Sentry mode and Dashcam 1kb files in Model S

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
On my 128gb USB drive, I am getting only 1kb files (non-playable of course) in the TeslaCam/RecentClips and SavedClips folders. The Timestamp filenames are correct, but all of the files are 1kb in size, and have no video footage on my Model S.

This USB drive was tested on my Model 3, and the TeslaCam works fine.

Anyone know why this is happening? thanks.

What USB that works in your Model 3 should work in your S and X EXCEPT

that your S and X might not have updated required hardware to do that:

The minimum requirement is Hardware 2.5.

Most likely your S / X are sub Hardware 2.5.

Hardware 2.5 started in the production since August 2017 for your S and X.
