For those that have a truck already, is it possible to use two USB separate drives at the same time? Meaning, one drive for sentry mode recording and a second for an audio library with playlists?

If not, can one drive be used for both - sentry mode recordings and an audio library?

If I understand correctly, when playing audio via bluetooth (phone, iPod, etc) - you can't select different playlists from the Tesla screen itself.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Per the Cybertruck Manual, The Sentry-Mode USB drive lives in the glovebox, and the Media USB connects inside the center console. The rest of the USB ports in the vehicle are power-only.

That said, I successfully partitioned the included USB stick, and it still works for Sentry, but not for music. The exception is "LockChime.wav" on the Media partition, which is now my lock chime.

I believe Cybertruck does not currently play USB media, but I'm hopeful that's a temporary limitation.

I saw there was a port in the center console, but didn't realize it was a data feed too. Awesome news. Had zero clue you could have a custom lock chime. Very slick!

Are pretty much all USB\flash drives supported? Or is there a supported brand \model list some where? Would it be safe to get a couple drives ahead of time?
