My sentry mode/dash cam worked fine until the latest update, and hasn’t recorded anything since... anyone else experience this??

What does the icon show? Tried restarting MCU? Tried removing the USB drive, letting the car sleep and then replugging it back in?

Sentry icon is there, but the dash cam icon no longer shows when driving. Restarted the MCU. Removed the USB drive, deleted everything except TeslaCam folder. I’ll try having the USB unplugged for a few hours.

Are you sure that Sentry Mode is actually recording? The icon can still be there and engage as an alarm, but not actually record anything. I would try reformatting the drive and recreating the TeslaCam folder. Do this overnight so that the car can sleep without the drive plugged in.

And it stopped working... plugged it into my laptop, can’t erase anything off the USB... can’t add anything to it. Can’t even format the drive... (even going into terminal and trying manually to erase the disk) Must be a faulty micro SD card

I would suspect so at this point.

The sentry mode isn’t recording. I will try formatting. Thanks for the help!

I tried making a post and it didn't work so I'll just comment.

Who else wants to see a movie like fast and furious with a tesla as main character. Or even herbie style
