If criminals were smart....

Just had a funny thought....

Since Tesla has yet to offer a cloud solution of Tesla cam / sentry mode backups

any smart criminal that wants to steal something out of your model 3 just needs to also grab your usb drive after breaking in haha

Fortunately most aren't that smart. And that's what the JEDA USB hub is all about, since it's pretty nearly impossible to realize its there.

Not as long as some owner doesn't post about it on the internet. Perhaps a youtube video? (Like the putz that shows everyone how to get into the frunk w/o a key)

Yet another reason I went with the 900S UHD blackvue cameras with cloud connectivity and a permanently installed LTE automotive wifi hotspot router.

An additional USB port in the glove box would solve that problem nicely....

Clever boy. Just like me.
(Plus the video from the 4K front cam is far better at identifying licence plates in low light)

i mean... unless you want to comb through hours of mundane driving videos, sure. but most drives are so ridiculously cheap these days, there are probably other things in the vehicle worth taking if someone were so inclined to break in to one.

my stick cost me $50. it's small and hard to notice. i'll continue to use it until it dies and likely buy a similar model.

with that said, i've had a vehicle broken in to and they stole my radar detector. ever since that day, it always goes somewhere hidden. don't leave things in the open and people will be less inclined to pop a window.

It's more to cover their tracks than have a cool new USB device.

The smash-and-grabbers need to be in and out in a matter of seconds. If they don't see something tempting left out in the open in the passenger cabin, they would likely smash the rear quarter window to allow them to flip down a rear seat so they can peer into the trunk for something yummy to take. If there isn't, they move on to the next target. Would they spend the extra time breaking a front passenger window and then diving in to check the center console for the presence of a USB stick so they can remove evidence? Simpler to just flip up their hoodies to hide their faces.

hadn't thought of it this way, but then again, what criminal is "smart"? it's experience vs. intelligence.

I'm going to do this with a USB extension, perhaps with a dummy USB drive in the console area.

I'm sure Tesla will make changes along these lines but obviously sentry mode was an afterthought.
