I am running out of ideas how to get the USB drive recognized in my wife's 2021 Tesla Y.
About a year ago the originally purchased USB drive worked fine but recently when I drove it I noticed the little red X on the drive icon. (My wife never told me about this since this is her car and she does not pay attention to many things on the car. Therefore I do not know how long the USB drive has not been working.)
This Tesla Y is running 2022.44.30.10 software and has the USB drive slot in the center console under the phone charge location, not glove box.
We had originally used a Micro SD card with a USB 2.0 drive and this worked at least until last year when I viewed some footage on Sentry Mode. I tested it numerous times and Sentry Mode was working last year.
Last week I noticed the red X and started doing some research. My initial though is the original USB drive is rather cluncky and since my wife stores things in the storage location, I theorized it was knocking the drive slightly our of its drive slot.
So after reading numerous forums, I decided to purchase a 512gb Scandisk Ultra Fit. I figured this low profile would work better and not come loose.
The drive seems to format properly via the Tesla software on the Y. I confirmed this by viewing the drive on my Mac and it shows the drive name as "TESLADRIVE" and format as exFat which I believe are all correct. There are no drive partitions and the drive is empty even though I tried recording someone on it via honking the horn (option enabled) before viewing on Mac,
Yet the icon in the lower screen still has the red X. Clearly something is wrong.
I have tried a complete power down of the Y but this'd not fix the issues. I am open to suggestions on fixing the issue.
