I’d like to resurrect the request to not restart the song on Slacker every single time you open and close the door. As stupid as it sounds, I bet that’s the single most annoying property of my car. I almost wrote “feature of my car”
This is fixed in 2018.12. For me the songs now resume where they stopped.
fyi this is broken again in v9 (I'm presently on 2018.50.6). It did resume correctly for a few software versions, but Slacker once again restarts the last playing song at the beginning when you get in the car. You don't even have to lock the car or leave it parked for long - just getting out, closing the door and immediately reopening it, and Slacker restarts the song.
back to the OP's topic, my sugestion:
The current voice-command bug report feature is useless to submit more detailed info e.g. how to reproduce a bug, plus the voice recognition often misinterprets if it's anything even slightly complicated to describe.
Instead, how about: issue voice command "bug report details" and a dedicated bug-report window opens up on the touchscreen where you can type in more details about a bug you want to report. Then pressing "submit" bundles the typed message with a snapshot of other relevant car/MCU data and sends it to Tesla.
...AND... most importantly generates a reference number for your report with which you can follow up with Tesla support. Oh, and there should be some guarantee that someone actually sees and responds to your bug report, unlike the current black hole where bug reports seem to go.
[...]Admittedly my standards have been reduced to the point where "does it work at all?" is my threshold of delight, the other UI offenses listed in the USB music monster thread still exist.
I suspect there's nobody at Tesla at all who owns the media player, it's the redheaded stepchild. Strange thing not to spend some resources on considering it's probably an easy win, but they're a strange company.
that's probably true. and yes, many of the media player bugs would be so simple to fix, if anybody cared in the slightest. sad that our expectations are reduced to such a low level.
