The question is if it was security camera footage from the facility or from the cybertruck itself. One is fine, one clearly is not.
Here's your answer. It's not a new thing.

it's the first one (that i know of), however musk also said that telemetry looked normal until it burned, which is not fine in any sensible way
It is not. Unfortunately seems if you don't like it, your only options are a decade old car or a bike.

That raises a new question. Did they stream the footage from the exploded cybertruck after the fact (i.e. the computer and storage were still fine), or are they endlessly streaming the footage into their own cloud storage so the explosion couldn't have affected it?
The latter seems unlikely, because that's a huge data storage cost. But the more I learn the more I wonder.
The in-car footage of the driver is for insurance reasons. If the Autopilot crashes, the footage will show that the driver was not paying attention or did not have the hands on the wheel, therefore it's not teslas but the drivers fault.

I was specifically referring to security cameras. Cameras at the un-manned charging site, recording video only in a public area where there is no expectation of privacy. Any gas station would have the same.
Now other commenters have pointed out they likely accessed the footage from the truck itself. This is a different ballpark.
