Stupid music search function is useless!

I've had a problem for a while. When I have streaming channels on the radio in the 3, and I want to search a specific song, it usually doesn't come up.

I'll type in a song name, make sure the tab across the top of the screen is set to songs, press search, and it'll show what I want in the results, then I'll press it, and it'll play some other song from that album or artist!

I tested it today with 2 different songs, rock me amadeus and feel it still. Each song got about 20 tries for the search function to get it right, and it was almost a 100% failure rate. I think rock me amadeus was actually played one time, then subsequent searches kept getting me other songs. Why is this so hard to make work right?

I don't have a Slacker account, is that it? The search only works right if you're paying? I paid enough already, $14,000 over what I SHOULD have paid for the car, had I had it my way.

And I still hate that when searching through songs, if I press the skip button (left thumbwheel clicked to the right) one time too many, I can't go back to what I just skipped over!!!

You are not getting the premium version for free. What you get is a service like a radio station, it is generally songs similar to the one that you ask for. I believe that someone said that you can only play the same song once a day.

If you think of it as FM radio, you can choose the channel, but you can't always request a specific song to be played.

When is premium audio not premium? When it's in a Tesla. I believe part of the $14,000 I was extorted out of to get my car in 2018 was $5000 for the premium interior which included PREMIUM audio, even though I couldn't care less about premium audio.

So on top of $5000 for the audio, I'm expected to pay more? Nah.

Ignoring the whole "extorted" comment ...

"Premium" refers to the speakers, and audio quality not the level of the slacker subscription you get. As it is we get the plus account which lets us avoid commercials and have unlimited skips.
