Mr. Duck
The sandisk cruzer is perhaps the most counterfeited drive out there. It's relatively easy to get a fake one.

It is highly unlikely they are counterfeit if you purchase from Costco. They have a tight and carefully managed supply chain.The sandisk cruzer is perhaps the most counterfeited drive out there. It's relatively easy to get a fake one.
So now we get exFAT as an option for TeslaCam.
I'm not well versed in the various file systems. What benefits does exFAT have for TeslaCam use? Is it just ease of formatting or are there other aspects?
Thx!
Honestly nothing you're likely to care about beyond "easier to format larger than 32GB partitions from windows native interface"
Like- it supports single files larger than 4GB (which FAT32 does not) but since none of the camera files are more than a tiny tiny fraction of that it doesn't really matter here.
I got the same message. Bought a faster drive. Problem solved. Maybe due to a software update.A few days ago this message showed up: “Dashcam: USB drive is too slow to save-please use a drive with higher write speed”
Then I tried to format the usb stick but it still didn’t work. The worked flawlessly for months until now. Any suggestions? Thanks.
i'm experiencing the same thing. usb reads on my computer but does not read in the car. did this happen after the new software update?How long have you been using the Pure Tesla drive? I went with the Sandisk 128 GB high endurance memory card and adapter route - both of which were listed in this thread as working. Worked fine for several months. A few weeks ago, it just stopped working. No dashcam icon and the car did not recognize that a storage device was plugged in. I have two Teslas and have two memory cards and adapters. This problem happened in both Teslas (Model S and Model 3). Reformatting the cards didn't work.
I figured I might have damaged the card by unplugging it before turning off the dashcam, even though the card still works in my computer, so I bought a new card - same type. Plugged it in and it worked for one day. Parked the car in my garage overnight and the next morning, no more dashcam icon.
I am curious how you achieve "360-degree recording of motion-triggered video" when the Tesla doesn't have 360-degree video coverage.
Curious how you determined which were best? What methodology?On our buyer's guide, we also list some of the best USBs / SSDs that work for Sentry/Dashcam.

Hey Kevy bab
Hey!
We were just quoting Tesla's statement (Autopilot) on its eight cameras + sensors.
Advanced Sensor Coverage
Eight surround cameras provide 360 degrees of visibility around the car at up to 250 meters of range. Twelve updated ultrasonic sensors complement this vision, allowing for detection of both hard and soft objects at nearly twice the distance of the prior system. A forward-facing radar with enhanced processing provides additional data about the world on a redundant wavelength that is able to see through heavy rain, fog, dust and even the car ahead.
Though, we appreciate that Tesla's sentry recordings have blind spots.
As for the second statement, we judge this by the read/write speed and the device's ability to maintain the advertised speed, and also user feedback on the devices. A lot of other softwares for viewing Sentry footage use the iXpand system, which has mediocre performance compared to the drives we recommend.
Cheers
That's AP, not Sentry/Dashcam.
AP uses 8 cameras.
Dashcam uses 4.
Tesla does record B pillar cameras (just ask and videos are provided from their cloud) and motion in those B pillars trigger recordings nonetheless.
Replaced the adapter as some have suggested and it works again.was running the SanDisk 128GB High Endurance Video MicroSDXC Card with Adapter for months and it worked flawlessly until now. The camera icon isn't appearing anymore even after a FAT32 reformat. This happened right after the new software update. It looks a few are also experiencing the same thing with this setup, which was a popular recommended setup. Wondering if this is a software bug.
