Spotify on version 9
- Thread starter Dborn
- Start date
Not sure why romantic mode even exists. Fart mode is even worse, especially when these are put out whilst so many people are having problems with their software functioning as stated.
paulp , have you tried fart mode?
I was showing how silly i thought the idea was, but ended up with a carfull of family laughing hysterically. Good for at least a one-time gag. (not saying I approve of the waste of Developer time....)
I get they are trying to keep the car different to anything else out there with silly gags and easter eggs. The problem was the romantic mode and fart noises came out at a time when the software was very unstable, certain things just didn't work at all (eg Spotify) and the service centres no doubt under the guidance from Tesla HQ were telling everyone all the operational issues will be fixed in the next update. They didn't get fixed, instead they grabbed some media attention with the easter eggs.
Yes of course I’ve tried it. Great for a laugh, although I generally dont look to my car for comic relief, rather I look to my car to provide a safe, secure, pleasurable fault free robust driving experience. I just prefer tesla focus on the fault free and robust bit, as the safe, secure, and pleasurable has been met.

Hi All,
Any further update on this issue?
I just purchased a Telsa Model 3. Two questions:
1. should it have a web browser (software V.9 states it does but I can't see it)
2. Music voice controls:
-This is my major area of concern.
-If I say "Triple M" via the voice control, the radio switches on and will default to 91.0 (but not Triple M). If I say "radio" nothing happens at all. Any advice on how to better to control this?
- I can find no voice activated command that will switch to "Media" (ie. anything playing on my iPhone via Spotify). I need to do that manually. Should there be a voice control function?
The reason I'm after a browser is to download tesplay which I understand should solve the latter issue. Reading this post, it doesn't sound like others have this issue (I assume most on this forum have the Model S).
I can also see lots of recommendations to load music on a USB and plug it in but that would be a last resort.
Any thoughts or guidance would be welcome.

I am guessing you have the SR+ version? That will not have web browser AFAIK as the browser would require premium connectivity which only comes with LR or Performance models (and which would also give you Spotify). There has been mention that SR+ owners may be able to upgrade and pay for Premium Connectivity but not sure if/when that is happening.
Sorry can't help with voice commands for radio or other media - I only ever use Spotify or TuneIn in the car. Have found the voice control of Spotify a bit hit and miss as it has a tendency to hang rather than selecting what I want but now that I have my Spotify playlists set up I usually just pick a playlist when I get in the car and never touch it after that unless daughter is in the car in which case I lose all control!
I don't know how different the Model 3 might be but the voice control is the Model-S is pretty bad, I'm not sure if it hasn't been tweaked for non American accents or it is just sub par, I don't even bother with it in my Model-S. Mind you I've not bothered with it in the other cars I have that support such a thing.
When you say 'download tesplay', what is that? Either way I am pretty sure you can't download and install things like you would a browser on a PC. I have looked at the browser in my car and I probably would rather grab my phone to look something up vs use the cars browser (note, my Model-S only has 3G and WiFi isn't even Wireles-N spec!).
I'm surprised you say that, because it is really good for me. Excellent ability to pick what song I am after and play it. Better than Siri.
Maybe we speak quite differently?
(Sorry TED M3, I know little about the voice control in the Model 3)
Spotify is coming to everyone with the V10 software according to the Tesla release notes.
Introducing Software Version 10.0

It will only work when connected to WiFi if you don't have premium connectivity. I would assume that you could possibly set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot though and then it should work when driving if you don't mind using your phone data?
You can't. Wifi disables if car not in P. I'm sure they could change that in software but at the moment the hotspot solution will only work in Park.
Fingers crossed that's not for just the US (where Spotify hasn't been available in Teslas at all up till now). Remember other countries have had a browser for a while here it was only (re)enabled a month ago.
Pressing the voice button and waiting 4 or 5 seconds for it to come to life is pretty annoying as well. Maybe it is better now some of the V9 bugs are ironed out, I just haven't bothered checking each update for any improvement.

You can switch back to WiFi as soon as you put it into drive.
Stories from USA is sr+ has Spotify on the move over LTE anyhow
