    Tidal app disappeared?

    So this has been an absolutely A+ work-around, and I am very grateful that someone figured this out and we have an active community like this to share these things... On the plus side, this has consistently worked for me, over and over (and over and over) again. My search results stop...

    Tidal app disappeared?

    Well, I went down to my car this morning to reboot again, and when I got there, I found that the Tesla app had returned overnight... My downloads are gone. After a short drive/errand, the app had remembered all the albums I had downloaded, and I believe the car is redownloading them now on my...

    Tidal app disappeared?

    Yep, same. My *downloads* disappeared from the app a couple days ago... Which hasn't been that unusual for me, and has always come back with a reboot. Well, I rebooted tonight, and when the car came back up, Tidal was gone. I've rebooted twice more so far since then (some reddit users said it...

    Holy crap Tidal makes the audio system come ALIVE.

    Just a quick follow-up on the stuttering, and this may not help some folks, but I experienced this myself for the first time yesterday... On roads and in places where it has previously worked well (no stutters or dropouts). First thing I did was switch to Tidal's downloaded files and they...

    Who can Beat my Average Whr/mile? (Over life of Car)

    Until the most recent Tesla update (which moved visibilty of this off the main screen and down into a layer or two of menus) I used to watch this stuff pretty closely... and 234 whr/mile is pretty much exactly what I have gotten, overall and on average, in the spring, summer, and fall months...

    Tidal vs Spotify

    No but long after we're 12, we can hear the initial *ring* and then the *decay*, when a real (not computer synthesized) cymbal or a high hat gets struck, or a real string gets plucked, in a real room... the way a room *rings*... something with real (complex) harmonics. And a lot of (most? all?)...

    Holy crap Tidal makes the audio system come ALIVE.

    Has anyone figured out yet what the bitrate is when you're streaming (undownloaded and not on WiFi) Tidal in the car? I'd guess it's AAC format because that's what they use for their "normal" and "high" quality settings on other platforms... I was never sure how folks figured out what Spotify's...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    Roon would be ideal.... Particularly if my lifetime sub would work in my car and on my PC at the same time (without needing two subs).

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    I finally got a version update that supports Tidal 2021.44.6... and I'm having a real hard time with the downloads, anybody have this problem? I have strong wifi coverage in my garage. I queued up a bunch of albums to download while I was away from home.... and when I return home, it just...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    As long as the car will still play the "studio master" recording (which sometimes is a different mastering than the CD redbook release, has more dynamic range, a lower avg gain, etc), at CD-quality (16/44.1) bitrate, I'd be very happy with that.... if instead, the lack of beyond-CD-quality...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    +1 I totally agree with this. I had naively hoped for more, and maybe the reality is this is "fine for car audio," as in, "this is what good car audio is," (and that's fine, in that case), but it does not sound to my ears like "HiFi". The mid-bass is boomy bloomy and fat and overstated, the...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    I'm still waiting to be offered the new 2021.40.... anxiously... is the delayed release often this slow? Is there some sort of action I can take to encourage getting this pushed to me? I don't usually care all that much about how many days it's taking my car to get the new firmware... but I'd...

    Making the most of Tidal audio away from car

    It's definitely very *niche* and not going to be for everyone... some folks are definitely *not* going to place much value on the features/capabilities that it has. My favorite features include but wouldn't be limited to: - The way it lets Tidal, Qobuz, and my library live side-by-side, within...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    Yea but how great would it be if Tesla and Roon would partner, and Roon would be the *premium* audio solution for Tesla?? I know it's not gonna happen, but it's fun to dream about... It's been discussed over on the Roon forums before... But to my knowledge just by users, not by Roon personnel.

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'll give it anyway. Proper couch: I consider myself an "audiophile." I have a Tidal (master's) subscription. I have a Qobuz sublime subscription. And I have a large collection of (mostly lossless FLAC) local files, and I have a piece of software...

    Tidal Music (and Amazon and Apple) Integration might be coming...

    Anyone on here have any hands-on experience with it? - Can we stream, or is it download-only? - If we can stream, is the streaming bitrate better than the ultra-low bitrate Spotify runs at within our cars? - Do we have access to the Studio Master's? I think, essentially, what I'm trying to...

    Park Assist Unavailable

    Took my Model Y to the dealer for "recommended one-year service" last weekend and when I picked it up (Tuesday morning, 9/7) it had this Park Assist Error from the moment I climbed in. I would have gone in and asked for help, but I picked it up off hours (in the morning before work). The...

