I have this problem but I think it is a problem with iPhone automatically playing not the car?
In my case it's playing Slacker, not from my phone.

So... some people here are annoyed that audio plays automatically and others are annoyed that it doesn't.
For the record, before 6.2 Tesla had that switch too -- the setting of pause/play was remembered when your rentered the car.But seriously, other systems have a way to satisfy both groups. It's called an "on-off switch". I'm pretty sure the patents are available for Tesla to license on a royalty-free basis.

[A] If you want "auto-play", don't pause when leaving the vehicle.
If you don't want "auto-play", then pause when you leave the vehicle.
appears to be broken by 6.2 and that's what the OP is complaining about. The bluetooth/phone issue is something different, perhaps worthy of its own thread.
Actually, this is only semi-true. It appears that regardless of the energy-saving setting, the car goes into energy-saving mode during "the night-time hours" (this is confirmed both by the car's behavior and by the help text for the energy-saving control). So, the bug recurs the first time I go to the car in the morning, but not when I drive it subsequently during the day.
By the way, I turned off energy-saving and turned on always on mode, and I still have the problem.
Can I get an Amen! And now that sending feedback to [email protected] is pointless, I guess this is our only voice.

The audio software seems to have problem when resuming from sleep mode - such as the auto-play feature mentioned here, or in losing the position or file of files being played.
I'm not sure if you meant that it was pointless because the address doesn't work any longer, or because you believe there's a lack of meaningful responses from the correct address. But in case it's the first, or for those that do want to write, the correct address, in North America, is now [email protected].
But this wasn't really an on/off solution. In my view, this too was a work-around for the fact that the Model S does not have simple on/off ability for the audio system. One reason "pause" was not equivalent to "off" is that if you have the audio displaying on the dash or the 17" display, it will still be displaying in those places when paused. Personally, I'd prefer true on/off ability, though this is, admittedly, low on my list of things the car doesn't do that I'd like it to do.
One way that does really get the audio to "off" is to be playing from a bluetooth source, and to remove that source. I normally have audio as the dash's left display option. My wife drives home from work, listening to books on tape, stored on her phone. If I drive the car next, the spot where the audio would ordinarily be displayed on the dash is blank, and the audio is really and truly "off."
I imagine that playing from a bluetooth source and then disabling bluetooth on that source would accomplish the same thing--true audio off.
I really couldn't care less about "true audio off" and don't really get why people obsess over it. If it isn't making sound, it's off. However, if it wasn't making sound when I left the car, I don't want it to be making sound when I get back in.
I don't know that anyone is obsessing over it. I'm certainly not. I just disagree with your assessment that "if it isn't making sound, it's off." If there's a big picture prominently displayed on my dash, indicating my music is paused, it's paused (and on). When that big picture is replaced with blank space, it's off.
What if it showed the last thing you were listening to, but said underneath "But it's turned off now" :wink: You can easily switch it to display something else if it bothers you.
Has anyone also noted that the USB drive music continues to advance the music despite being paused while the car is off. Not only does paused music start up when opening the door, but the song being played may be a few tracks or even many tracks later in the playlist than it was when you paused it.
Yes, I'm seeing the same issue, though I don't pause the music when I get out, so it's always started playing for me when I get in. It's just that recently, as you say, it's on an entirely different track when I get in than when I left the car the night before. I'm going to send some email to Tesla about this.
Since the latest firmware when I return to the car after it has charged over night it is ALWAYS on the last track of the album, like it was "whistling while it worked" to charge and thus played through the album.
For that matter, there's no need for them to write this to the external USB device. They've got plenty of internal storage to be able to write a few bytes of state information. It's just a bug.Does anyone know whether Tesla's USB interface allows write capability? Seems to me all they need to do is create a temp file on the USB drive that records the number of the file playing and the time position in the song, so that is can resume from the same position, and then who cares whether the car is completely powered down?
I have the opposite happen to me. I leave the car to either charge overnight, go to work, eat, etc. and when I return the music is always on the same track I left it on, but more often than not it loses its place and simply starts from the beginning.?
What you're seeing is entirely consistent with the behavior I describe. Your "album" is one track long. It wakes up, continues playing and completes the entire track. It then stops (as the album is over) and when you get into the car it is "at the beginning" which is of course the same as at the end!
