I have a question to this forum:
1. Is Sentry functionality -- set to off when at "home" location -- is this working on CT? I set it (like on my MYP) but I have to manually turn it off when park at home (to preserve battery drain). I just want inputs from CT owners, to know if I should place a service ticket (or wait for OTA).
2. I got an error over the weekend about disk is full, no video record, I reformat the drive -- hopefully this will resolve the issue... Does anyone encounter the same issue? Or do I have a faulty flash drive.

Inputs from CT owners are appreciated.

I want to start by saying this was over the past week, with I believe 3 updates (2024.8.8, 2024.8.9, and 2024.8.12). It was over a day after the last update (2024.8.12) that this issue worked itself out, so I don’t think the update fixed it.

I was having issues with my sentry system, saying it recorded events but nothing or only showing events from days earlier. I put the flash drive in my computer, the computer said something about the drive needing some correction, then I put it back in the truck reformatted (with “success”), no luck, things got worse. The drive would say so many number of sentry events with nothing recorded. I bought a 2Tb SSD drive. Same issue, however I needed to make a new folder on it after it was reformatted (TeslaCam). Now it was recording on the drive but if I opened the app in the truck it would show nothing. I put a service request in. Tesla texts me a couple days later asking if I reformatted etc, I was like ya of course. But for the hell of it while I was texting I went out to the truck to check the sentry app, and it was working, perfectly fine… so idk if it self righted or if Tesla did something, but it’s good to go.
