I had a really nice home visit from Tesla today. I've had a series of software crashes since buying my 21 M3LR in December, and while things have settled down since the 4.6 update, i was glad he came. He actually did a Hard Reset, which is to unplug the 12V battery from the main battery and then he took the connectors off the 12V battery. He then reconnected each so the car could reboot from scratch.
During the visit, we talked about a number of Tesla related topics, including software updates. According to him, the engineers recommend that we disconnect all USB devices, including the Sentra memory stick, before performing any updates. Why? Apparently, after the software update downloads, it tries to install itself on any devices that are connected to the car and there have been instances where this has bricked the car.
Just one more example why i HATE the manual.
