On a hunch, I changed my energy-saving setting from "on" to "off" yesterday. And what do you know, this morning I find my USB stick has been scanned and is ready to play. So that's still a bug, but one with a workaround. Now instead of being unusable because it's unusable, it's unusable because scrolling through 2868 artists or 1850 albums is completely unworkable.Update: still doesn't work now having added "rename USB stick" and "reorganize root directory" to the list of ways to poke at it. I did verify that if I drop a few tracks onto a different stick, it works fine. I'm torn whether to reformat the stick and start from scratch as my next step, or report it to Tesla as a bug and preserve the stick as-is so the problem can be reproduced. (See how I am optimistically assuming I can get rid of the problem by reformatting the stick and reloading the music? Isn't that cute?)
Given nobody else has reported problems I'm inclined to reformat rather than trying to get a response on a media player bug, though, the USB standard may have been deprecated before they get around to triaging much less working on it. By the way, have others had success with large-ish libraries? (Mine is 200 GB or so, roughly 25k tracks.)
I'll make sure I can reproduce the bug and assuming I can, I'll send it in to Tesla. I also intend to complain about the egregious UX fail. Is servicehelpna still the gold standard for where to send your bug reports to have them ignored, or is there some better option people know of? I suppose there's @elonmusk on Twitter.
