What our customers say:
All our TeslaCam drives fit in the Jeda Hub (including the hidden TeslaCam compartment)
Why microSD cards?
The microSD drives we use are designed for Dashcam systems. These cards are rugged, built to withstand extreme heat and cold, which is perfect for being left in a car year round, and have a write speed that far surpasses the minimum Tesla requirement (4 MB/sec).
Regular USB flash drives cannot withstand the constant recording that takes place with Dashcam systems and will fail…probably when you need it the most. microSD cards, specifically those in this package, are up to the task and can handle the burden.
Dashcam and Sentry Mode captures...
- Accidents
- Hit and Run
- Unusual occurances
…and so much more.
- Theft
- Keying
- Door Dings
Frequently Asked Questions

AP2.5 hardware started shipping on Tesla vehicles starting in August 2017, with a full conversion in October 2017.

Dashcam is a system built into your Tesla. When a properly formatted USB drive (like the one we sell) is inserted into the USB port in your Tesla, the car will start recording from the front, left, right, and rear cameras.
The system retains the most recent hour of footage before overwriting itself.
To save footage, simply tap the Dashcam icon (small camera with red dot) and the last 10 minutes of footage will be saved permanently to the SavedClips folder on the drive. It will remain until you delete it.
Sentry Mode, when enabled, monitors your Tesla while it is parked and locked. When a potential threat is detected, the system enters Alert state, which starts the four cameras recording (front, left, right, rear) and also displays a message on the center screen.
If the threat becomes physical (entering vehicle, damage, etc) it will enter Alarm state and will activate the lights, horn, and music in the car.
Video clips from both Alert and Alarm states are saved to the SentryClips folder on your USB drive. The oldest clips overwrite when the drive fills up.

This USB drive is a no brainer if you want to “plug and play”. I formatted 2 other USB drives without issues. But this is so easy. Highly recommended.

It was so nice to just be able to open the package and plug it in! Thank you for making such an easy product for us all. The only thing I would like to be different, it the length of it prevents me from closing the center console, but that doesn’t really both us much. Again, thank you so much for making a product that makes our lives easier 🙂

It has taken me a while to write this because I was waiting for my TapTes USB hub to ship from China. It finally arrived and as Jeff Herb from PureTesla said their stick fit perfectly. I ordered Pure Tesla’s storage system for TesCAM and Sentry then realized that it might not fit in the hub that I had purchased. Jeff emailed me right back with the confirmation that it would fit. I was unsure but he was kind enough to talk me through my doubt.
The hub cam it fit perfectly and the PureTesla storage device was a plug and play system exactly as Jeff and their website had said. I now have a great video of someone passing me on the median while I am driving home at 80 MPH.
A phenomenal product and a company and support staff that cares.
