I'm pretty sure it comes as one big chunk.
My car seems to do 10 or 15MB every few days, no idea what it's sending/receiving. But when I get a new update it's always preceded by a large 500+ download.

Thanks for posting the video! Interesting.
Compared to HD or 4K dash cams, it looks mediocre at best, yes. And the amount of footage that can be stored sounds more limited than dedicated dash cams - I have a 128GB card in my Blackvue and I can usually get 1.5+ days of footage in my normal driving at a much better resolution).
But...1) this feature is free, 2) it doesn't require additional hardware, the quality seems OK-ish, 3) it will get better and get more features in the future, 4) WAY better than nothing for the many people that simply would not install an aftermarket dash cam, and 5) it's a very unique feature that no other manufacturer is doing (that I am aware of).
So, pretty cool start, I think, despite some limitations.
Edit: Removed erroneous statement about FAT32 volumes being limited to 4GB. I have been corrected on that point.

In the 9.0 announcement it mentions the latest version of the navigation maps.
Anybody know if these are different/newer than the ones that we received in March with the introduction of MCU2?
Discover Software Version 9.0

Discover Software Version 9.0
- Note: Before this feature can be enabled, the latest version of Navigation maps must be downloaded via WiFi. A message will display on the touchscreen when new maps have been installed.

The 4GB FAT32 limit is individual file size, not file system size. Any reasonable recording software can split a continuous stream into multiple 4GB files.
Agreed,
Wasn’t complaining. Just trying to provide objective observations.
I think it does what it needs to do, provide a record in case of an unforeseen event. Ten minutes back at the push of a button is plenty of time.
Many routers can be queried using an snmp program. I have my car as the only user of a particular AP and then use “peak hour 4” to monitor.

Thanks for the correction. What is the volume limit of FAT32? 32GB? Having moved over to Mac a decade ago, I admit my Microsoft knowledge is not what it used to be compared to when I was a MCPS and did Windows programming back in the day
Just now...<bleap> (on phone) Tesla App Notification, A Software Update is Available.
YES!!!
YES!!!

32GB if formatted in windows. However, plenty of third-party disk utilities can format it beyond the 32GB limit.
that being said, since the car doesn't record while parked and only records while driving, i feel like 32GB is more than enough.

Okay - how many of you are refreshing your app every 5 min or going to your car every 10 min? Don't deny it!
I'll admit.
I was checking my WiFi router for downloads to my car every 10 minutes easily. The second I put down the phone, the download happened and I received the notification from the app that the update was available. Sitting in car right now installing!

Lol it 'always' happens when you put down the device and stop looking/paying attention, doesn't it?
Install complete. Just under 30 mins. Hello ... um wow 2018.39.6. Didn't expect the .6 version.
