Model 3 doesn't recognize the drive after 2019.5.x #119

I got a grey X on my Model 3 display after the 2019.5.3 update. I rebuilt my drive again (and now I am on 2019.5.4) but same error.

I am setting up my drive using an older version of setup-teslausb after setting the environment variables for rclone (and campercent=60). I am setting up my Pi Zero W first to have an nginx webserver and then running setup-teslausb to create the partitions and make the / filesystem read-only. This method worked reliably on 2018.x.x versions of the car software.

The drive works properly when my Pi Zero W is plugged into my Windows 10 laptop. But it won't get recognized by the car. Is this a known issue, and is there a different way to create the partitions now?

I am having success keeping power on using this battery pack (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BSG7V3J). The battery pack occasionally drains to zero, so I am not sure about how long it will last, but for the time being it works great.
