The fact that the drive is recognized again when I reseat the cable in the car's USB port would point to either the cable or the car's USB connector rather than the drive. There are two USB connectors in the front console. The other has the Dashcam's microSD card in it and I have experienced no...

Have tried a couple different cables with the same result. There is really no strain on the cable. I think I'll probably just go ahead and try some dielectric grease. Thanks....

That is an answer, but it is not an answer to the question I asked. :-) Anyone else?

Hi folks, I have a SATA SSD with my FLAC's connected to one of the front console USB ports. I'm finding with the colder, damper weather in winter, it is tending to lose its connection and not be recognized by the car upon startup. It will begin working again for a few days if I pull the cable...

"switch to USB".

Interested in this as I'm still on this legacy version myself as a result of becoming completely fed up with Tesla after the V11 release. Not seriously considering upgrading (I don't like it when things break) and I don't want to lose my radar. Things are tolerable right now; Tesla breaking...

Tesla has never really been able to figure out why people would want to listen to their own music collection instead of streaming any old thing, so this condition seems to persist. Of course the fact that they like you paying for premium bandwidth may have something to do with it, but who knows...

"Do the update" I'm quite happy where I am thanks. You want to keep spinning the cylinder and pulling the trigger, be my guest. I'm done with that. Thanks for the help folks!

Thanks to smogne & bo3bdar for the useful posts. I'll hang for a couple weeks and see if the nag bots get bored. If not, I'll def check out the reset option. Thanks again! I am on early V11 (right after they put the seat heater buttons back): 2022.12.3.2. I don't want want them deactivating my...

Hi folks, after the disastrous V11 update I vowed never again and took my car off the wifi. This worked well as the car only nagged to be put back on the network every couple of days or so. Over the weekend I had lunch at a restaurant right next door to a Tesla dealer, and I think it must have...

"people always ask about my S at grocery stores, the country club, etc. No one is asking anyone about their Mercedes or BMW. I get questions all of the time on speed, the yoke, if my car is faster than "X", range, charging costs, etc." It might be nice for you in an ego-stroking kind of way to...

"It’s happened once?" Bent a rim on CA's excellent freeways last year also, although luckily the tire survived. Interesting thought RE: buying warranties on used OEM tires. Suppose it would depend on what they cost...

"But how do they get from "Tire Rack pricing" of $388 to "over $500"?" Mounting, balancing & the Tesla tax I imagine... "And if you're worried about the next pothole, Tire Rack includes 2 years of road hazard insurance for free" Didn't read the fine print on the site, but very good to know...

Finally got a call back from Tesla; they wanted tire rack prices for the tire alone, but over $500 per tire mounted and balanced. I thought about about it but that would lock me into another 4-500$ should this happen again. Went for a pair of Falken FK460's for the front axle instead. $344 for...
