![]() In V9 the video is not overwritten, and for a small USB drive, it can quickly fill up the drive. If you’re using the Sentry Mode, each motion outside the car saves 10 minutes of recording. If the drive has slow write speeds, all sorts of oddities can occur, including total drive failure. Upgrading to MCU2 fixes this and will add the rear camera to the saved video. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to improve the video on this hardware combination. In these cases, the drive works fine for a period of time but fails after a while.įor HW2.0 vehicles that got the FSD AP3 processor upgrade, and using MCU1, the video can lose frames and can be quite streaky. ![]() Some drives have fast writes for small amounts of data but slow dramatically for larger amounts of data. ![]() We recommend drives with 40 MB/s or higher write speeds. The drive cannot keep up with the amount of data that is being sent by Tesla. This is due to using a USB drive with too slow write speeds. Video is distorted or only part of each video frame recorded Ideally, connect the drive for the dashcam directly to one of the two front USB ports or in cars with the Glovebox USB connector, try that location.ģ. Some owners have had success by removing the drive, rebooting (holding both scroll wheels in until the screen goes black) and after the reboot inserting the drive. Many cables are power only and do not pass data. If you are using anything between the USB drive and the Tesla USB connection, try without it. Also, confirm the drive is formatted for FAT32 or exFAT and not NTFS. The most common issue is not placing a folder named “TeslaCam” in the root directory of the flash drive. See our section on Recommendations for drives that are fast enough.Ģ. Note that some drives get slower as they fill up and/or slow when an internal RAM cache cannot keep up with the four video streams. The drive write speed is inadequate and a faster drive is needed.
