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.
