Took Delivery March 20, 2022. I planned to move the USB music stick from my older Model Y to this new one. It turns out the new one has USB-c ports in the center console. No problem, i have a wire that connects a USB to a USB-c. Plugged it in, but car didnt recognize. Even after a couple reboots. I should note here that my 2022 Tesla Model S has a USB-c port, and i used a similar converter wire to get a regular USB stick to play in that car. Works fine.
Then I RTFMd. Owners Manual in the new Model Y says that the two USB-c ports in rear are for charging only, and there is one in the front of center console for playing from a USB drive. I felt all around in front of center console and could not find any kind of port!
So, drove to the Delivery Center to ask my Delivery guy. He felt around the front of console and couldnt find a port either! Then he asked someone in the Service Dept. No luck. His explanation is that Tesla changes things on these cars all the time, so it is ok if the car doesnt match the Owner's Manual! So, we simply put my USB music stick in the Glove box. This meant removing the Sentry mode stick that was there. And, now i have my USB music back! But very doubtful if Sentry mode can record videos now.
So, have any of you noticed this discrepancy between the car and the Owners Manual? And, have any of you come up with a good solution?
