How easy would it be to add software so you could browse the dashcam USB stick natively?

As in within the car's UI.. can Tesla add a menu/submenu that acts as a file explorer, letting you see all the videos on the center display? Something like that would be far more useful that fart noises controlled by my steering wheel buttons.

It's entirely possible and I bet they will have something eventually. Would be great if I could save/trim dashcam footage in the car or see Sentry mode footage when alarm was triggered.

Assuming FSD is easy for Tesla, this feature already exists )

It's simply a matter of software.
But there are a couple of issues.
The first is that the browser doesn't have codecs in it, to watch video. And because of state laws banning drivers from seeing movies, that will be hard.

The next is that it is too easy to take out and view in phone or pc

This would be a big issue but could be enabled when stopped.

Enabled video playback would be trivial... but for Tesla seemingly going out of their way to not allow any video on the display at all (see the browser not supporting any for example)

No reason they couldn't limit it to only working in park... but then they took like 6+ years to get USB playback to resume (supposedly finally fixed in latest build) so I wouldn't hold my breath
