I don't know the maximum capacity, but can vouch for a 2Tb Samsung T7, which is larger than most people would need, but the one I had to hand.

Can any recommend what size is needed?
I get my MY next Saturday - really have no idea of how the recording works
The USB stick they provide is adequate for dashcam and sentry footage, so long as you don't want to keep a huge back library for some reason. I upgraded because I wanted to be able to have my music library in the car (although the music player interface is rudimentary and pretty terrible).
The USB stick has the advantage of being small and discrete at the back of the glovebox. An SSD takes up more space and has a cable connecting it to the USB C port, but does nestle into the little shelf-like grooves inside the glovebox, so doesn't rattle around much.
There is no reason to rush and buy something before you get the car. If you do decide to store your own music, note that you will need to partition the drive (an easy process, just look it up online) so that TeslaCam will still work.

I’ve the same as @JonDarian (2Tb Samsung T7). I’ve setup separate partitions for sentry/dash cam, music, and light show.
Plenty of room even after my 350G! music library.
I used it as I had it spare from backing up my household PCs after upgrading to 4Tb T9.
I would think sentry/dashcam would be fine with 512Gb. Adding music I would go at least 1Tb.
As @JonDarian said, no need to rush out… take the time to get used to what comes with the car and how you use it. You will find it’s different to what you think you will do.
After a few months then decide.
Ahh thanks guys that’s good to know… I actually didn’t even know it came with a sub stick included so that’s tops.
I was thinking had to buy something before I got the car so I can relax a bit and learn it first.
Thank you both for your tips !

Installed the haloblk carbon fibre side mirror caps.
They look great and I like how the edge grooves cover the edge of the side mirror.
I’ve seen other mirror caps which don’t so this is a good touch.
These can also be fitted to model 3 (previous gen + highland)

Nice!
I will be looking into these when they become available here (I'm assuming they aren't yet because I can find nothing on them).
$280 for mirror caps (i do realise they are real carbon fibre), WHAT!

They are good. So much so that I’m considering them for my new model 3. Just need to make sure it is compatible with the ventilated seats (which the description mentions but you can’t really tell from the sample pictures). Was hoping they would run a discount code for Easter, but only the nz site had 20% off.
Just had some haloblk boot mats delivered. I've switched them over from some existing all-weather mats which I bought when I first got the car, nothing wrong with them and they have been doing the job fine. But I've gravitated towards the haloblk products as they’re definitely better in terms of quality.
The haloblk ones are definitely studier and thicker and fit great in the boot / sub-boot / frunk. You can also see that the backing of the old boot mat has patterns which has made some marks and damaged the felt of the boot lid. The only thing that's a negative on the haloblk boot mat is it doesn't have a lip on the edges to catch any water spills should they occur.
The boot mat is reversible - one side waterproof, the other side has felt backing and comes with a couple of boot organisers which you can stick on the felt side to stop things in your boot from moving around. I like it because I can flip the mat over to the waterproof side if I'm carrying anything wet / dirtier.
Overall great product from haloblk, recommended.

A question please if I may - do these mats feel like rubber, or more like a polypropene type surface, and if like oly (as I suspect), would a hard plastic item slide around on them (e.g. a small tool box etc.)?
