Great. We have two campsites, one of which blames Tesla. As to your questions:DID WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS?!?
I am with @Knightshade on this - from all the posts I've read (and it has been many), all evidence points to it being mainly a SW problem (and possible some bad drives, but that is not a sign of a wholesale "hardware problem"). Get an inexpensive larger drive (Costco has as 256 SanDisk I believe for $32 right now) and just see what happens. There is not a single flash, micro SD, or SSD that has not experienced the Too Slow message.
Also, a SOFTWARE issue can easily cause the issues you are reporting, even to the point of permanent damage to the drive, be it a flash, SD, or SSD.
- Did you perform a test of the drive before you put it in your Tesla to see if it did this?
- Did you test transfer speeds on another computer?
- Have you done anything besides this one transfer to test this phenomenon?

I am firmly in the "it's a software issue" camp. Until I start seeing empirical evidence to the contrary, you'll be hard pressed to change my mind.
1. YES - of course it worked at full USB 3.0 speeds when I did a test fill of >30GB video files, no sawtooth dropouts when brand new, formatted to FAT32.
2. YES - but why would you expect different results? (See Einstein quote on that topic.)
3. YES - I replaced the 128GB flash drive with a 128GB micro-SD card in a Sandisk USB 3.0 adapter
I have not seen the message, nor do I get 1KB corrupt videos as with the flash drive.
Let's agree to disagree without getting nasty, eh?
