Hi All,
So, I was parked at a marketplace with fairly tight parking. When I got back in the car there were two Sentry Alerts but yet again, no camera icon to launch the viewer. This was quite frustrating.
When the Sentry Mode camera icon decided to show up later on my return home, there was no video from these two reported events. I put in a service request through my phone app to Tesla.
Does everyone agree that my Sentry Mode is obviously not working as-intended? When I first got my car I remember it working much better, and I could see viewer footage when an event was reported. That seems to have changed inexplicably on its own.
Here's the drive I am currently using, related closely to what is recommended in the Tesla manual;
SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive - SDCZ430-256G-G46
The first drive I tried was the one show below. It's working perfectly for my girlfriend and her Model 3, but I got the same results with it as the current drive. That is, inconsistent Sentry Mode icon displayed and events reported without anything being recorded. I have Sentry Mode disabled for home, but not for anywhere else.
SanDisk Ultra Flair 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ73-128G-G46,Black
I've tried soft reboot, deeper reboot (with brake), and nothing seems to resolve this issue. I let the Tesla Model 3 format the drive in each case, and it's not being used for anything but Sentry Mode (no music storage).
Anyone else had this issue with successful resolution, or is there anything else I can try before my distant Tesla Service appointment on the 23rd?
Thanks!
