    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...

    "safely eject USB"

    There should be a "safely eject USB" feature to stop all activity to all USB partitions (sentry, music, and any future partitions). There is a hidden long-press to stop the Dashcam. It works but it doesn't promise to pause all USB activity and it's hard to find in the Controls or the Owner's...

    Using SATA SSD for Dashcam/Sentry

    Sentry mode on 2022.20.6 (and before)

I want to understand if this is a current behavior of Sentry mode (as stated by Tesla service) for many of us or is it my problem (because I tend to disagree with what Tesla service is saying).
