    Tidal shuffle appears to be broken.

    For me the playback is not randomized when I select shuffle on a downloaded playlist, but I will re-check it since there have been an update since last time I tried it.

    Tidal shuffle appears to be broken.

    Are you pressing shuffle from a downloaded playlist or a playlist that is being streamed? You press the shuffle button on the left side of the screen where the "now playing" widget is displayed? When I press the shuffle button on mine it switches the view to "playlists" and does not shuffle...

    Tidal shuffle appears to be broken.

    Nobody? I was able to reproduce this on another car so it appears that either I don't understand how this feature work or the feature is broken.

    Tidal shuffle appears to be broken.

    I have several downloaded Tidal playlists on my Tesla and would like to randomize these playlists. When I am listening and select the random icon on the lower left screen playback widget the "next playing" list switches to showing the next playlist, not the next track. So shuffle is definitely...

    Wiper Issues on both my 2022 & 2023 Model Y

    I have also noticed this issue since an update a couple of months ago and it is still present after the last dot release bug fix load. Wiper will turn on periodically when windshield is dry and completely clean. Worse, when it does this it does one half hearted wipe and then the wipers do not...

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    Wow, did you really register just to post this? You cannot use the emergency release leads to open the frunk unless the vehicle's 12V battery is dead. So yes, the frunk is likely much more secure than the trunk. Anyone willing to break a window can get into the trunk... you'd have to open the...

    2023 Holiday Update Imminent

    Update loaded today, the new parking features are pretty exciting. I am having a problem with Tidal though. Ever since the update and even after a manual reboot of the system Tidal seems to be somewhat broken. Tapping the "My Collection" tab results in just spinning and nothing ever loads...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    This is correct. MQA is lossy it’s just far higher definition than CD assuming the original recording was mastered at sufficient resolution.

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    I am only looking at two power walls. My usage is around 650-800kwh per month depending on season. 20kwh would be enough to run the home for close to 24 hours during a power failure with no solar generation such as winter if panels are covered in snow. If I disconnected non essential loads and...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    Ok interesting. Does the Tesla gateway have a circuit interrupter to shut the power off? My installer seems pretty up to speed so they can probably fill me in on options for doing this.

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    I already have nearly 7kw on my existing system but I would need to replace my existing Fronius string inverter with a Tesla inverter

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    Another interesting thing I've learned in my research is that Xcel Energy will provide a rebate that covers about 30% of the cost of power walls but in return Xcel gets the ability to control the PowerWalls ... so that during peak usage they can tell your PowerWalls to start delivering output...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    Yes, I was advised I would need several (probably 3-4) power walls to be able to run everything for a day or two during a long term outage. Run everything means using major electric appliances like electric oven, induction cooktop, clothes dryer, etc. Because I work from home and do network...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    Thanks for the info Bruce, that's good news, because I would probably have enough solar capacity most of the time (non winter) to run things in a limited fashion indefinitely with that being the case.... solar during the day charging batteries and running my stuff and then powerwall keeping...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    I have an existing 13 year old 7kw system and am in discussions to expand the system with another 3-4kw of capacity, installation of Tesla string inverter for the new smaller system and one or more power walls. I plan to use the powerwalls for time of day load shifting as well as for emergency...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Yeah, I've even had the MQA tag come up when I was streaming something in the car over WiFi. The biggest issue with Tidal in my opinion is the mind boggling lack of an option to randomize a playlist. Completely bonkers that it can't play things on shuffle.

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Spotify must be capped lower than at like 128kbps because Tidal sounds noticeably cleaner, more dynamic range, etc.
  18. voip-ninja

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    The sound quality difference between Spotify and Tidal is pretty noticeable. 16bit 44.1khz for the downloaded files makes sense to me, it would take a ton of space to store MQA or FLAC files of 24bit audio.' I'm not sure what they stream to the car when it's on the 4G/LTE network but I am...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Downloaded tracks show in the app as being “Hi-Fi” and this is not an 1167kbps bit-rate. It is possibly CD quality but I’m not sure. The bit-rate you cited in the earlier screenshot is from a test where someone STREAMED Tidal over Wi-Fi and looked at the stream rate. This is not the same...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    You might get that bitrate when streaming on Wi-Fi but you will not get that bitrate streaming over cellular or from downloaded tracks.

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Wanted to follow up on my own thread as I hadn't gotten a response. Songs are downloaded in "Hi-Fi" quality. I believe this is 320kbps and similar to the quality that you get from Spotify. It is inferior to either CD or MQA quality as far as I know. Additionally playlists are limited to 199...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Does anyone know what quality is used for Tidal audio tracks that are downloaded directly to the car? I have Hi Fi Plus so I can listen at MQA but the tracks are quite large, CD quality is fine for me for downloaded songs, but I can't find any way to choose what is used in the car.

