I dont think you should even drive anymore.
Cracks me up how you even put 'headlight' in the app as well. lolol
This would be great for the student parking lot at my school. With all the new drivers and tight spots everyone constantly gets scratches, dents, and bumps
hey Shelby,
I love your videos and vlogs. I would loooooove to see a part two for the medium video because you are the one that inspired me to start writing on medium and I would like to say thanks.
'm so excited to get a tesla one day!! and i love it when you upload these videos :)This video is getting Injury Law ads, which are huge. Let us know how much it monetized for. Good luck.Thanks for your videos Shelby. Even if one of your videos doesn’t pertain to my interests, it’s such a refreshing delight to listen to you speak and feel your emotions along with you. Thanks for brightening my days! Recently subscribed to Shelby and seriously have been loving her content really like this woman she always takes her time in doing proper research and uploading it ❤️❤️❤️. great vidoe i enjoy Shelby youa re so pretty stunning queen love you ❤️❤️Take care yourself stay ssafe babe very intressting. love your video. fav youtuber
Lmao I can’t stop laughing someone flipped over your car and drove away
You're totally right! Who cares how big the damage is, good for you to reporting that ass.
Still, cops should be able to do something with that tbh!
Yes because LAPD dont have better stuff to do then to deal with little damage
@@kevrami Yes, lots of doughnuts need eating.
I would still report it. They didn’t even have the courtesy to stop so it means they’ve done it before.
YOU DEFINITELY FEEL IT.
You don't have to justify reporting a hit and run no matter how minor the damage. Especially if it's a 40K+ car. Ppl have to be held responsible for their actions.
That's such a great feature, I love it! I have had damage done to my cars over the years while parked, and having the footage would have been a money saver for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Just came from your article on Medium and wanted to warn you; *you do have to change the oil in a Tesla.* It's not like they don't use lubrication, there are still plenty of mechanical systems in it. No gas doesn't mean no oil.
Also the fact that it's scraping on your driveway _is_ a big problem - the battery is on the bottom center of the car. If it gets punctured (like, say, after having the armor worn down from being scraped on concrete 100 times with the full weight of the car on top of it) it could *explode.* That was a contributing factor in the other lithium cell fires that have happened for Tesla - which is why they were found to be not at fault. So I would recommend being less laissez-faire about it, because yes, there is a _very real and potentially deadly issue_ with scraping your car battery against a hard surface every day.
Shelby don't worry about your car stay positive.. be happy
For future reference, you can replace those things pretty easily and cheap. Aftermarket side mirrors are around $50 on ebay & amazon. And you could look up a youtube video on how to replace it for your car.
You're too chill Shelby I'd have chased that person down!
On repair note: "There is a small scratch on the *headlight* " >.
I’m just getting mini cameras and taping them to my car 😂
Bad boys! Can't wait to trade in my TSLA stocks for a Tesla Roadster in the future. Currently at +270%!
Brilliant feature. Nail that hit and runner. Looking forward to that tech in other cars too. I love your sponsor. Cool way to raise money.
Great video and I totally agree with Sentry Mode being one of the top features of a Tesla right after Autopilot. Glad it wasn't anything terrible, but please tell us more about your 2014 crash. That's crazy :O
That was terrible! The owner of the offending vehicle would be responsible for the driver causing damage.
And don’t feel like you were being silly - that was a proper crack 😕
Wishing my wife had SentryMode! Found out that TWO things hit her car recently and I had to file 2 insurance claims on the same day when we found them. One was a blue car that dinged and scratched the door and side mirror with paint transfer. The other I thought was a car (the same car) but insurance said it was a dog or cat pawing at the fender. So weird! And super annoying to have to pay 2 insurance deductables for something we didn't do. I've got a Model 3 and I've seen some funny stuff on my camera. People looking in the window laughing at the SentryMode icon, waving at the cameras, random people touching the car when they walk by? Also when I dropped my car off to get it state inspected, the guy couldn't figure out how to use the door handle so that was funny to watch on the instant reply. And one time a dog took a huge crap right behind the car and that was also captured.
