Try partitioning and formatting “differently”.

I was using Windows with 3rd party tool and it was very unstable. Then I used a Mac and no problem.

There are several variables to formatting and I think tools default them different and Tesla does not handle every variation.

Also you can try a different flash drive but my guess is more likely formatting.

I format it via window 3rd party. Since my drive is 128gb only 3rd party can partition it to fat32 not far32ext.

Same here. And that’s exactly what was breaking it for me. Find another way. Find a friend with a Mac. Or find a different tool.

BTW I used same 3rd party tool for 2 other cars for years. The Tesla didn’t like it. But it liked how the Mac partitioned it. Not sure if it was partitioning or formatting or both.

You could also try a small usb drive (I think it’s under 32gb) and try Windows native Fat32. Just as I test.
