Cabin Overheat Protection is to protect ALL of your electronics. Most of which cost far more to replace than some $10 throw-away external USB drive you're so hung up on. The default is on from the factory but I guess you know more than Tesla engineers about these types of things... right? If you disable that to save a buck or two a month on energy it's you who is the genius.
Not sure why you're attacking me personally & being rude considering it's pretty clear that you have no idea what you're talking about on this subject in this thread. On the other hand, I've worked in the IT industry at various capacities over the last few decades and have untold time deploying, optimizing and trouble shooting the exact devices of which you speak. Never mind that you clearly know nothing other than random spec sheets you Google'd up.
Buying a drive type based solely on being worried about a couple of degrees while simultaneously disabling the cabin heat overprotection of a computer on wheels that costs tens of thousands of dollars has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum. Good thing you bought that drive that can take a couple of degrees more since it's the only piece of electronics in the car. /sarcasm
Sorry I helped. Enjoy your USB drive champ.
It uses air conditioning to cool down Cabin, that is all it does, most of us only has usb flash drive in Cabin, just buy usb flash drive that works like 60 degrees and no need to burn car battery for air conditioning to make SSD works.
