NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Dashcam or the
features may not operate exactly as described. It is your
sole responsibility to consult and comply with all local
regulations and property restrictions regarding the use
of cameras.
Dashcam records video footage of your vehicle's
surroundings while driving. Use Dashcam to record
driving incidents or other notable events, like you would
for an external dashcam on other vehicles.
The Dashcam icon is located in the app launcher. You
can add the Dashcam app to the bottom bar for easy
access (see Customizing My Apps on page 12). When
Cybertruck is in Park, touching the Dashcam icon
displays the Viewer (see Viewing Video Recordings on
page 145).
To protect your privacy, video recordings are saved
locally to a formatted USB flash drive's onboard
memory. Recordings are not sent to Tesla. Cybertruck
does not record videos when Dashcam is O.
How to Use Dashcam
1.
Format a USB flash drive. Dashcam requires a
properly formatted USB drive inserted in your
vehicle's USB port to store and retrieve footage.
There are two ways to format the
flash drive if
needed:
◦
Insert the flash drive into the USB port and
navigate to Controls > Safety > Format USB Drive.
Cybertruck automatically formats the flash drive
for you.
◦
Format the flash drive on a computer. See USB
Drive Requirements for Recording Videos on page
145 for more information.
2.
Insert the USB flash drive into your vehicle's USB
port, preferably the one in the glovebox .
3. Enable Dashcam by touching Controls > Dashcam.
Dashcam allows you to choose how and when
footage is saved. You can choose between:
◦
Auto: Dashcam automatically saves a recording to
the USB drive when Cybertruck detects a safety-
critical event, such as a collision or airbag
deployment. When Auto is selected, detection can
vary and is subject to your vehicle's power, sleep,
and Autopilot state.
NOTE:
Several factors determine whether
Dashcam automatically saves a recording of a
safety-critical event (for example, amount of force,
whether or not airbags deploy, etc.). Do not rely
on Dashcam to automatically record all safety-
critical events.
◦
Manual: You must manually touch the Dashcam
icon to save a recording of the most recent ten
minutes of footage.
◦
On Honk: When you press the horn, Dashcam
saves a recording of the most recent ten minutes
of footage. You can enable this along with Auto or
Manual simultaneously.
4. Once enabled, the Dashcam icon indicates when
footage is saved. You can also view the status of the
Dashcam icon in

The icon changes to show the status of Dashcam:

touch the Dashcam icon in the app launcher.
Videos are organized by timestamp. See Viewing
Video Recordings on page 145 for more
information.
