Initially, the Dashcam will display the little camera icon with a red dot on it, indicating that it is recording. In addition to allowing the driver to control the Dashcam, the new icon also displays the status. When the car detects the properly formatted USB drive, a new icon pops up in the status bar that looks like a little GoPro camera. When the car is on, a little Dashcam icon will show up in the status bar with a red dot to show that it is recording. Insert the USB drive into either of the front-row USB ports in the car.ĥ. After the drive is formatted, create a new root-level folder on the drive called TeslaCam and eject the drive from the computer.Ĥ.

The one time you need it, you don’t want to find out that the drive is corrupted or has failed.Ģ. Because of this, we recommend the use of high endurance and high write speed USB drives for the Dashcam. That is a ton of wear on the drive and really puts both the write speed and the write cycles of a drive to the test. Remember, you’ll be constantly writing and overwriting gigabytes of data each time the car is driven. This isn’t explicitly mentioned by Tesla, but is perhaps the most important factor in the operation of Dashcam. As it’s not just plug and play, we will take you through the process of getting the new DashCam setup. Dashcam takes advantage of the built-in cameras that come with the car to allow drivers to actively record video onto a properly configured USB drive. Tesla rolled out version 9.0 of its in-car firmware a few days ago, which included the new Dashcam feature.
