TESLA

The brand already offers a 1TB solid state drive at its official online store, which costs US$ 350

Automakers are known for their commitment to value-added branded accessories, and Tesla is no exception. Having announced yesterday the availability of games from the Stream catalog for owners of restyled versions of Model S and Model X, it began to take orders for a branded 1 TB solid state drive, which costs $ 350 in the official online store(picture above ).

However, while you can only place a pre-order, direct delivery of the accessory will begin in February of next year. The automaker points out that the device was designed to work inside vehicles and, therefore, tolerates extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks without problems. It must be placed in the glove compartment; the package includes a cable with USB type A (female) and type C (male) connectors for connection to the on-board multimedia system.

You can store not only games on the drive, but also recordings from on-board cameras, which, in armed mode, record everything that happens around the car and inside it. Such records can occupy an impressive amount, so the storage capacity reaches 1TB. Previously, car owners connected third-party drives to Tesla's on-board system, now they have the opportunity to purchase a branded solid-state drive. True, if a third-party solution can be bought for $100, a branded one costs three and a half times as much.

Tesla stresses that its drive offers extended operating life and data read and write speeds are optimized for gaming. It will allow owners of restyled Tesla Model X and Model S to store Steam Deck compatible games, as the in-flight entertainment system holds content with just 16GB of storage. Tesla's drive is compatible with all models of the brand's electric vehicles, as reported on the automaker's website.
