dashcam usb drive

  1. RNHurt

    Is this a "hidden" USB drive in the center console?

    So, I had a loaner 2020 MX this week and it had this in the center arm rest storage space. It looks like a USB SSD. Does anyone have any information on how to install it? Is this common? I'm using a regular "super small" USB thumb drive but it might be good to move to something like this...

    Looking for ideal USB drive that does not stick out

    The USB drive for the sentry and dash cam videos in my Y is in the center console compartment just in front of the cup holders. Unfortunately, the two spots to plug the USB drive into are halfway down the wall. If I was to use a normal USB drive, it would stick out a couple of inches. If I was...

    Glovebox USB Drives

    My MYLR is an early 2022, delivered late November 2021. At some point I read some messages on this site about upgrading the USB drive in the glovebox. I bought a USB hub, and ended up with three drives plugged into it. Today I came back to the car and found the usual sentry mode incident...

    Using SATA SSD for Dashcam/Sentry

    Has anyone here ever tested out Using an Internal SATA SSD via USB to SATA III adapter (for dashcam/sentry)? It seems to me that, in theory, this should be the ultimate solution for performance, durability and resistance to extreme temperatures. I can only find one person (has a tiny 98 views...

    No Dashcam icon or USB detection...EVER...anyone else have and solve this?

    I may have missed it, but I have looked through the threads quite a bit to see if anyone else has gotten a new Tesla where the Dashcam didn't work from the get go. I have seen several people have issues with software updates or failed/corrupted USBs causing the issue, but they all had it working...

    Sentry Mode/Dashcam recording USB for AP3/MCU1

    What exactly are most people using for a USB these days? Are there certain manufacturers that tend to work better? I'm not looking for an SSD for the moment - just a larger USB stick if possible. What throughput threshold should I be looking at? I've recently been upgraded to AP3 but still using...

    USB Drive reformatted for dashcam use.

    Hi fellow Tesla owners. I had some trouble with some Sandisk USB drives after some firmware updates. Car kept saying my drive was too slow (even though it did write many dashcam videos prior to it saying that). I did some research and found some USB 3.0 drives. I've got 10 64gb and 10 128gb...
