This was in response to my signing up for Slacker Premium, building playlists on my computer and then trying to use it in my Model 3. Result: zilch. I then contacted Slacker.com support and received the above response (which contradicts what Tesla and these forums say.

If that is the case then your so called Premium is worthless. Moreover, you are selling the upgrade under false pretences since you, and Tesla, claim that Premium accounts ARE supported by Tesla Model 3s (and that statement appears in the manual in the car and online). In the circumstances you now owe a refund to all of those who have signed up for Premium Slacker accounts and who have logged in via the control panel in their Tesla.

Past time that Tesla switched to Spotify and ditched Slacker (which is atrocious in choice, GUI, stability, and support)

Sep 15, 2017 CNET said that
Slacker Radio, one of the
longest-running streaming music services in the US, is being acquired by the live music network LiveXLive Media in a deal worth $50 million in cash and stock, the companies announced Friday.
Slacker Radio was founded in 2006 and offered a twist on streaming music by blending a Pandora-like service into its own iPod rival: the
Slacker Portable Player.
Much like any of the streaming apps of today, including Slacker, you could download curated music stations onto the device and listen to them anywhere you went. This may be commonplace now, but it was a big deal at a time when
the original iPhone barely had an App Store.
Following the release of its sequel, the
G2 Personal Radio Player, Slacker eventually left the hardware business in favor of apps for the iPhone, Android phones and even the
Palm Pre.
That said, it looks like Slacker Radio isn't going anywhere despite the new ownership.
LiveXLive says it plans to use Slacker Radio's music service to complement its existing video programming.