    Slow initial data connection when getting into the car

    What I mean to say is that the behavior is not consistent. I have enterprise grade WiFi in my house (Unifi mesh with one AP right in the garage itself). Sometimes I get in the car and the car is connected, Spotify is working, MyQ is ready to go. Other times I get in the car and neither of these...

    Slow initial data connection when getting into the car

    I don’t think this issue is limited to LTE. My car is on WiFi and I’ve noticed that the data connection is delayed when I first get in the car and can take as long as 10-20 seconds to start operating. Other times it seems to work as you would expect. One way I’ve noticed it’s happening is that...

    Chamberlain totally incompetent, can't even buy MyQ subscription

    Shortly after activating the subscription it was in error mode again. So, yeah.

    Chamberlain totally incompetent, can't even buy MyQ subscription

    What’s bizarre is that there was no indication that they required ads or other things to function on their page to make a purchase. This must have been my firewall that blocks access to very spammy adware sites that blocked it, because when I put my phone on 5G it worked! Thanks for the...

    Chamberlain totally incompetent, can't even buy MyQ subscription

    The trial expired and I literally can't complete the checkout for a MyQ subscription. I populate all the info but the "place order" button does nothing. Tried on three different devices after signing into the MyQ account. Chamberlain, totally incompetent.

    MyQ quirk

    Mine did the beeping and flashing for the first week or two I had it going and has never done it since. The beepnig/flashing is the same thing it does when you close it via the app on your mobile device, so it might just be how the API call is done. I am surprised it is still doing that for...

    All I can say is good luck. More than likely it is going to fail on you again very soon with "error".

    MyQ Connected Garage Not Loading

    It's honestly not even a little surprising to me. More than likely Chamberlain isn't even doing the work themselves and have outsourced it. What is surprising to me is that they convinced Tesla they knew what they were doing to the extent that Tesla added the feature. I imagine there is revenue...

    Dented my door badly, looking for a rough repair estimate

    It is easily a $2,000+ repair. You should just use your insurance to take care of it.

    MyQ Connected Garage Not Loading

    I would be very leery of resetting my car to resolve what appears to be a back end issue with Chamberlain. Mine simply showed "error". I unpaired it and repaired it to the MyQ account and it immediately connected. I set the home location and things were working. The next time I got in the car...

    MyQ Connected Garage Not Loading

    I can see why they are extending the free subscription although I haven't yet gotten that offer from them. This is not ready for prime time. When it works it is wonderful but about every third or fourth time I get in the car it shows an account error. Then it will start working again later...

    Tesla and MyQ

    A couple of things I’ve noticed. MyQ used to close the door the same way it closes when you use the mobile app, it would flash multiple times then lower the door (after several seconds). They must have updated something on the back end because now when it initiates closing it just does it...

    Tesla and MyQ

    That's absolutely not true and I've tested it out to confirm. I go to my Tesla with my garage door closed (normally when I go to my Tesla the garage door is open). MyQ on the Tesla shows the garage door is closed. I then open the garage door from the wall control, not the Tesla app, the Tesla...

    Tesla and MyQ

    It's unfortunate that it made it through testing and was released with this issue. Of course it's not clear if this issue is on the Tesla end of things or on the MyQ end of things. Makes it hard to justify spending the money on a subscription though. If it was completely reliable I would have...

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    Criminals use a basic risk vs reward formula when making the decision to break the law. They might not be aware they are running this calculus but they are. NYC in the 80s was a crime ridden hell hole, even the "nice" areas. NY cops pretty much looked the other way when it came to things like...

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    I agree, but even when the law was being stringently enforced there were still occasional car break ins. Certainly this has become a much much bigger problem now than it has been any time I have been alive and I'm kind of old.

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    A lot of threads about people slightly denting the frunk or denting it bad enough that they had to have Tesla replace it. The frunk is made of aluminum that's just a bit thicker than a soda can and as such it will very easily dent.

    There's nothing that can be wrong with a brand new car that wouldn't be covered by warranty. However getting it fixed to your satisfaction can sometimes be a challenge.

    MyQ Connected Garage Not Loading

    Mine works but intermittently I get an error saying it's not signed in. One time when this happened after about 30 seconds it went green and closed the garage. I like the functionality when it's working especially since it knows if the garage is up or down and doesn't try to close it instead of...

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    That's really a bigger reason I'm not doing it than the actual install. Your power frunk stops working and you get to spend hours troubleshooting it and/or getting replacement parts... assuming the replacement parts for the version you have are still even available. I had really been hoping...

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    If the power frunk is so amazingly awesome then I am at a loss on why Tesla has not made it a standard feature. I am also fairly handy but after watching a few install vids of the power frunk I'm not sure I want to do that with a brand new still under warranty vehicle.

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    Every time I carefully close it I am paranoid I am denting it.
