Just had someone swipe the front bumper and they didn't leave a note.
Usb drive was full so no recording on sentry mode.

Too bad and unfortunate Sentry doesn’t automatically overwrite the oldest files!
Was the red recording light on?

Sentry mode is pointless the way it wont over-write old files. Bit tricky when in the middle of a journey with no pc to clean out the usb.

that's why everyone just attaches a huge SSD so they only have to do a clearout every few months.

About 30MB per minute for each camera.
I just use multiple 32 or 16 GB sticks, have an empty one ready to plug in. But yes it would be good if the system overwrote files unless specifically saved.

i wouldnt worry about the 80 dollar SSD when your 100k car gets nicked haha. Huge refers to capacity not size. Most external SSDs are about as big as 3-4 usb sticks put together.

There is a solution involving a raspberry pie which automatically uploads to your computer once its gets to your wifi network.

Has Tesla fixed the issue where a lot of cards were getting killed?
Anyway, I've decided to go with 128GB Endurance rated MicroSDs in a mini card reader. I figured it would be more discreet, more reliable, and if the card dies it's wasn't too expensive an experiment before trying something else. I like the idea of a large capacity SSD but I was worried about it crapping out early, and also it would stick out like dog's bs in the not so hidden USB console compartment of a Model X.

I had a 64GB USB card and it filled up within about a week as I park in a public carpark with lots of cars driving and people walking past. The 1TB has been going well this week its a nice little black unit that might just blend in with the surrounds? its the WD My Passport SSD Portable Storage but its black and $60 at JB HI-FI

FAT32 or if you are into Linux, ext4. The above mentioned link to the TeslaTap page on USB drives is excellent.
