"Loading Error" while streaming music

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
For the last 3-4 days I haven't been able to stream music from Tesla's streaming service.
I still have the 1 year premium connectivity and Netflix works fine but the music does not.

Anyone else ran into this?

I don't think it was the recent update because I had no issues for several days after the update was installed.
I'm connected on LTE according to the car.
I tried to hotspot from my phone and still get 'Loading Error'.

The car is barely 3 months old.
 
...I haven't been able to stream music from Tesla's streaming service...

"Loading Error" happens to me quite often with Slacker app. If I keep listening to the same"Favorite" it would eventually give me that error. I then just have to find another "Favorite" to play on and keep switching when it happens again. Sometimes that doesn't work then I just go to Tune-In and play something to make sure it works then I just switch back to Slacker. If that doesn't work, I just reboot the display. If that doesn't work, I just play my backup flash drive.
 
i've been getting this periodically with Spotify. Listen to a podcast then try to play an album and "Loading Error." it will play another podcast episode, but not music. Rebooting the UI seems to be the only fix, or switch to streaming from my phone instead.

Same here! Usually it corrects itself on the next drive but it has not over the last three days. I tried turning my Bluetooth on and off and next I’m going to turn my phone off.
 
You user manual explains how to reboot the display (infotainment system). You hold the two scroll wheels on your steering until the screen goes dark. You then leave it a couple minutes to boot back. The car is drivable during that time but you have no feedback.

As for fixing, no. IMO It's either a LTE / server connectivity error or a software bug that prevents it from properly resuming when there are network issues. Because in a wireless connection, there are always errors and missing packets.

I have the same issue, by chance can you tell me how you resolved it?

Try 2 button salute. This happen to me one day recently. None of the streaming stuff worked, Slacker, TuneIn or Tidal. The 2 button reset fixed it.
 
I have the same problem of loading errors with some tune-in podcasts. It has gotten worse during the past month. Some podcasts work fine and others never load. Haven’t seen a pattern yet. Anyone find a solution to perpetually loading tune-in podcasts (aka the spinning reload icon)?

Thanks for specifics. Finding it in the user manual Is hard. No “reboot”, not under screen displays or entertainment.
