Dashcam uses a usb port capable of data operations. Some cars do not have a usb port in glove box & use other usb ports for dash cam, music playback, game controllers.dash cam...

They didn't fix anything. They said the SSD was drawing too much power (I've used it for almost 4 years). It started working, and now it is back to being broken every now and then. They said only the Tesla USB stick is suggested lol.@Snow Drift - Interested to hear what Tesla is able to fix with your service appointment.
My temporary workaround every night is to unplug the USB stick (before the car sleeps), and when I leave in the morning,I plug it in and it recognizes it. Seems that if the usb is plugged in while the car is asleep, it renders the dash cam USB unavailable until the car reboots or USB is plugged in when woken from a sleep cycle.
Did they pop in a Tesla usb stick (a Samsung bar one) and show it to you working? Probably they didn’t.They didn't fix anything.

What happened yesterday which could have made it not work reliably? Your car get a software update?I am relieved somewhat that I am not the only one who has the same issue. I had a Samsung T7 1GB SSD that worked fine until yesterday. When I drove my car today, a red X came up...
Yes, it looks like I have 2024.3.10.What happened yesterday which could have made it not work reliably? Your car get a software update?
Mine stopped work as well. The workaround is to not have any excluded locations. To get the dashcam to start working again, reboot system by holding in both scroll wheels. I was told it was caused by a firmware update & will be resolved in a future release.Wow, I’m glad I found this thread though I’m sorry it’s happening to others. I took my car in this morning and they “fixed” it for the dashcam not operating for me. The fix took about an hour, but two drives another I got it back and it was broken again. And for what it’s worth, I’ve been using a Tesla USB stick but this just started happening around two weeks ago.
I messaged them and now they’re supposed to be escalating it, but here’s the breakdown:

Yeah, I tried the reboot several times but it would stop working a drive or two later. I’ll remove excluded locations and see if that works. Thanks!Mine stopped work as well.

That would make too much sense. They just said that there were faults for too much power draw and it came from the front USB port.Did they pop in a Tesla usb stick (a Samsung bar one) and show it to you working? Probably they didn’t.
