How to Access the Tesla Dashcam?
2 Answers
As long as the vehicle is in P gear, the owner can view previously recorded footage by clicking the dashcam icon and selecting the 'Start Viewer' button. In this mode, users can freely switch between the footage recorded by the four cameras around the vehicle and play them simultaneously. Below is an introduction to the dashcam: The dashcam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dashcam, it can record the entire process of driving, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence in case of traffic accidents. For those who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to document the process of overcoming difficult and dangerous situations. It continuously records while driving, simultaneously capturing time, speed, and location in the recording, functioning much like a 'black box'.
When I first drove a Tesla, I also pondered this question. To access the dashcam footage while parked, the simplest way is to tap the camera icon at the top of the screen. If you encounter a special situation while driving and need to save the recording, just press and hold the camera icon on the screen with your right hand for three seconds—you'll hear a confirmation sound indicating it's saved. By the way, to view the recordings anytime, you need to prepare a USB drive in advance and plug it into the front USB port for the car's system to format it. This design is actually quite user-friendly. Last time I encountered a sideswipe incident, I just pressed the button after parking and pulled up the footage as evidence. I recommend new owners get familiar with this feature—it really comes in handy during critical moments.
