Searched for an existing thread for this, but didn't find one.

Looking through the Model S Owner's Guide, I see this:

Model S Owner's Guide p. 3 said:
When you sit in the driver’s seat, Model S powers on the instrument panel and touchscreen.

It also says this:

Model S Owner's Guide p. 3 said:
When you open the door and get out of the driver’s seat, Model S powers off, turning off the touchscreen and instrument panel. Model S also powers off automatically after being in Park for 15 minutes, even if you’re sitting in the driver’s seat.

I can envision many scenarios (working in the garage, waiting in the parking lot while my wife picks something up from the store, cleaning the inside of the car, parked at a barbecue, etc. where I want the sound system to continue playing music even though nobody is in the driver's seat (or in the car). Or when the car has been in park for 15 minutes.

Can anyone (perhaps one of our sigs who have received their cars) confirm that music will continue to play from the sound system even when the car is empty or parked longer than 15 minutes? I have to think Tesla's thought of this but this writing seems contradictory.
