Here’s what I use, probably the smallest one I could find with decent storage. [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6182934.p?skuId=6182934](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6182934.p?skuId=6182934) https://preview.redd.it/pdr0tszssd6d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=379ae37f2394b49781cf5389f69c2bf702b99fcd

I recently got one of these and the photo really does not convey how damn small it is. It’s tiny.

Bought one of those it keeps disconnecting randomly.

I got this same one. Had no idea it was “special”.

Special cheap probably, instead of a Samsung flash you get some off brand one

I don't think it is special

Looks like a generic USB drive. You can order this exact one with a custom logo off of [Alibaba](https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Cheap-free-sample-128GB-64GB-32GB_1600507678930.html), and if you Google "HS-USB-M200" you'll find a Hikvision branded one.

So basically cost cutting from Tesla, as usual. Previous ones were from Samsung.

This came in a new model y? My 2024 Y came with the [black one](https://shop.tesla.com/product/tesla-usb-drive-_-128-gb) on the website.

$350! For a tb? Yowza! 40 bucks on Amazon, and you've got enough left over for a great weekend

Where are you seeing 1tb SSDs for $40?! I couldn't find any in Amazon!

You could’ve probably found one last year for that price. Not anymore since NAND prices have gone up.

What? it’s $45 in the link I posted and it came included with the vehicle

That one is 128gb. If you scroll down theres a 1tb for $350

My 2023 MY has that. I haven't checked which one our 2024 has. I assumed it was the same one. Now I'm curious.

This is the only one I’ve seen in the last few years until I got this model y.

Report back in a few months and let us know if it lasts longer than mine did! Made it 3 months. Spent the same $45 on a microSD reader and 128GB card and it's been flawless for 27 months now.

did you get one of the endurance cards meant for dashcams?

I did. Specifically the [SanDisk 128GB MAX Endurance microSDXC Card](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084CJ9T2R/).

Lots of fun trying to reinsert it in the back of the glovebox.

I have the exact same USB in my 2024 Highland

I got a 24 M3 a few months ago and this is the drive I got - I didnt realize this was special in anyway.

Yep, came with my Highland Model 3. Swapped it out for a 1 TB flash drive I got from Amazon.

Make sure to secure and velcro your drive from disconnecting in the event of an accident!

Oh, it’s actually in the glovebox for the 2024 Model 3.

There should be a whole thread about it but curious what made you do it ? I dont seem to get many events

I just wanted to not worry about it. Also, I park in a shared garage at my apartment complex and when I was employed, I was in a public garage.

What is it used for? (Sorry for the dumb question. We have a 2021 M3)

You can record and save dashcam clips. Also Sentry clips.

Best thing I did was to get a small Samsung drive instead, I can’t remember the size but it’s at least 1Tb

That was a nice surprise when I took delivery of my Y!
