Have you ever considered getting a dashcam for your Tesla? With the increasing popularity of dashcams, it's no surprise that Tesla owners are wondering whether their car needs an additional one. While Tesla does offer a built-in dashcam feature, it's not without its limitations. In this article, we'll explore the benefits and drawbacks of using Tesla's built-in dashcam and whether it's worth investing in an additional one.
First, let's take a closer look at Tesla's built-in dashcam feature. The feature, known as "TeslaCam," uses the car's built-in cameras to record footage of the car's surroundings. The footage is saved to a USB drive plugged into the car's console and can be viewed and downloaded later. While this feature is certainly convenient, it does have some limitations. For example, the footage can only be accessed when the car is parked. Additionally, the footage can be overwritten if the USB drive runs out of space, so it's important to regularly transfer the footage to another device.
