I think the 9001 sub woofer is an anime reference, “it’s over 9000!”
Thank you! As a baby boomer I find this is the hardest car ever to become accustomed to.
Super helpful tutorial, thank you! My Model 3 is almost 4 years old and I learned some new things...Can't wait to try the subwoofer Easter Egg and never knew 'Balance' can be moved left to right, too!
3 years for me and I too learned a few nuggets. Especially the Easter Egg in the bass settings. A dynamic difference.
Thank you so much! This video was well made and cut to the chase!
I typically don'r comment on UA-cam videos. However, this video review of the Tesla sound system was excellent! Thank you, for breaking down the in's and Out's of this system.
Very helpful, thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks
Excellent information, thanks!
7:32 that's a very solid point, it did help me to learn at the beginning, my grammar is still sucks, but I was learning way faster and I was able to communicate with my classmate.
Great post. Glad my '21 Y long range has a Sub setting
Great video. Just got my car today and your video explained everything I need to know. Thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
@@BecauseTesla I just got the Tesla Y 2023 long range. the media does not have the adjustment bars to click in the upper right hand corner of the media screen... what am I missing??
@@tobis1546 it’s your lucky day. I made a video short to answer your question. It’s easier for me to show you: ua-cam.com/users/shortsSMuaHFtbA6g?feature=share
Great job man,thanks
So much good info!!! Thanks!
Superb, thank you for the video 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching this!
Thanks. I have a 2024 Model Y LR, and this is a good explanation of the audio controls. I was particularly looking for info on the equalizer settings, which you explained well. The other info in the video is also helpful. I had never thought of karaoke as a spelling and language learning tool. Nice!
Well done!
Nice video, thanks
Its perfect! Thx a lot!
Hi Erik, it was good. Enjoyed the sub Easter egg too! Maybe you want to do a video just on all the Easter eggs that Tesla has in its software? That would be great! Thanks.
Thanks for the good idea! My only problem is that Tesla changes up their software so often that the few easter eggs that I knew of are no longer there. I'll still look to see what I can come up with. Thanks!
Good video!
Tesla is truly on ANOTHER LEVEL!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
Thank you
Great video!! Is there a way to control the speakers so the kids can watch and listen in the back and I can listen to something different in front? I have a model X. Thank you.
there is an update out now that allows your kids to connect headphones to the rear display in the back, that plays just the audio on the back screen
Excellent video! What was the AM radio work around?
TuneIn app lets you stream radio stations from around the world over the internet connection in the car. Those radio stations can be AM or FM. I’m in Chicago, so I can listen to local AM radio stations this way. I can also listen to stations from Europe. It’s awesome. The TuneIn app is built into every Tesla. 😎
@@BecauseTesla thank you for the info 🙏🏿
Thank You for the video. I like to know how USB option shows music folder structure (artist names?) And would Music from USB sound better than Bluetooth?
yes
Super awesome video your in hammond Indiana too. Which is the town I live in and the golf course where you are is where I play as well
How do you silence the "radio" volume yet keep the on-screen phone volume on ?? As I have it now, I must have the "radio" volume turned up in order hear when I receive a phone call and the music is playing as I am talking on the car's microphone.
Is immersive sound only noticeable using Spotify via the speakers on the pillar? I haven’t paid for premium and use the BT in my phone and I can barely hear the sound coming from the pillar speakers even when immersive is set to high?
I have a ‘22 Model Y Performance.
I have the same issue in my 23 perform. I have an appointment with Tesla and will ask them in a few days .
"His power level is over 9000" Dragon Ball Z
Thanks! I've seen that before, but never related it to this for some reason. Interesting
I have a 2021 model 3 long range. Does upgrading the speakers help? The sound is not bad, but getting enough power to all speakers seems to be the challenge. Any recommendations??
Hey Brian. I upgraded my speakers to the carbon fiber speakers by Light Harmonic. I have a few videos on my channel about them. I really like how they sound. I think my next audio upgrade will be the premium audio upgrade kit from Hansshow. The kit includes a few digital signal processors and a new sub and box. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll make a video on it whenever I have the kit in my hands.
