Tesla amplía significativamente la grabación continua de su Dashcam: hasta 24 horas de vídeo con discos de 1 TB o más

Tesla is preparing a long-awaited improvement: the end of the arbitrary 1-hour limit on Dashcam rolling footage. According to internal software builds seen in China and reported by Not a Tesla App on February 3, 2026, the system will switch to dynamic recording that automatically adjusts retention based on the connected USB/SSD capacity.

How will dynamic recording work?

• 128 GB → up to ~3 hours of rolling buffer
• 1 TB or larger → up to 24 hours of rolling buffer

The car calculates available space in real time (minus manually saved Dashcam and Sentry clips) and uses the rest for recent footage before overwriting — using practically the full drive instead of leaving gigabytes unused.

Requirements and limitations

• Recommended: quality SSD with sustained write speed ≥ 4 MB/s.
• Older Intel Atom vehicles may not reach maximum retention due to hardware limits (Tesla says it will keep monitoring these units).
• The feature appears in internal builds and may arrive soon via OTA, possibly within weeks.

Community reaction

Owners have wanted this for years, especially with 1–2 TB drives where most storage sat idle. Typical comments on X include praise for finally matching buffer size to disk capacity.

This strengthens Dashcam and Sentry Mode as safety and evidence tools for incidents, theft, or vandalism — letting you review events many hours later without pressing save.
