How does one go about contacting Tesla for the 72 hour back up?
Edit: I just called Tesla and they said a USB thumbdrive has to be installed for this to work. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the backup?

I'd get a used enterprise SATA drive (960GB should be $75+) and a SATA to USB converter ($4-9). I've run that for months with very few problems. It takes one of the USB ports alone, so I got a splitter for the other. I plan to take apart the center console and add a raspberry pi zero so I can pull videos without removing the drive and minimize the chances of someone grabbing it if they break into the car.Don't get me wrong. I love my Tesla and expect to have "growing pain" problems from time to time but this is getting old. How do I fix this USB problem once and for all??
Just like the whole idea of Tesla providing a user accessible 72 hour backup was some writer completely speculating.FWIW the specific post is one dude completely speculating with no facts whatsoever

The car itself doesn't have very much internal storage... (this is why you need a USB key in the first place- and why the version of Cuphead in the car is only the first level or whatever since the whole full game can't fit)
FWIW the specific post is one dude completely speculating with no facts whatsoever
The only speculation was if the user could access it
Now we have mlkmade having spoken directly to Tesla asking about it- and them saying access it requires having had a USB key in the car.
Granted- Tesla reps are not always entirely accurate- but it'd be a little weird of a coincidence if one just happened to make up a feature (user access) that a previous news story had reported existed if it doesn't exist.

Yes, without a doubt that is speculation on my part, my interpretation of the privacy statement. That said, there's pretty much no chance that Tesla is uploading video of all sentry mode events. The costs would be enormous and it would make no sense not to have a means for an owner to retrieve those videos.
A mechanical hard drive is actually ideal for this sort of constant writing. Unfortunately they're not ideal for the constant movement that comes with being in a car. There are some that are designed for being moved, but a sudden jolt like a pot hole or an accident would send the head crashing into the platter and likely damage some sectors. Potentially the ones you need since after an accident is one of the most likely times you'll need to access the footage.

TMThree, is there anyway you can give us the link for those items that you mentioned? thanks.Get a usb to ssd cable for $9 on amazon, and then buy a 240gb ssd for about $50. That will be much faster than the write requirements, and will last a lot longer than thumbdrives.

I don't remember giving Tesla permission to download my personal USB recordings.
