Playing movies from USB thumb drive? 🎥

[Thunderstrike44]

Try loading the audiobooks on your phone and stream them to the truck via Bluetooth (I do this to listen to podcasts, though I don't download them locally - I just stream them). Or upload them to a free Google Drive account and navigate to that via the truck's browser. Plugging a USB into a computer, uploading files to it, then carrying that to the truck, plugging it in, then navigating to it in order to play audiobooks seems like the most inefficient of all the many options...

Its a good Idea, and One I tried (not exactly what you said anyway) that problem with my phone is it also does not remember where in a hour long file it was when I open it up in the afternoon to play from the morning drive. I have to pause it and leave it paused all day then it will continue on from there. and if it the weekend...well you get it. I will try the browser option, that I have not tried. I also tried a program on my phone called Bookplayer (this is a I-phone) and it had the same issue. It kind of sad this is such a issue since I been able to do this for more than 20years on my Trucks, Jeeps, Wife's cars, but Not the Cybertruck. I have not tried my tablet which is android in the truck yet either, could be another option....not convenient but a option.

That is an interesting idea...
..If the Tesla browser has video plugs-in and the correct .mp4 codex..it could play a movie, typing in the url path to your thumb drive / movie filename would be clumsy at best.

This comment just had me thinking... Aren't the sentry/dashcam videos .mp4? What if you had an mp4 encoded video and masked it with a filename consistent with a sentry/dashcam filename? I am grasping at straws but only on coffee #1. There may be length/size restrictions with this, but I wonder if you can trick the vehicle this way.

Another Interesting Ideal for sure, worth an experiment.

Well I am glad most people can afford to do that, I for one am not. Most of what I want to watch and listen too is not streamed, so this is all I have.....

If you’re driving a cybertruck you should be able to afford it. In my opinion but I could be wrong no disrespect but it’s an expensive truck what’s $20 $30 dollars. Just saying!

I know you are making a lot of assumptions there and I don't want to sound mean or anything so I will just say, I don't like subscription services because things come and go and they try to appeal to a wide audience and doesn't always fall in line with me tastes. I may listen to or watch something several times over time. Lets just say I been there tried that and was not happy with it.
