Can you elaborate on selecting tracks, playlists, artists over Bluetooth, and how Tesla is "easily a decade behind"?
On my 3, track name and album art (if available) is displayed, and I can control via the touchscreen or steering wheel controls - same as on my 2016 VW Golf R.
It's more-or-less exactly what I need and want, but of course more features are more compelling. I've never seen another vehicle from any marque offer any more options over Bluetooth. If you can select playlists, can you do the same with (say) Spotify, or only with in-phone playlists of local music? iOS? Android? Both?
I wish we had the option to have Spotify instead of Slacker radio as they do in Europe, as I actually pay for Spotify, but to be honest, I don't get a whole lot of value from browsing through playlists on my in-dash screen. I used Carplay precisely twice in my Golf for this very reason. Frankly, the phone controls are more familiar and easier to use with minimal diversion of attention.
But, I'd love to hear more about what Bluetooth supports and which cars support those advanced features.
I echo your comments on the easer eggs. I give precisely zero shits about them, and IMO, they're not even easter eggs when you practically click a menu that says EASTER EGGS. When I was 14, they were fun, when passed around via word of mouth. I've never opened any of them on my 3, I just don't care. For some reason, my (retired) dad really loves them, but I guess he's got plenty of time to sit around in the car in the garage playing games :P
- cevn 8y agoI want the ability to browse my phone's library on the big screen so that I don't have to pick it up from the wireless dock. Also when you search for songs you just get random radio stations...
- rconti 8y agoSearch would be nice -- I just wish parent would elaborate because I'm not aware of this existing in any other BT device. I'm not sure how it would work, but I don't know the BT spec/featureset.
