Elon Musk and Tesla

Musk, the richest man in the world, owns giant innovative firms like the EV maker Tesla and SpaceX.

The tech entrepreneur founded both SpaceX and Tesla. He also currently leads them as its CEO.

However, even as he takes on the highest post on these tech giants, Musk still finds time to be an active user of the social media network Twitter.

The official Twitter account of the tech exec is home to his spiciest and unconventional takes on the hottest topics these days. He also tweeted the upcoming plans and the latest developments on SpaceX and Tesla.

Musk mostly finds time to respond to queries and requests of Twitter users concerning the tech firm he leads.

This time around, the Tesla CEO responds to a Twitter user asking about the annoying bug that makes the dashcam on its EVs unavailable.

Tesla 'Dashcam Unavailable' Bug

As per a recent report by Drive Tesla Canada, numerous owners of Tesla EVs have been reporting a bug that prevents them from using Sentry Mode, which also says that the dash cam is unavailable.

The Tesla news outlet reports that the dashcam bug appears to have been triggered by the 2022.12.3.2 software update. Since it has been rolled out, EV owners have started to see an error prompt that reads: "Dashcam unavailable. Check USB drive."

While the warning message says that the issue has something to do with your USB Drive, Tesla says that it is actually a software issue.

A Tesla Service team member previously acknowledged the dashcam bug, adding that its engineering team is already working hard to fix the software issue.

Tesla Service further explained that the issue has nothing to do with the USB drive of its user. Instead, the software bug is unnecessary unmounting the flash drive. Thus, preventing both the Dashcam and Sentry Mode from working altogether.
