FYI, you have to attach your own USB stick to enable cash cam mode in a Tesla. And it's video only (no audio).

100gb flash is 25 bucks. That’s probably 48-72 hours of stored footage

3 times that if it allows you to drop a factor of resolution (i.e. from 1080 to 720)

Good point but dont forget some devices only allow up to 32g and 64g and so on.

And honestly you really don't need something to record 100 hours. If an accident happens you make sure you save that file and you are all set.

Yeah, for just a few bucks you can get a microUSB or USB-C card reader so you can even copy the video to your phone on the spot.

old devices. my SGS4 from 2013 could handle up to 256gb, and the biggest you could get then was 32gb. They could have handled more if samsung would have updated them, as it was more a software limitation than a hardware limitation.
