Or it only deletes the files when the storage is full? I am a bit confused in this point . Lets say i have a large usb , whats the point of only saving 10 minutes and deleting it when i start the car again? Is it possible to briefly explain how much clips it saves and what does it do when the storage is full? Thank you

    There should be option on the Tesla-App to enable or disable the dashcam-live-view without disabling the sentry-mode. The “live view” drains the battery 🪫 very quickly; Tesla should make it easy to enabling or disabling from its the App. In the future, they should have have a separate dedicated battery 🔋that powers the sentry mode live viewing cameras and systems instead of using the only main battery the Tesla has.

    My ONLY disappointment with my Model 3 is that I cannot chose "USB" as my default music source, because unless Sentry Mode is left on, the USB data port will shut down and the music will default back to streaming or whatever. I prefer to listen to my own favorites on USB as opposed to having to skip through all the junk I don't want on one of the streaming channels. Having to manually re-start USB for my music each day is a drag. So I've been leaving Sentry mode on, but that's not a great solution, either.

Just issue the voice command "USB" from the steering wheel after starting the Tesla and the music on the USB port will begin playing again, right where it left off.

    The newer model Y has USB 3.0. So much 2 and 3yr old info is out there. What is the current specs for the glovebox USB port. I'm shopping for a SSD, but want to know what Tesla really needs as a minimum? Especially on the read rate. Yes, the Sandisk external SSD has a crazy 1000Mbit/sec transfer rate, but micro sdcards can have a wimpy 100Mbit/sec transfer rate. What is the transfer rate of the current flash stick included with the 2023 MY? And also, practically speaking, what sizes are overkill? Like can you actually fill up a 1TB, or even a 500GB drive? Can someone testify to the fact that with occasional honking and people walking around your car in a parking lot that all the real world saved videos after a year don't even amount to 25GB? Remember, it's not a modern dashcam overwriting a filled up file system.

    The image quality of the Tesla cameras is rubbish. Don’t rely on it to record detailed essential information, such as number plates because it doesn’t. The side cameras wash out whenever sunlight hits them and you will see when that happens when a warning shows up on the screen. My advice is that you install a two channel front/rear camera and use the Tesla cameras as backup.
