Tesla Dashcam Not Recording Events

If you are missing clips, start with the simple stuff before blaming the car.

If you are missing clips, start with the simple stuff before blaming the car. Make sure the Dashcam button is set to Auto or that you are saving clips manually after an event. Check Sentry Mode settings and confirm that Home is not excluded if you expect events while parked at home. Finally, verify the TeslaCam folder structure (RecentClips, SavedClips, SentryClips). If those folders are missing, reformat the drive.
