You changed your Tesla Slacker ID from [email protected] to your own email address and you still get the Tesla paid Slacker service?It's been 2 yrs since I did without any issue.
I'm an IT guy so I'm tech savvy. YMMV

They told me same thing today. However what he said was don't change the password or user ID. Changing the settings was ok. Then Slacker said Tesla does not support the higher bit rate sound improvement. You can change it in the settings on slacker but what will come to the Tesla is the low bit rate (aka less quality) sound. So only real benefit is to turn off news and inappropriate content.I just got my credentials, and they asked me NOT to change them so they could still access troubleshooting if I needed it.
Yes. I can confirm that it works as a tesla account with my own email.You changed your Tesla Slacker ID from [email protected] to your own email address and you still get the Tesla paid Slacker service?
Pretty slick. I always thought that 9 digit number let Slacker know it was a paid account, thanks!Yes. I can confirm that it works as a tesla account with my own email.
It says expires "march 2017". It says that each preceding year and continues to work.
That's the way it works now (since 8.0). You can test that it is syncing by adding a new favorite station or turning on the news banner from you computer and the changes should show up on the car.I've got a problem. I got my email/password from Tesla today and I *was* able to use that to log in to Slacker on my computer. But when I try to do the same from the car's screen, it just keeps spinning and never accepts the email/password. Assuming I punched in the correct email/password (I've triple-checked), anyone know what I need to do? Anyone have this problem?
Thanks,
Rob
Thanks msnow. And is there a way online to increase the bit rate like the choice that you can't touch on the car's screen?That's the way it works now (since 8.0).

"Account settings" on the computer browser version. "maximum audio quality" on/off. On=320 Kbps but someone upthread said Slacker told them Tesla no longer supports the higher bit rate. Test it for yourself.Thanks msnow. And is there a way online to increase the bit rate like the choice that you can't touch on the car's screen?
We have been aware of this news since last October. Mine doesn't sound as bad as yours does though.I want to update this thread with some new info I've gotten out of Slacker about this issue. As of the 8.0 firmware, the "high bitrate stream" option moved to the Slacker login screen. BUT (and this is a major BUT), they have completely removed the stream quality option from all cars with the base audio system. Yes, Really. That's why some of us can't find it and others can.
I asked Slacker to pull log data from a period when I was listening in my car. I wanted to understand why my ears start bleeding every time I try to play Slacker in there. It was playing... AACv2 40kbps. Really. Ear-bleedingly bad. Like I-can't-get-through-an-entire-song bad.
Also, despite what some of us have been told, the web player's quality setting is in no way linked to the quality setting of the car. This is true of every playback app Slacker has. The stream format is actually a query parameter. The Android App, iPhone App and web app all set them independently and store the selected value in a place that is app-local. It can't possibly be shared between devices.
I encourage everyone who is upset by this info to email [email protected] to let them know. I've been trading emails with [email protected] for the past couple days about this and they've forwarded along the info, but more people complaining about this will probably help get them to undo the crippling of our audio stream. You might also email [email protected] and tell them about how bad the audio in your Tesla sounds. Eventually the message will get across.
In the mean time, anyone with the base audio package can use a phone app via bluetooth to play audio that doesn't make your ears bleed. That is until they decide to cripple our Bluetooth A2DP profile on us...
Same here definitely not ear bleeding nor as horrible as when played via lossy BluetoothWe have been aware of this news since last October. Mine doesn't sound as bad as yours does though.
Model 3 reservation holder anxiously awaiting his car. I have Sirius radio in my wife's car and stream it off of my phone via bluetooth in mine. Would that too sound bad over the Tesla radio?Same here definitely not ear bleeding nor as horrible as when played via lossy Bluetooth
I have no log out button on my screen that I can see, might be I am missing, but can't see how.
