TESLA NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW
I've had my MYLR for nearly a year and now I have another reason to HATE the so-called "entertainment" system. Love the car except for this and for me it is an Achilles heel.
It is incredibly needlessly complex and cluttered and, it seems, cannot be addressed in any user configurable way, like an iPad or a smartphone. Why?
I have to live with icons for MSNBC, Garth Brooks greatest hits and about a million other icons on multiple pages with headings like "Recent" and "For You" and "Stuff You Would Delete If Possible." There is NO user configurable page and For You doesn't count.
TuneIn is amazingly primitive. The display on my Honda Accord is FAR better, but as I said I now have a new reason to hate it.
Another user suggested that if I log in on my phone to TuneIn I can configure my screen.
If you log in to TuneIn on the Tesla display a QR code comes up that takes you to the TuneIn webpage to log in. Even though there is a free version, they still ask for a credit card for verification. Yes, sketchy...I thought only porn sites did that.
I tried two Capital One venture VISA cards multiple times and every time I got the message that they were "sorry" my cards were not acceptable for their system. It wasn't that they couldn't verify or there was an absent field, but more like Captial One Venture cards were just not accepted. Hmmm, sketchier yet, so, foolishly, I tried my wife's USAA VISA. This one got farther but still asked me repeatedly to "update my card info" and would go no farther.
Screw that. I gave up.
Within about 5 minutes, my wife was getting a call from USAA abut her VISA card, the one I just used, questioning a charge. I told her that was me and explained. She said the USAA rep reported the charge to be $39.99. Huh? For what? An "escort service" in DC.
So, not only is the display user hostile, but one of its major functions is stealing and selling credit card information.
