Do Tesla Dashcams Record Audio
Short answer, no. Tesla Dashcam clips are video only.
Short answer: no, Tesla dashcam clips are video-only. Tesla's privacy notice states that Sentry Mode does not record audio, and the Dashcam clips saved to your USB drive are silent as well. If you need audio for insurance or legal reasons, you will need a third-party dashcam. Remember that audio recording rules vary by state, so check local laws before adding a mic-enabled camera.
