Type of USB for Sentry Mode in New Order

[Bhewks]

Stupid Question: I ordered on 7/3 and my SA tells me the car will have wireless charging and USB-C. Is it safe to assume that the port for the Sentry mode HD would be USB-C also? I’d like to buy a hard drive.

Cheers,

you can use either port as sentry. one side is usb c the other is usb 2.0 from the photos ive seen.
dont use a spinning hard drive. get an SD , ssd or M.2 pcie NVMe

Off topic: my eyes saw "new world order" in your subject title..

Save the USB C port for charging. It's much faster. Get a Samsung t5. Don't skim on the drive. Don't go SD card or USB flash. SSD is what you need. I have a SanDisk ssd external that comes as a USB C but has a USB A adapter so I'm sort of future proof. I partitioned it before the car supports formating. But I separated the partition so I can load music on one and use other for sentry.

Slight off topic but still relevant.... but when do you think thieves will figure out that all they need to do is yank out the storage device.. hence losing all evidence of the issue at hand. I often think "yay i have my sentry in case something happens".. only to think.. "well, hopefully they're not smart enough to yank out my USB". I feel like T should include some type of internal storage that can't be so easily taken out of the car. I know there are products designed to help hide the storage device but that's also a temp fix until folks start getting hip to that as well.
