You can also format the USB flash drive with a computer
to use a single flash drive for Dashcam, Sentry Mode,
Track Mode (if equipped), and audio files. Create
separate partitions on the drive formatted as exFAT; for
example, one for Dashcam and Sentry Mode (you must
create the
TeslaCam
folder), one for Track Mode (create
the
TeslaTrackMode
folder), and an audio partition.
Once the USB flash drive is formatted and contains the
necessary folder(s), insert it into a front (or glovebox, if
equipped) USB port. Do not use a rear USB port— these
are used only to charge USB devices. Once inserted, it
can take up to 15 seconds for Model 3 to recognize the
flash drive. When recognized, icons for Dashcam and
Sentry Mode are available when you touch
Controls
and
your vehicle is ready to record videos. You may need to
first enable Sentry Mode (if equipped) by touching
Controls
>
Sentry
.
Viewing Video Recordings
You can view recorded footage on the touchscreen
when Model 3 is in Park. Touch the Dashcam icon
located in the app launcher or the Dashcam icon on the
Controls
screen. Touch the menu icon in the top corner
of the screen. The tabs display a list of all video clips,
organized by location and timestamp. Pause, rewind,
fast forward, and delete video recordings as needed.
You can also navigate to
Controls
>
Safety
>
Delete
Dashcam Clips
to delete all dashcam and Sentry Mode
footage, including recent and saved clips.
NOTE:
Dashcam recording pauses when you launch the
Viewer.
You can also view video footage by removing and
inserting the USB flash drive into a computer and
navigating to the TeslaCam or TeslaTrackMode (if
equipped) folder.
The TeslaCam folder contains three sub-folders:
• Recent Clips: When recording, Dashcam continuously
saves footage to Recent Clips in 60-minute cycles.
Footage is overwritten every hour unless you
manually save it. Four videos are recorded for each
clip, one from each camera (front, rear, left, and
right).
NOTE:
Rear camera recordings are available only on
vehicles manufactured after approximately February
2018.
• Saved Clips: Contains all recordings that are saved
using Dashcam.
• Sentry Clips: Contains the last 10 minutes of footage
from all Sentry Mode events that triggered an Alert
or Alarm state. If storage space on the USB flash
drive becomes limited, the oldest Sentry Clips are
deleted to provide space for new ones. Once deleted,
you cannot retrieve them.
When the USB flash drive runs out of storage space,
video footage can no longer be saved. To prevent the
flash drive from getting full, regularly move saved videos
to another device and delete them from the flash drive.
Coat Hangers
Your Model 3 has a coat hanger on each side of the
vehicle in the second row. Push the coat hanger to
release it. Push it again to retract it.
