Access to the USB drive has had problems off and on since we got our cars in 2020. Everything is find for months and several updates. Then, it doesn’t work or works intermittently for several months and several updates. Then it works again for months. Then back to not working. And so on...

This USB unavailable error has happened off and on to my 2020 Model 3 and less often to my wife's 2020 Model Y. Hardware failures of some kind are possible, of course. But, every cause and subsequent fix so far has been car software updates. We are both having problems right now for the last...

A slightly tangential question... This thread has great information but appears to only describe a noise as the problem, not some sort of mechanical failure. Is the problem only the noise? Or is the noise an indicator of a failure or pending failure?

This was my solution. My 2020 Model 3 started making a whistle noise at over 40 MPH or so. I thought it was a window seal problem. Then, one day the weather was nice and I drove with the window down. The whistle was louder. I could reach up and over the arm holding the side mirror and the...

There are long threads of USB drive recommendations here on this site. A simple search should get to one of them. That said, we have Samsung T7 SSD drives in our Model 3 and Model Y. They work find and reliably, even in the Arizona hot summers.

Thanks for the experience report.

You are correct. “Fight it off” is pretty easy. Lift the right stalk up or tap the brake or turn the steering wheel.

(Would be better for you to have posted this as a new thread. That would keep this thread topic clear AND give more visibility to your question. But, I'll go along.) With Sentry Mode (I think) or Tesla Cam enabled, the car is constantly recording and saving the last one hour of video from the...

Model 3 (and Model Y) don't have air suspension.

Please read the thread. Answers to your questions are there.

I didn’t discuss it. Maybe I mentioned it. Was not a factor for my issues. I check my pressure regularly and would have confirmed good pressures during my investigations. It’s a good thought to check!

I hope this gets figured out for you. And I'm enjoying the updates.
