Dashcam SD card with reader Tesla Model S/3/X/Y

Dashcam card reader UGREEN with Sandisk SD card 128 GB, formatted for Tesla Model S/3/X/Y Dashcam from Autopilot AP 2.5

This card reader with SD card was preformatted by us specifically for the Tesla Dashcam function. Insert the card reader with SD card into the USB port and off you go. No further installation necessary. After inserting the card reader, the dashcam symbol appears automatically after a few seconds, see image gallery.

Thanks to its optimal width, the slim card reader offers enough space for the use of the adjacent USB port.

front camera
A new function allows the recording and permanent storage of video clips from the front camera on a USB storage medium.

Save:

Insert the pre-configured USB storage device into one of the front row USB ports.
After a few seconds, a red dot will appear in the dashboard camera icon in the status bar to indicate that the data has been saved.
Please note that the USB stick must be inserted to save while driving.

Tap the icon to save a 10-minute video clip, or press and hold to pause recording. Recordings not downloaded from the camera within an hour will be lost. A video takes up about 30 MB per minute; the 1-hour recording loop memory requires about 1.8 GB of free space.) The camera is only available for Model S, 3, and Model X manufactured after August 2017 with at least Autopilot AP 2.5.


guard mode
The video recordings from the guard mode are saved on a USB stick in the same way as with the dashcam function. This must be connected to one of the two front USB ports. With dashcam or guard mode, the recordings from the front camera and the two cameras facing the side and rear are saved. One minute of image recording requires 30 MB of storage space per camera. Since the dashcam only saves data for 60 minutes while driving and then overwrites the oldest data, the following space is required for the dashcam function on the USB stick:

60 minutes * 30 MB * 3 cameras = ~5400 MB (=5.4 GB) for one hour of continuous recording of the dashcam.

10 minutes * 30 MB * 3 cameras = ~900 MB (=0.9 GB) for a manual 10-minute recording by pressing the dashcam button.

The guard mode also saves 10 minutes of video material from three cameras for each detected threat. That means 900 MB per incident. A USB stick that is too small can fill up very quickly. In addition, the videos saved in the guard mode cannot be deleted in the vehicle. This currently only works by plugging the stick into a PC and deleting the files manually.

In order to avoid having to constantly delete the videos, we recommend using the following USB stick size:


64 GB for dashcam and 1-2x per week guard mode use.
128 GB for dashcam and frequent guard mode use.
256 GB for dashcam and daily guard mode use.

2-4 working days within Germany.
For all other EU countries, 3-7 working days apply.
