Glad you are making progress. It would be nice if they had a 10 band integrated EQ.
Well, I think I'm a good 6 hours from you in SW Colorado. I do have a friend with a Model 3, so maybe sometime I'll do this, but no promises.So, I see you're in Colorado. Personally not a huge audiophile myself, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to meet up with to do some analysis on the 3's speakers to publish a similar guide for that car. I'm in the greater Denver area, but I'm open for a reasonable drive.
Certainly don't have any expectations that you'd want to, but I thought I'd volunteer at any rate. This was a pretty fascinating write up to me.
The build date of the car is October 2016. That was the month Tesla changed over to autopilot hardware 2.0 with all the extra cameras and such. I didn't buy my car until early 2017 when it was an inventory model and selling for a discount because it now lacked some of the interior changes that had been made with current vehicles. The way Tesla works, your car literally could have been built a week before mine and had older hardware.Wait. You got your in October 2016? I got mine in November 2016 and i have HW1.0. How is that possible?
I think you're correct to some extent, but more than the listener's age, I would say it represents the type of music you listen to. Listening to a nice jazz quartet with the bass cranked to "11" would be atrocious. But listening to some of that music "those young whippersnappers" are listening to these days, some chest-thumping bass is enjoyable.Great work and very informative post. I’m fairly confident after reading this and other threads about the change in audio performance with the MCU upgrade that we’re all hearing the same change and that some of us love it and some of us hate it. Substantially expanded bass that requires turning it down to get to a neutral sound stage, if that’s what you prefer, resulting in people saying it’s muffled and it’s a downgrade. Significantly enhanced power on the low end resulting in those who prefer that loving it. Without intentionally implying anything about age, just personal preference, my dad would hate the change, while I love it
NopeSo you guys with the regular sound system and MCU2 upgrade are all getting bass out of the rear two door speakers when you slide the balance to the back seats? Because I am not. Please report.
I tried to isolate the sound to each speaker. It does sound flat and lack of bass. But can’t tell if that is normal since I had a sub installed a couple of months after I got the car and used to the good bass.Hmm, same problem @smilepak then. I don't even have an appointment for them to look at it till next month. But if you have the identical problem it could be software or hardware related and they might not be able to figure it out. Let me know what they find as a fix for yours please. If they can't fix it or say that is the way it is, what are you going to do? Ask for a refund? Put MCU1 back in?
Can any of you audio experts that have the MCU2 upgrade and regular sound system please check if putting the balance all to the two rear speakers, do they work properly, or is the volume about half of what it should be and with absolutely no bass at all? It seems like after the upgrade all bass is directed to the front center speaker and nothing two the two back door speakers. It is very odd, and I would like to know if any of you experienced this after the upgrade. MCU1 had perfect sound and bass in the two rear speakers for 2 years before I "upgraded"
Wanted to make some corrections. I actually used some known sound files from the Sheffield /A2TB Test Disc "My Disk" tracks 47-52 "1-3 Octave Pink Noise" (which by the way is free if you have Apple music or Pandora) to do some sound observations and not guessing what i think the speakers are producing. This is obviously not scientific but what I hear. I did the test by putting my ear directly next to the door speakers and listening for the drop offs.After my MCU upgrade my front doors only play bass notes 80-100hz and below. (Opposite of what others are describing) No vocals or higher frequencies at all. Back door speakers are the opposite. They play all the higher frequencies. My sound is now sort of muffled even with settings turned way down in the eq to combat distortion. I routinely listen to hard rock at high volumes. The sound just hurts now with distortion that was not there before the upgrade. I agree with WASD that they messed around with a great sound system and ruined it for me at least. The UHFS system was one of the best parts of my Model S. I believe they need to either give more control or put it back to where it was otherwise I almost want my MCU1 back. Don’t really need to pay $2500 to make my sound system worse.
