This project is frustrating me...

So, I had the thing die on me and went and rebuilt it.

I have it just inside my house now (not yet in my Tesla). I can SSH into it. I can go to /backingfiles and see that there is a cam_disk.bin and a music_disk.bin, even though there should be no freaking music disk as I set up cam disk to be 100%.

I have it running while plugged in via USB to my Mac. No drive appears.

In the /boot directory, there is a WIFI_ENABLED file that got created and a TESLAUSB_SETUP_STARTED file (both with 0 bytes)

This is the log tesla-usb-setup.log file

And that's it.

Keep feeling like it's a "you get what you paid for" project. It's free, so there ya go...

Try setting the disk variable to 80 instead of 100. I have a feeling it’s failing due to storage constraints.

I had a similar issue where the wifi was set to enabled but not connecting. Have you confirmed your wifi is active? https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/check-ethernet-and-wifi

The problem I had was that i was trying to connect to a hidden ssid so I had to add SCAN_SSID=1 to the wpa_supplicant.conf
