Do current models log camera data ongoing, or does it take user intervention to actually save imagery recorded?
If it’s ongoing, how long is the data retained for? |

You can trigger download by hitting the save button or pressing the horn that will save a clip as well.

Thanks - can you advise, is it also triggered to save by impact/shock? If so, what level of sensitivity is normal?
I’m assuming from your remarks that sentry/dashcam is default “off”. |

Older cars needed you to put a USB drive to start saving clips. From about 2021, they come fitted with a USB stick and have Sentry/Dashcam on by default unless you set a rule (like I have set not to use Sentry when I'm parked at home). Sentry saps about 0.5% battery per hour or so. Depends on activity the car is witnessing. The cameras are always running unless you tell it not to.

Brilliant, so many thanks.
I had a ‘23 Model Y pull a dumb stunt the other week that resulted in impact. From your descriptions of operation and defaults, it sounds like the ten minute window will nicely show their illegal right turn and subsequent U-turn, seconds prior. |

If you log it with Tesla via legal channels, if there is an impact, the car will save it to memory outside of the USB device too. But getting that from Tesla is hard unless there was a fatality.

I did a delivery the other day and there was a Tesla parked within 5 foot steps of where I was standing, so I went over to look in the passenger side window to find myself being displayed on the centre screen. I thought, Man, that's a neat thing. Wish I had that in my FG... Maybe one day. On a side note, I watched a Tesla driver crank a right hand 90 degree turn and noticed it looked "heavy". Was wondering, no I haven't bothered looking it up, what they weigh. I was also following another Tesla from behind and noticed it's vertical suspension travel, attitude if you will, over bumps seemed again, heavy.. or heavier than a non battery powered car.

The Model 3 is about the weight of a G6E LPG Falcon. The 3 Performance is about the same weight as at the GT. The Model Y is lighter than a Territory. They aren't that heavy at all.
