STOP Using the Stock Tesla USB! (Sentry Mode Fail)

Stop relying on the factory Tesla USB drive!

I found damage on my 2024 Tesla Model Y, but Sentry Mode had NO footage because the stock 128GB drive had already overwritten the clips.

In this video, I’ll show you why every Tesla owner needs to upgrade to a 1TB SSD to ensure your dashcam and Sentry Mode recordings are actually there when you need them. This is a step-by-step install and formatting guide for the best Tesla storage upgrade.