    Cabin overheat protection no longer working

    I'm suddenly having this problem with my MY too... last summer the system maintained 100 until i returned. For the second day in a row I've returned to my car to find a temperature in excess (118 yesterday, 107-and-climbing today)... my car is sitting idle for fewer than 12 hours...

    Wh/mi consumption too high?

    +1 to this, my wh/mi is always bad at the start of almost any trip, almost any time of the year or day... early in the morning on my way to work, before it's gotten "hot out" and right after I've taken my car out of the (unheated/cooled directly, but connected to the heated/cooled house and...

    Wh/mi consumption too high?

    I live in a 4-seasons part of the nation (Pennsylvania), I've got 19" wheels on my LR AWD MY, and most of my driving takes place on 2-lane roads that are marked as 45-55 mph (and I tyipcally drive 5-8 mph over whatever is listed). After ~15,000 miles my lifetime wh/mile is exactly 250... TIFWIW.

    Bolt in tire (2nd time in 36 days); recall related?

    Quick update. Took it to my local shop; tire can't be plugged/patched. Too close to the side wall, just as the community predicted (yinz are good). I have replacement on order (he didn't have any in stock). Tire was completely flat Monday evening when I picked it up. Slow leak seems to be...

    250kW supercharger disaapointment

    I bought my Model Y during the early months of the pandemic, so I took my first road trip with it over memorial day weekend. On the trip we hit both V2 and V3 superchargers, and my experience was: - Giving tesla an address to take me to a supercharger did NOT trigger pre-conditioning. Giving...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    A lot of good input on this thread. I appreciate it as well. I have an August 2020 "-F" model Gen3 wall charger on a 60 amp circuit. It had been doing the "3 red blinks and green streaming" for a few months now, as we came out of winter, cutting my default charge rate from 31 amps to 24. 24...

    Bolt in tire (2nd time in 36 days); recall related?

    Any (more experienced) Tesla owners want to suggest for me a good 3rd party (Michelin, etc) tire for a Model Y (LR AWD), in 19" size, that optimizes for range and 4 season driving (safety) over performance? Just in case they won't patch it for me and I need to buy 2 new ones....

    Bolt in tire (2nd time in 36 days); recall related?

    Bolt in tire (2nd time in 36 days); recall related?

    Just got a bolt in my right front tire. Randomly had this happen 36 days ago too (pre-recall).... not a great experience, cost me a *lot* of money at the Tesla dealer ($1700; said my tires were misaligned and worn thin, needed all 4 replaced). First time it happened my tire went flat *fast*...

    charging, how often do you plug in at home?

    Probably just gonna echo what a lot of other folks have said: 1) I usually charge to 75% in the spring/summer/fall, and 80% (or 85%) in the winter, to keep that battery close(er) to 50% for most of it's lifetime... 2) I live in a more rural-ish part of Pennsylvania. If I take the tesla to...

    How many Y do you spot in a day?

    My wife is originally from up near Dayton PA. Not *as big* of an Amish population as Lancaster/Hershey area, but you wander 10-15 minutes north of her childhood house and then *keep* heading North on a Sunday afternoon and there is ZERO chance you don't roll up on at least one (usually 4-6) of...

    How many Y do you spot in a day?

    I think the ratio of 3's to Y's is very regional in terms of how quickly the area you live in started to adopt EVs en-masse. Somewhere like California was *ready* to early-adopt the moment Model 3's were available for sale (maybe even earlier). Where I live, here in the Pittsburgh area, we're...

    Superchargers on PlugShare

I took possession in July, and have put those 10,000 miles on, probably disproportionaly more over the Winter then the stay-at-home Summer 2020 (pandemic) we had. My lifetime wh/mile has...

    Dear Elon: just remove navigation from your cars

    Dear Elon: just remove navigation from your cars

    Jeda Hub for Model Y

    Samsung T5's and T7's tend to be the most popular, as best I can tell... I use a T5. I read that the T5 tends to run a little cooler, so I went with a geek squad refurb T5 rather than a new T7... both are supposed to worth well though.

    Is Model Y a luxury car?

    I agree. I do not think it's a luxury vehicle. I do think it's: 1) An incredible piece of "drivable tech" 2) An incredible machine (4.25 tons, 0-60 under 5 seconds, ~300 miles range, 250 wh/mile efficient, all with a hatchback and loads of storage...) Which means that, while it is not (IMO)...
