> 24 hourFor owners of 2018 model 3. The only USB ports you can use are the two in the center counsel. I read some where that there was a USB port in the glovebox. There isnt. Also, the two USB ports on the back can only charge a phone. It cant communication with USB devices.

> 24 hourI bought a reasonably priced USB memory stick for my 18 Model X and it gave me nothing but problems. It would lose connectivity with the car or I would get messages the speed of the USB was too slow sometimes. I also found the viewer app when trying to review the USB data did not always work. Since switching to the SentryCam USB drive all those issues have gone away pure and simple. I just plugged it into one of the USB ports on the center console and it all just worked. Price is fairly reasonable given the performance and the design is fairly compact compared to other USB options of the same capacity.

> 24 hourI got this for my 2018 Model 3. The Tesla formats a flash drive easily enough but if you just want to plug it in and have it work right away, this is for you. I plugged it in and moments later made a clip to test and it was already working. I like that it says SentryCam on it too... :) The small size sits nicely inside the USB Hub I had added and firmly into the USB port. I replaced a SanDisk thats been in there for a couple of years now. What I didnt expect was how much faster this is. Accessing videos with my older flash was sluggish at best. This works almost instantly to retrieve and play the video clips. I figured it was just my older M3 but it was my old flash.

> 24 hourThe SentryCam for Tesla 64GB USB flash drive saves you the trouble of formatting a thumb drive to exFAT and adding a directory. That only saves a few seconds, but you wont confuse this one with another drive you may have because of its unique shape. It works great. Dont wait. Also, every time you are about to leave a parking space, do a quick walk around your car and playback the video if you see a dent. I didnt notice that someone must have dropped something heavy on my passenger side front fender (maybe a TV box or something at Costco). I didnt notice it for a month or two so didnt catch the culprit. It would probably cost $1000 to really fix it right (dent, paint). Ill just buff it out a bit and live with it. Dont do what I did. Get this now and check your car every time.

> 24 hourBasically, it is a 64GB thumb drive - which you can use as the drive for your Teslas sentry mode, or you can use it as a regular USB thumb drive. Up to you! The one piece metallic/plastic construction is nice and stylish.

> 24 hourThe USB drive comes pre formatted for your Tesla. Just plugged it in and it worked. Storage is more than enough for its purpose.

> 24 hourI got this for my brother-in-law who owns a Tesla 3. This metal USB flash drive will come in handy in case of an emergency & requires no set-up as its already synched up to meet Tesla specifications. Its small & compact, about the size of a large paper clip & will easily fit into your storage compartment. Plus, it has 64GB of storage so you can start using it immediately. The storage capability is more than adequate for everyday use for reading & writing data onto the drive & this flash drive will work well with Teslas Dash Cam and Sentry Mode.

> 24 hourIf you want something easy to set up and don’t mind that you can’t save a lot of video files (the oldest ones will be written over, unless they are tagged as saved video) then this is a good product to get. However, if you spend a bit more, you can get something like a 1 TB external SSD hard drive and plug it in to a USB port and reformat the drive to record the car camera video. In either case, you will be able to remove the storage device and plug it in to a computer to view the files away from the car.
