MODEL 3 Dashcam

It should as it works on a circular buffer principle . Have you looked to see what is happening ? Maybe there are saved recordings which are affecting the usage .

So I’ve updated to the latest software version last night and now my Dashcam memory card is saying it’s full and that I need to empty it ... I thought that it was meant to overnight itself ?

It may be a bug (I think I have seen this reported somewhere), or may be pre v10 firmware, where dashcam rotated unless saved, but sentry events just accumulated.

Overwrite . Grrrr

Seems to be consistently inconsistent
Lot's of folks having same issues judging by other forums and YouTube

Does anyone have recommendations on the min write speed and storage size options?

 

[MrBadger]

TeslsCam writes at an approx sustained 4MB/sec (note Bytes).

Storage size is largely irrelevant (unless you like hoarding stale clips or need to leave the car on sentry without checking for several weeks). However the larger the media, the less frequently it will overwrite the media memory - it is these overwrites that will ultimately wear the memory out.

imho, from a price/reliability POV on SD cards, 128GB seems to be a good place to be.

On subject of reliability, an Endurance spec card if going for SD format or most types of SSD drives should be more tolerant of repeat overwrites.
