Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Mine only seems to do this after a firmware update. From driving session to driving session it does not seem to rescan the drive.

Yeah, hopefully they get this done in 8.0 as well as adding Spotify.Yes, been doing that but the challenge is I have so many favorite songs

I suspect that having energy saver enabled causes the system to fully shutdown, rather than hibernate. Disabling energy saver may speed up music access.

Hi all,
Great to see so much knowledge on this thread. I started a similar-ish thread on the MS side of the house (Ultra High Fidelity Sound Question) but was hoping some of the experts here could help me sort this out.
I just picked up an inventory MS with UHFS and the sound comes out heavily (and i mean heavily) "centered" in front of the driver side. To get to a set-up that sounds correct (ie centered and even), I pretty much have to "center" it on the right rear passenger seat. Turning off dolby helps, but that just doesn't sound right.
Am I overlooking anything obvious? I would hate having to swing by a SvC just for that...\
TIA

As counter intuitive it may sound, try keeping the L/R balance at center and try moving the front /back a few clicks to the back. If that doesn't work then it is possible that the speakers on the passenger side is shot.

Thanks for the idea...I just tried that and it seems to be doing the right thing, ie the sound is moving up and down the cabin so to speak.
One thing I just noticed also is that if I start with FM radio and adjust it way far back to the right to get it "balanced" but then switch to internet radio as the source, then if feels like it IS really way to far back to the right and if I bring it back to center, it sounds fine.
So this would point towards an input/source issue rather than a speaker issue? Ugh?

Yes. My experience has been that the system is source dependent. It shines really well with lossless music at minimum of CD quality in terms of layering, depth and separation. Those very same things that enable that level of quality can be unforgiving on a not so good source. For example if the recording has the left channel over optimized it may seem that the sound stage is towards the driver. It took me a little bit of getting used to but once I reimagined my listening experience in my car to the same as listening to a great pair of floor standers at a 8 ft distance then it all made sense. I was so used to more of the all enveloping sound in a car that the forward sound stage seemed a little weird at first. YMMV.
I really wish the volume was source dependent. When I drive alone, I listen to podcasts streamed via Bluetooth from my phone and I have to turn the volume up quite a bit to hear it. When there is anyone else in my car, we have to listen to music since no one else likes listening to my techy podcasts. When I switch over to Slacker, the music is so loud that I've scared the crap out of myself and wife.
I've reported this to Tesla...hoping for a fix.

I've had this in a couple of cars, it doesn't really work in an ICE car; 80 under acceleration, or at a constant speed, or coasting downhill?
May make more sense in an EV

Audio gradually gets louder as speed increases... to compensate for more road/engine/wind noise.

My 2005 Ford Focus had speed dependent volume. It even lets me adjust how much the effect is. I definitely like it.

I think you nailed it. After a fair bit of tweaking, I have come to a set up that sort of works for my ears and I think I'll grow into it as long as I re-imagined my listening experience the way you did.
I listened to some classical music on the way from work (something I had not done in years...) and it sounded really really good.

I'm having the same problem. My old 2005 Mercedes E class with premium sound was actually stunningly great. This Tesla with the extra $2,500 Ultra High Fidelity Sound option sounds worse than a bad school announcement system. And there's definitely not 12 speakers playing.
