Tesla Utilities

Scripts to improve data management, and backups, of Tesla DashCam footage.

Usage

python3 scripts/dashcam-backup.py --destination="/Volumes/PathToDestinationBackDriveHere" --verbose

Example:

python3 scripts/dashcam-backup.py --destination="/Volumes/TeslaDashCamBackups" --verbose

Notes

Any mounted USB devices that are prefixed with "TESLADRIVE" will all be backed up in sequence. The script should be able to find them dynamically.

Example:

"/Volumes/TESLADRIVE", "/Volumes/TESLADRIVE 1", "/Volumes/TESLADRIVE 2"

Help

-v, --verbose = Verbose output turned to 11, if present. Default: off.

Pending
