Right. I'm looking for one that's good quality.... and that seems impossible to find. Cheap, super easy.I have no experience with any, but there are a ton to choose from on Amazon and they're dirt cheap.

While the Sandisk High Endurance cards are suited for dashcams, I would spend a little bit more to get the Samsung Pro Endurance cards as they use better NAND resulting in four times the lifespan. The Sandisk 128GB is rated for 10,000 hours, while the Samsung 128GB is rated for 43,800 hours. Granted it'll probably take more than 5 years to run 10,000 hours, but the higher quality NAND is less prone to errors too.

I appreciate all of this great advice, folks. Seriously. This is a lot of the info that I was hoping to find. Over the time I've been using TeslaCam, I've gotten some crazy, defective files. Maybe it is the car. Maybe it is the inadequate memory chips. I'd like to try the most durable stuff out there. Gets HOT in my car!
Now, if anybody knows of an actual high-quality USB-A to iPhone lightning connector, I'm all ears. Something that could keep up with these fast cards.
Thanks. I'm glad that they keep pushing that envelope. But yeah, there really is such a thing as overboard. The Samsung looks awesome for the price and all. I think it is time for them to stop wasting those adapters.... How many do we all need?!I forgot to mention Sandisk released a newer MAX endurance chip that was released during this pandemic that exceeds even the Samsung. With the higher cost, it's a law of diminishing returns in regards to this one.

What adapter do you use to fit that card to fit in the car's USB slot ?I forgot to mention Sandisk released a newer MAX endurance chip that was released during this pandemic that exceeds even the Samsung. With the higher cost, it's a law of diminishing returns in regards to this one.

Oh wait! If I have my music drive in one port and my TeslaCam drive in the other, how would it know which one I was trying to format?! Oops. May have figured out THAT pesky problem.
My first step in future testing will be to ONLY have one thumb drive inserted.

And since I don't need multiple outlets, it appears to be 1/3 cheaper if just USB to Lighting.https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Lightn...5be956465f1cf17ba33f3bdd1c4732&language=en_US
Here's the Apple adapter. Considered one of the most reliable if you don't care about the price.
Ah, that's the beauty of the iXpand that I've been using. No adapter needed, you see. USB on one end, built-in Lightning connector on the other.What adapter do you use to fit that card to fit in the car's USB slot ?
Unplug the other one temporarily?...

Good point. And yeah, probably not a limiting factor in this. And since made by Apple, at least I can trust that it actually IS USB 2.0. The no-brand ones that say USB 3.0.... who knows? Even better are the ones that don't even let you know the version. Just USB. Yay.Keep in mind, this is USB 2.0. Not sure how much that matters.

I wasn't aware that the iPhone (All iPhones the same?) had a USB version designation. Good to know. But to answer your wonderment.... 3.0 would get me exactly 1.0 more than 2.0. More has to be better, right? Like my amp that goes to 11.Given the car is USB 2.0, and the iphone is USB 2.0, not sure what 3 would get you?
One thing I recall from a previous thread though was you might need a powered Lighting->USB connector for some storage devices (but not others- and you'd probably need to dig up the old thread for more details than that- once they added local viewing to the car I lost all interest in that idea)

No idea about the powered aspect. Doubtful though, since the iXpand works without power.
As for local viewing in the car making all this irrelevant for you.... how are you watching drive video that you didn't save immediately after it happened? For the life of me, I can't figure out why Tesla won't let us view that video. Can only be seen externally once the card is removed from the car.
Why would I want to?
If it was important enough to watch later I'd have saved it.... (you have ~9 minutes to do so- as hitting save preserves the previous 10 minutes of footage)
I purport that this is a real problem with the DashCam. I don't know if it will help, but I posted the following in a Tesla forum on the issue:I can tell you why *I* do: I'm not the only driver. When other family members return, there are sometimes reasons that I want to view past video. And even when I'm driving, some events that happen in real time don't seem interesting to me... until I'm home and want to answer some questions.
Dashcam ERASES RecentClips entirely if you haven't driven the car for more than an hour.
