Why Solid State Drives?
The solid state drives (SSDs) we use are perfect for Dashcam systems. These drives are rugged, built to withstand extreme heat and cold, which is perfect for being left in a car year round, and have a read/write speed that far surpasses the minimum Tesla requirement (4 MB/sec).
SSDs are also capable of being partitioned, allowing you to use a segment of your storage for music or for Tesla's Boombox feature.
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. Our solid state drives are high capacity (500 GB) and highly reliable (3-5 year life expectancy).
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). Tesla does offer an upgrade to both the Autopilot system and the MCU, which would enable Dashcam recording. Contact Tesla Service for more information.
No, your Pure Tesla USB drive comes entirely pre-formatted for TeslaCam.
Simply open the package and plug the USB drive into your Tesla. That's it!
One minute of footage has a typical size of 30 MB. Using that metric:
500 GB – Approximately 280 hours of footage.
International shipments going through customs are subject to inspection and, depending on your countries import policies, may be assessed import fees/VAT upon arrival and are the responsibility of the customer. This only applies to specific countries.

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.

I ordered from the US because there was no similar formatted version available in the UK – quite unbelievable given the number of Teslas in London. Not even the Tesla site offers these. In any case ordering from the US and paying duty was still cheaper than ordering an unformatted drive in the UK. I plugged and bingo, the icon appeared and I was off! Really could not have been simpler. And despatch was very prompt and delivery quick. Highly recommended.

Works great; I just plugged it in and my MX showed it connected. Note that it took a few seconds for the Tesla to recognize it; so just be patient and it should work.
