5. In the pop-up menu, select the correct
format (MS-DOS FAT) and click Erase.
Note: Selecting Erase removes all existing
content from your flash drive. If you have
content that you want to keep, you must
move it to a dierent device before
erasing.
6. Once the flash drive is successfully erased,
navigate to Finder and select your USB
flash drive from the left menu. The flash
drive should not contain any files.
7. Right-click in the empty space of the flash
drive and select New Folder. A folder
appears in your flash drive space.
8. Right-click on the folder, select Rename,
and name the folder to “TeslaCam”
(without quotation marks). Click "Save".
This folder will contain all recent and
saved clips from Sentry Mode and
dashcam.
9. Properly eject the USB flash drive.
For Windows:
1. Insert the USB flash drive into your
personal computer.
2. Navigate to File Explorer.
3. Right-click on your USB flash drive and
select "Format...".
4. In the pop-up menu, under the File
System section, select “FAT 32”.
Note: You can also name your USB flash
drive (under Volume Label) for easier
recognition.
5. Check the Quick format box and click
Start.
6. Go back to File Explorer, click on your
flash drive, and right-click to create a
folder, or select New Folder in the top
menu.
7. Name the folder “TeslaCam” (without
quotation marks) and click Save. This
folder will contain all recent and saved
clips from Sentry Mode and dashcam.
8. Properly eject the USB flash drive.
Once you have formatted the USB flash drive
and created the TeslaCam folder, insert it into
one of the front USB ports in Model Y. Do not
use the rear USB ports—they are for charging
only. It may take Model Y up to 15 seconds to
recognize the flash drive. When recognized,
icons for dashcam and Sentry Mode appear at
the top of your touchscreen (note that you
may need to enable Sentry Mode by touching
Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode).
Model Y is ready to record video.
Retrieving Footage
To retrieve video footage from the USB flash
drive, remove the flash drive from the front
USB port and use a personal computer or
other device to access the files. Navigate to
the TeslaCam folder.
Within the TeslaCam folder, there are three
sub-folders:
• Recent Clips - The footage in Recent Clips
continuously loops in 60-minute cycles
whenever the cameras are activate.
Therefore, footage is constantly
overwritten every hour unless you save it.
When an event is recorded, one video is
recorded for each of the front, rear, left,
and right cameras.
• Saved Clips - Contains all recordings that
you have manually saved using Dashcam
on page 78.
• Sentry Clips - Contains all footage from
Sentry Mode events which have been
automatically saved when an Alert or
Alarm state is triggered. The last 10
minutes of an event's footage is saved and
labeled with a unique timestamp.
Note: As the USB flash drive runs out of
available space, the oldest footage in
Sentry Clips is deleted to make room for
new footage. Once deleted, you will be
unable to retrieve them. When the flash
drive is full, Sentry Mode and Dashcam
can no longer save video footage. To
prevent the flash drive from getting full,
you must regularly move saved videos to
another device, and delete them from the
flash drive.
Note: You are responsible for complying with
all local laws, regulations, and property
restrictions regarding video recordings.
Note: The cameras do not record audio.
Save Clips on Honk
Once a properly formatted USB flash drive is
inserted in one of the vehicle's front USB
ports, you can choose to save dashcam clips
while driving when you honk the horn on your
steering wheel. Navigate to Controls > Safety
and Security > Save Clips on Honk > ON to
enable. The most recent ten minutes of
footage is saved. You can also save dashcam
footage by touching the dashcam icon at the
top of the touchscreen.
