Sirius/XM app comes and goes

Been like that for me many months. I can usually get it back, but it varies. Tesla software will allegedly drive my car by itself soon, but they can't make SiriusXM work at all. Must be rocket science. 
HAHA... so true.Been like that for me many months. I can usually get it back, but it varies. Tesla software will allegedly drive my car by itself soon, but they can't make SiriusXM work at all. Must be rocket science.
It's been 6 years and auto-steer is still not hands free.
But don't worry, FSD is coming this fall
Scroll wheel reboot works. Sometimes.
Sometimes it magically comes and goes mid-drive.

Twice- And both times the SC cancelled my appointment and called to say they are aware of it and engineers are working on it......That was November 2021 and again Feb. 10, 2022.
Well, SiriusXM had been working pretty good. I haven't gotten any updates from Tesla. Today it happened. Lost SiriusXM completely. Not in Sources. It just decided not to appear. While driving, I rebooted once -- nothing; twice -- nothing; third time it appears, and all is back to "normal". It doesn't make computer sense that it would just suddenly disappear, and rebooting would not restore it until the third reboot. Why would it disappear? Why would it take 3 reboots to fix? Why not 102 reboots? Computers are not supposed to dynamically change logic and produce unpredictable results without a change in inputs. Is this new Tesla neural processing, where the processor gets moody?
+1. I have 2021 refresh and I loose Sirius every software update. It usually re-appears within driving 50km. Occasionally I have lost it in between updates, and same thing, it magically re-appears after a bit of driving.
My radio is typically tuned to a SiriusXM station. Normally, when I get into the car the radio is muted and I have to press the left scroll ball to unmute the radio. This seems to be normal behavior when things are working properly. Sometimes I get into the car and the radio is already unmuted... The radio is now tuned to a terrestrial station and SiriusXM may or may not be in the sources menu. If it's in the sources menu, I can select it and it plays as usual. If not, I have to wait for it to magically reappear. It will usually reappear in an hour or so.
It seems to consistently lose SiriusXM when a software update is performed. I've only performed updates when the car is parked in my garage. Maybe, when the a reboot occurs after an update the car looks for a signal from the SiriusXM satellites and because it's in the garage, it doesn't receive the signal. Thus, removing SiriusXM from the sources menu. Who knows? This thing has a mind of its own.

This seems to be the case from my experience, although Sirius does not disappear with every software update. Strange and inconsistent.
I had a software update Thursday evening and this time I didn't lose SiriusXM as a source. The radio was not tuned to Sirius XM after the update. It was tuned to a local radio station, maybe the first thing in my 'favorites'. But, SiriusXM was still in my sources and I was able to select a SiriusXM station easily.
