I've had the flash drive in my Tesla crap out on me several times. This has been with multiple brands and models. The error is always that the flash drive has become write protected. This last one is very persistent. Nothing I do solves the problem. The only choice left is to copy all the data, and format it.
What gives with the corruption of the write enable bit? People say that even if the drive is removed without pausing, it only corrupts files currently being written.
BTW, I had a larger flash that had to be formatted as exFAT to be able to hold larger files. It can't be read at the printing machines in Staples! I guess they require FAT32!!! I think the file size limit in FAT32 is 4GB. The volume limit was 32 GB originally, but was (somehow) bumped up to 2 TB. Still, the file size thing is a problem.
