Just received my wife's 2024 Model 3 - and would like to know what is the best and easiest means of replacing the cheap 128 Tesla flash drive with something much better and with more memory. There is NO agreement on this issue - and so many people complain of failure of Sandisc card readers, flash drives,SSD, etc. I just want something that will plug in like original, not take up any room but have more storage like 512 instead of 128 and be able to work with Tesla and its updates.

BEST memory for sentry mode on 2024 Telsa Model 3 Highland
- Thread starter SEMPERFI
- Start date
Do you have personal experience using this one? I recently bought another manufacturer's 512 Gb memory stick and it would not work in my MY. Hence my hesitation before purchasing another to replace the pitiful 128 Gb OEM model which I filled up in about 8 months.

Unless you want to save old Sentry Mode videos, you can easily reformat the OEM USB from the touchscreen and free up space.

The Tesla drive is a Samsung Bar Plus with a Tesla logo. You can get a larger storage version on Amazon. But it’s nothing special or standout other than the design.
I have a cheap internal SSD with a USB to SATA adapter just sitting exposed in the glove box and it works fine.
Portable SSDs like Samsung T7 and SanDisk extreme should be fine.

That is not the case with the 128GB thumb drive that came with my Highland, it is smaller and different shape than the one in hey8you's photo.
I replaced it with a Samsung 256 GB Pro Endurance SD card and formatted it in the car where to my surprise the car formatted it to EXT4 format instead of exFAT.
