Thanks Phil for your help.
The USB is the one that came with the car. I read on Reddit, a guy tried a 1 terra byte USB that fixed his when he added his music to the camera flash drive, so might try a larger one. I also noticed when I *just* had music on a USB 64GB drive, there were *no* intermittent glitches *but* I lost camera recording. As John Lennon would say “Life is Full of Tradeoffs”. Thanks for the info on the TPMS 433 Mhz transmitters/batteries. I found nothing in the manual and not much on the Net that was reliable info. The next time I get a tire change, about 50K down the road, I’ll get them replaced. When I rotate the tires (just do front-rear rotation), I have the rims marked so if it shows LF low 38psi instead of recommended 42psi – I’ll know what tire it is. The TPMS error started 5K miles after tire replacement. Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.

The TPMS transmitters do have batteries and are inside the tires, so you have to at least brake the beads to replace them. Best to do them all at once, as if one died, the rest aren't far behind, that said; they are supposed to last 6-10 years, so maybe you just had one go bad. Be sure you get the correct ones for your car, they have multiple types.

The USB port intermittently shows a fault requesting to be momentarily unplugged since I added 43GB of music to the camera flash drive a year ago Also at 118K miles it shows a tire pressure monitoring system fault. Does anyone know how these 433Mhz transmitters work? Do they have tiny batteries in the valve stem that need replacing? Or should I have had them replaced when I changed the tires last month? Since they’re inside the tire, I assume they have pressure sensors. I just ignore the warning and check my tires pressure as if it were a Nissan Leaf. It’s been a good trip car but if Elon is still in charge when it poops out 200k+, I’ll buy one of the other 43 EVs available that has a Nacs/Ccs fast charging standard.
