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
Tesla vehicles that have AP2.5 hardware or later are compatible with recording video to a USB drive.
AP2.5 hardware started shipping on Tesla vehicles starting in August 2017, with a full conversion in October 2017.
USB recording is NOT compatible with AP1.0 or AP2.0 hardware (vehicles manufactured before August 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.

Great service from PureTesla. The USB drive is top of the line and I appreciated not having to format it.
Giampaolo (verified owner) –
Worked as expected right away! Before getting this drive I unsuccessfully tried to format one of the drives recommended in the owner manual using a Mac and a Windows computer. The Pure Tesla product worked flawlessly

Worked perfectly in our new Model Y
David O. (verified owner) –
Seems perfect – order came quickly and drive was recognized by car (Model Y) immediately, seems to be working great so far. I was going to order USB drive and SD separately and assemble myself, but Pure Tesla was so much easier, barely cost me anything more, and gave me the confidence to know I’d be getting the correct parts.
Highly recommend!

Great product, fast delivery

Arrived on time, easy to install and works great. Even though it uses a port, you plug a device into this so you don’t decrease the number of usb devices you can plug in.

Item arrived quickly for an international delivery. Just plugged it in and it works. Awesome.
Jenine M. (verified owner) –

Everything worked as promised

So far, so good. Only had this installed for a couple of days, but it seems to be working as expected. Previous flash drive through another company failed after 6 months, so I’m optimistic this one will not do the same.
