USB data ports--what are their uses?

[snovvman]

As far as I know: Sentry and dashcam recording, music, game controllers. Anything else?

Probably something esoteric, but that's the hitlist IMO. Mind you i'm a NOOB, so WTH do I know.

Wow lots of music indeed. I only wish that the music player would go on to the next folder when the track is at the end of the current folder, or at least make that an option.

So a USB keyboard can replace the on-screen keyboard for input?

Ugh...I think it's been disabled in the current firmware.

Installed it yesterday with a USB stick loaded with MP3 files ripped from CD's. Works great.

Note that the center console hub is only useful for anything other than charging for those who have data enabled. At some point in 2021 or 2022, can't recall when, Tesla removed the data connection to those ports, making them charge only. There are ways to get the data back and various options on how to do that, should that be the goal.
