If you have the credentials for the tesla slacker account, you can go to the site and set the streaming to 320kbps, as well as enable the espn cut in. After doing this I have noticed I cannot stream music if I am on Wifi, only from the cell connection. Also I cannot really tell if its any better I know at least the espn cut in is working, so I would believe the 320kbps is working as well but no real proof.
This sounds great. But can someone please post the exact steps to be followed to enable a Model S to stream 320 kbs Slacker? Instructions like get credentials from Tesla, go to Slacker's site and set streaming to 320 are great if you know what you are doing. But for those of us who are somewhat challenged in working with Slacker's website a bit more help would be appreciated. I was just on Slacker's site and would not know where to begin. Thanks.
Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors Technical Support. For Slacker Radio, your account credentials can be accessed/changed from inside the vehicle on the touchscreen. Press “Controls” in the bottom left corner, then “Settings” at the top, then “Apps” on the left side, then “Media”. You should be able to modify the Slacker credentials there if you’ve created your own Slacker account.
Hopefully this helps, but feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or if that did not properly address the question.
This happened when asking just for the credentials?
Yeah, I think they seem to be steering away from giving out the Tesla credentials now it seems or it depends on who gets your request and their knowledge, training, or day they've had ;-) I could see Tesla saying if you want to change credentials for any reasons, increased bandwidth, etc that you should use your own Slacker account.
Slacker Premium cost $10 a month in reality, not horrible. It lets you manage favs, stations, and while they all let you change to 320, only Premium upgraded Slacker really seems to send 320 to you when available.
How does changing the setting to 320 on the car web browser affect the setting in the Tesla app for Slacker? You can log onto your Slacker account from any computer and make the 320 change, but that needs to be done on each device. Setting your preference to 320 does not affect all of your devices. So, if you change the Slacker setting to 320 on your Tesla web browser, it seems that will set your download speed for the browser only (which does not have audio capability). Thoughts...

Did you have a chance to do that packet capture? I'm dying to know if the quality increase is just the placebo affect. Thanks!
Yep I did last night, What I found was interesting but have sent an email to slacker to confirm. Once I get an update from them ill post the info.
