To my knowledge the preview is HW3 only.
The only thing that has been "added" to 2.5 is the visualization of cones, with the 12.5 update.

So I thought a bit more about what I wrote above, “releasing it in reverse order”... went out to the garage, changed the software setting from Advanced to Standard, and BOOM! 2020.12.5 downloading now

I got the update, other than dashcam to view my dashcam videos that no longer work, what else is new? Hah. I haven't even driven my car in weeks now.
I think that’s the case but how is that helpful? With roadie I can see recent clips of my drive and I can then choose to save. This is helpful i would imagine to document an accident or event of interest while driving. Are you saying it won’t capture this in the new viewer or you just can’t see it and instead have to unplug the USB device and located the dashcam clip in a computer? If so that makes no sense why it would show sentry clips but not recent recorded dashcam ones.

Ha, that's funny. I went out to the garage and did a reboot and BOOM, it downloaded and installed.So I thought a bit more about what I wrote above, “releasing it in reverse order”... went out to the garage, changed the software setting from Advanced to Standard, and BOOM! 2020.12.5 downloading now

It shows sentry files and any manually SAVED files as well.
If it's a clip you want to actually keep you'd want to save it anyway- either tapping the camera icon or honking saves the last 10 minutes of recent footage.
Otherwise it's going to be overwritten in the very near future regardless.

Only if the event you want to document is more than 10 minutes ago. Otherwise just tap the dashcam icon to save the video. Once saved, it can be played in the internal viewer. Using something like Roadie isn't fundamentally different in this case, just that you copy the video to your phone instead of moving it to the Saved directory on the memory device.
In any case, after about an hour, any dashcam video that you haven't excplicity saved or copied to your phone is deleted.

Cones visible on HW2.5
Supercharger info now shows out of service ports at superchargers.
Plus the usual general "bug fixes and updates" type stuff where everyone insists they think some random behavior got better or worse and everyone else says the opposite.

Roadie keeps all files until it runs out of space. That can be several hours worth.

Same here. Got in the car this morning and the touchscreen was not responsive. Did a reboot and when it came back on, it immediately started downloading 2020.12.5 !

Ah, OK. I thought it was just a wireless USB stick, but I just saw that it's actually a RasPi Zero (similar to the various DIY projects), so it can continuously copy the dashcam video to a safe place.
I'm really happy to finally have an internal viewer. It would be great though if it showed the image while scrubbing through a video to make it easier to find the trigger event. Another function it should have is to format the memory card/stick. Otherwise, great update.
An unrelated annoyance: I wish I could turn off the traffic cone visualization (my car is still on HW2.5, so I didn't have it before). It's distracting and useless, given that most of the time what it detects aren't actually traffic cones ...

TeslaCam records everything like it always has, it just that the Viewer only show Sentry stuff and stuff you've saved. Use your Roadie to see the other stuff.

Manipulation of the files would be awesome and I hope this functionality could be added to the app. Then if an event is triggered you could view it remotely from your phone.
cones didn’t exist for us with 2.5...I know 2.5 can see stop signs and knows when traffic signals are red, heck it’s even warns you...I’m hopeful we may see the lights and stops signs in software 2030 12.6.

I tested this this weekend. Still veers to the middle of the lane exactly the same way when activating AP. Also had phantom braking as usual. Still work to do, Tesla.
