Plus, Samsung to offer new USB Type-C Flash Drive in the 512GB capacity later this year, rounding out its USB Flash Drive portfolio

Samsung bar plus 512GB is coming to market very soon, I wait for it instead of buying the Kingston model since it is too long so other stuff in glove box would hit it and it would be disconnected.

I bought a 512 GB Samsung High Endurance SD Card last week. I formatted for exFAT and had the TeslaCam folder, but it didn't see it (not even to format it within the car). I'm not sure why it didn't work, as I know others have used > 2TB SSD drives, so the size was not an issue. My prior 128 GB High Endurance SD card worked fine. It wasn't a big deal, as it never gets fully anyway (HW3). Perhaps it is some limitation of my Hub.

I just moved the new 512 GB SD Card to my BlackVue dashcam, which works fine. I have a 4K dashcam in addition to the Tesla dashcam - it does a better job at picking out details like license plate text and uploads the video each day when I get home and connect to WiFi.

Did you plug it into the right port? Not all work.

Yep - used the glove box. That said, it's possible the hub was the problem. The same hub works fine for a 512 GB music SD Card and a 128 GB TeslaCam SD Card. When I replaced the 128 GB TeslaCam SD Card with a 512 GB, the car would not see TeslaCam. There was nothing special that I could figure out as it was exFAT and had the TeslaCam folder. A mystery for another day!
