Tesla Update 2021.4.3 - Minor Fixes

Got the 2021.4.3 Update last night. Looked this morning and it appears that there were no major improvements, just minor bug fixes.

Tesla Update 2021.4.3

Using the Tesla Boombox feature on same USB Drive as Tesla Cam using Windows 10

I finally got a Tesla Boombox feature working on my Model 3, almost a month after release...maybe because of the cold or maybe just lack of time to sit with a computer and get it figured out. Anyways, I made a short instructional video on how to format a single USB drive using Windows 10 for both the Tesla Dashcam and Tesla Boombox. Well actually all three, when Tesla Track Mode is included in the mix.

There is a subtle trick because Windows cannot format two exFAT partitions consecutively.

Here are the manual instructions illustrated by screenshots:
