Charging your mobile device and playing music from a USB thumb drive are common uses for the Tesla Model S USB port but can it do more?

- Tesla Model S Fast Charging USB Port Hack
- Randomizer App for Model S Adds USB Music Shuffle
- The Sound in the Tesla Model S
It turns out that the Model S is capable of detecting the USB mouse and floppy drive! What’s most compelling to see is the fact that a blue mouse pointer appears directly on the 17″ center display and responds to the movement of the mouse!
Keeping fingerprints away from the touchscreen has never been easier.
