    Easy iTunes playlist syncing for Tesla USB flash drive

    Sorry I missed this till now. Issues filed on the project page will send notifications to me I'm more likely to notice. Files with the extension ".aiff" get copied, but from your screenshot it looks like yours were ".aif". I'll update the list of extensions I'll copy to include that. Given...

    Easy iTunes playlist syncing for Tesla USB flash drive

    I really don't know how much workaround junk we want to keep doing for this ongoing saga of …challenged… media player support… but that said, I can think of a couple things one could do. Even ignoring the amount of work one would have to do to do it though, I think they are crappy choices. 1)...

    Easy iTunes playlist syncing for Tesla USB flash drive

    I do wish Tesla supported CarPlay, but I do find their Bluetooth implementation (which does support AAC) and using the iPhone's interface to work pretty well. To answer your question though: For playlists: If you add more songs to your playlists, the app will just copy the new songs. If you...

    Easy iTunes playlist syncing for Tesla USB flash drive

    I haven't stopped by and reviewed this thread in ages. You're welcome to those thank you's posted earlier. I'm glad some people have found the app useful. I do still wish Tesla would support playlist files - would make everything so much better in terms of being able to organize without...

    Garage door position reset only works for approach and not departure.....

    Well, unusual maybe, and yeah, nice garage, but I have to wonder why they split the functionality like that. I'd have expected the position reset to affect both arrival and departure. Having trouble coming up with a justification for splitting them, yet it seems like it would have been more work...

    Tesla Key, the easy way to prepare your vehicle from an iPhone and iPad

    "Fast and easy". "One click with 3D Touch" is the advantage, if you value time. Nice idea. If the connection actually happens reliably and quickly. I can see how it would be really handy and nice to 3D Touch the app to get things going without having to enter the app, and significantly ease...

    P90D owners - anyone upset yet at the 10.9 and 20% faster to 155mph claims?

    I mostly agree with your point regarding marketing angle. I just don't think these issues of late have as much to do with that angle as with the lack of explanation of the gap between what's said and what's real. If there were no gap, that'd be great. If there was a gap, then explaining...

    P90D owners - anyone upset yet at the 10.9 and 20% faster to 155mph claims?

    Hmm, see I wish they'd still do the just plain straight talk like they did back when they won me over in the 07 timeframe. They always has their moments of going silent, but it feels like they are happening more often and for longer , and it seems to me that more and more they are using...

    Any Improvement with the USB Music Album Art in V7.0 ?

    Seems same to me, though haven't looked deeply into it.

    Did Tesla learn from Volkswagen ?

    They did advertise it in a manner of speaking, in that Elon tweeted and quoted the results. I'm very interested in how the numbers happened, and whether it'll be easily reproducible in both the P85DL and P90DL since I'm still on the fence about upgrading.

    Motor Trend reports 2.6 0 to 60!! In P90D. Launch control??

    I can't believe it hasn't been asked. Maybe I missed seeing it somehow. Regardless, I asked. As for the article, a lot about it seemed off/canned, like the horsepower and new motor stuff. For past experience, if something about an article seems wrong, I tend to attribute it to bad reporting for...

    Should I stealth wrap over my deep metallic blue MS?

    The stealth wrap I saw on the old blue (which typically looks black anyway) actually made it look lighter and bluer than it did earlier. Maybe it was a trick of the light at that particular location, but I was surprised when they said it was the clear matte stealth film vs. a colored wrap...

    Cost of Leather Reupholstering from Black Textile?

    People have done that, and the first that comes to mind is Al & Ed's with Dr. Taras' car and others. You can search the board for links. I don't know if you'll find costs here though. Probably will have to contact them or others directly for that since the type of leather, stitching, and level...

    Is Ludicrous Mode for regular driving? Impact on battery usage?

    Experiences vary I guess. My take... If you don't want to go as fast as fast, don't push the pedal as far as fast. These cars have excellent control and response. They aren't as twitchy as other cars I've driven despite having more acceleration capability. I have only had mine off of insane a...

    Acceleration / deceleration instability - new 85D

    Glad it's fixed, and thanks for updating the thread. Hopefully it'll be helpful for the next person with a similar question.
