White Cybertruck crashes head first into traffic light post. Totaled.

Dashcam records video footage of your vehicle's surroundings while driving. Use Dashcam to record driving incidents or other notable events, like you would for an external dashcam on other vehicles.

The Dashcam icon is located in the app launcher. You can add the Dashcam app to the bottom bar for easy access (see Customizing My Apps). When Cybertruck is in Park, touching the Dashcam icon displays the Viewer (see Viewing Video Recordings).


To protect your privacy, video recordings are saved locally to a formatted USB flash drive's onboard memory. Recordings are not sent to Tesla. Cybertruck does not record videos when Dashcam is Off.

• Note
  Several factors determine whether Dashcam automatically saves a recording of a safety-critical event (for example, amount of force, whether or not airbags deploy, etc.). Do not rely on Dashcam to automatically record all safety-critical events.
  
• Manual: You must manually touch the Dashcam icon to save a recording of the most recent ten minutes of footage.
• On Honk: When you press the horn, Dashcam saves a recording of the most recent ten minutes of footage. You can enable this along with Auto or Manual simultaneously.
• Once enabled, the Dashcam icon indicates when footage is saved. You can also view the status of the Dashcam icon in Controls.

According to the manual there should be 10 mins of footage automaticly saved before the accident since the air bags were in fact deployed.
The question remains to be answered. If in fact the dashcam did capture any off this event?
and if so was it automatically. or did the driver have the mental capacity after such a devastating crash to remember to push the dash cam icon provided that there still is one after the steering wheel explodes to release the air bag.
