Just got my Model Y yesterday and this video was a life saver. The format option in the Tesla renames the drive correctly, it doesn’t put the needed TeslaCam folder in there and I wouldn’t know about that folder if it wasn’t for your video. Thank you!

WOW WOW WOW! I appreciate you and this video! After hours of trouble shooting, Googling AND EVEN speaking directly with Tesla, I was super frustrated and exhausted - and thought something may be wrong with my vehicle!

THEN YOU CAME ALONG! It’s the last step for me (creating that folder with the specific name - that was the key and one I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else!) Thanks tremendously!

Rob this is super - so simple and clear to follow, thank-you for taking the time (and delighted you started with the Mac version ;o) !)

Thanks for the video, Robert! Picking my Model 3 up next week so I've been watching videos like crazy and came across your channel. Keep it up!

Great video! Three questions...

1) Is it recording all the time or only when you click the camera icon?
2) If it's all the time, does it keep re-writing over the old footage?
3) If it's only when you click the camera icon, how far back does it record?

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I was able to set up my dashcam quickly. I’ve watched several videos but yours was the most helpful!

Thanks for this video. Got my Model 3 a week ago and now it's clear what to do for sentry mode set up.

Thank you so much Rob! Just purchased a model 3 2019. These links and the video have been extremely helpful.

[AceLopez]

Worked! I have a 2021 model and the USB is in the glovebox. Thank you very much!

[Rathompsoniii]

Thanks for making the process easy. You said it would take 5 minutes and I don’t think it even took that long.

Thank you Robert. That was a straight to the point video and I got my Tesla up and running in no time after watching. Best of luck.

[LisaIrby]

Thank you so much! I've been putting this off 'cause I didn't know how to set this up with my Mac.

[atomicclock]

Thank you very much. I looked at numerous videos on how to set this up, and yours did the trick. You put this video together so someone, like me who is not proficient on technology, could set up the drive properly. Thank you very much

Followed this step by step on a Mac and it worked perfectly! Thank you!

I have watched several other videos, they are bits and pieces. Your video is awesome. Thanks man.

Windows 10 would only let me format the drive in ExFAT or NTFS. Neither are compatible with Tesla. You must format in NTFS and then download a free converter app to get the the FAT32 format.

On my new Tesla M3 I'm using the iExpand Sandisk 64GB and had to format it using NTFS with the TeslaCam file. Works perfectly.