Doesn't matter how small the damage is! I hate when people like to tell others how to feel about their personal property. I am very protective of my vehicle and I treat other peoples vehicles in the same manner I treat my own. I do not bang their doors with mine when parked. I do not tailgate. I do not sit, lay or lean on someones car! It is just common courtesy which many folks lack! That "little scratch and crack" while others might not care about it other people who like to keep their property in top shape do care about blemishes. We should respect everyones property and keep our own opinions out of it!
Great Video, Shelby. Sorry about your mirror, too bad police is not helping you. Agree with one of the comments, $350 or not - it matters, so they don't do this next time causing huge damage or worse. I looked again on Manual for my M3. Your ability to record and get info about the car hit you is not part of SENTRY mode, but part of Dashcam app. While you are in the car dash cam is recording by default. You can honk and video will be saved instantly or tap on the screen icon for dash cam . Sentry mode is activated when car is locked and all doors and trunks closed. You can manually activate it by voice command as well, like 'save my tesla' or 'activate sentry mode'. From what you described, you were in the car when this happened, so its a dash cam app :). Still Sentry Mode and new Dashcam app with embedded player are my favourite features of this car. Hopefully soon all new cars will copy this from Tesla. Stay safe and enjoy your M3.
I have a rule for myself when it comes to my favorite creators , I don't skip their ads . Hopefully someone will do the same for me when i get monetised . Also FYI Shelby Church , you're one of the very few UA-camrs who lit a fire under my ass to make more content .Thank You ❤️
Good job on knowing which cars have sentry mode. When I knew you were about to explain it i was like oh god she's probably going to botch this and nope you had it all figured out.
Just call your insurance and give them the license plate number and they will file a claim on their insurance policy. Make sure you didn’t delete the video because you will need it.
Ty for tesla content - looks like this was filmed before the newest update where you can view dashcam in car!
Someone scratches the entire left side of my car last week, it’s my first “expensive” car.. I wanted to cry! I just don’t get why someone couldn’t just leave me there phone number.
Thank you for the registration info - I’ll follow up for you!
You actually wrote headlight on that message too 8:12 LMAO
Shelby you should pursue this. My daughter's car was hit & ended up being a hit & run, but my daughter got a picture of the plate, car & driver. The police weren't much help to us either when we made a report BUT our car insurance company was able to track down what insurance the person that hit her car had. Ended up that it was an ex boyfriend of the car owner that was driving but the car owner was still legally responsible. Our insurance company made sure the person at fault had to pay for the repairs via their insurance company. It took a little while but was worth it. Make sure though to always get that police report made. Love your videos Shelby! I want a Tesla so much but was injured in a work accident so can't work anymore to earn enough to buy one so 🤞 crossing my fingers for luck on winning one.💜
Your content is so great, Shelby! Love your videos
People in LA are notorious for this especially in places like West Hollywood n Hollywood where street parking on a busy street is the norm. Same thing happened to my Prius while parked in West Hollywood 😔
Shelby, which usb card do you use for sentry mode on your Model 3? Does sentry mode work well? Whenever this virus is over I wanted to pick up a model y.
The way you say Mi-Yr .. sweet 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
Get the CYBERTRUCK! You don’t need to worry about scratch or dents
Notice the tweet that said good luck getting it fixed also said “I’ve heard”. Some people go to amazing lengths to trash Tesla, some of them have never touched a Tesla never mind ridden in one.
Did you contact your insurance company with the info on the other car?
She probably didn’t make a claim because she would have to pay a deductible which is more than the repair even costs. At least I think that’s why
U can DIY fix it 4 a lot cheaper. Get a replacement cap off eBay or from a dismantler. Pop off the broken one, snap the new one on and viola!