I'm curious about your experience with USB. Do you use a large portable SSD, like 1TB? Do you use FLAC and add the cover art to your files (with a tool like MP3Tag). Is there a resolution limit in Tesla for the cover art?
I was using a high-speed USB thumb drive (256MB) for a few years but ran out of space this past year. I am currently using my SSD (Samsung T7) and it holds 500MB. It does ok but takes forever to load. I've played around with FLAC, but decided against it due to the file size. I would rather have more songs than higher quality. So with the latest software from Tesla, they now show album artwork if it is attached to the file in your USB drive. I'm in the Apple iTunes ecosystem (have been for years), so it's just easier to use Apple's codec. It's a smaller files size, but without the loss in audio quality. For example, an Apple AAC file at 256k is going to often sound better than an MP3 at 320k. If I buy from Apple, the artwork is automatically attached. If I download an MP3 from somewhere else, then I can add its artwork in iTunes if it's not already attached. I don't consider myself an "audiophile", although I do appreciate high quality, I would rather have more quantity than higher quality (in my car). In a recording studio...that's entirely different. If there is a resolution limit in the Tesla, I am not aware of what that limit is.
Butting in here :) After a quick search i found that 1600×1600 pixels seems to be the industry standard for streaming audio artwork.
Also, i use a 1tb sandisk usb 3 stick in the 2.0 port in my aging 2019 m3 dualmotor. I get stable playback of 16bit 192khz, have not tested 24 flac yet though.
Hope this helped u out :)
More often than not, when I get into my Model 3 Performance, the audio source will just change to some random band I fgollow on Spotify (Nile mostly). ANd sometimes I can get out and nip into the shop, get back in and the podcast I'm listening to will just start from the begining again. It's really pissing me off now. I cannot find a fix! And when I listen to MP3s via USB/SSD and change source, then go back to USB I have to start at the root of the drive gaini and not the track I was previously listening to. Can anyone help?
Ordered the rear wheel drive and I want to add the rear speakers and subwoofer. any suggestions?
Hansshow makes a kit for you. Look up hansshow SR speaker upgrade kit. Use code “becausetesla” to save $$.
Just wanted to know I sold my Model 3 but still watch your channel. 😉👍
James, you rock! Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear that the model 3 is no longer around.
@@BecauseTesla Your so welcome! Don’t worry I replaced it with another electric vehicle. The new Hyundai Ioniq 5. 😊
@@jamespeterson7100 Congrats on the Ioniq. I sat in a few at the Chicago Auto show. They're nice, but I still prefer my Tesla. How are you liking it so far compared to your Tesla?
@@BecauseTesla I saw you in that video and you sitting in the Ioniq 5. I’m enjoying it very much. I especially like the screen in front of me as well as the HUD. And you know my luck with after market HUDs was horrible but you got lucky with yours. 😄 I haven’t been able to take advantage of the super fast charging 20 to 80% in 18 minutes because the Electrify America charger that is close to me is completed however they haven’t activated yet. When they do I will have free 30 minute charging at their fast charger for my 1st 2 years of ownership. One thing I miss about the Tesla is the sentry mode. I hated to part with that but I guess you have to take the good with the bad on every car. I was initially going to go with the Model Y before this came out and probably would have if not for the constant price increases and terribly long wait time. So when this came out with all the features I was looking for like Apple car play, HuD, excellent blind spot monitoring I decided to pull the trigger and glad I did. 😊
@@jamespeterson7100 Thanks for sharing. I do like that magnetized area on the left side dash to hold an iPhone with magsafe.
New to Tesla, this was extremely helpful. Thank so much.
Like lots of older couples couples my hearing is in decline and my wife's not so much. Is there recommended setting that can get me a higher audio level and my wife a lower level? We struggle with getting a volume setting that I can hear and my wife finds comfortable.
Your best bet is to pan the audio over to your side of the car. This will lower volume from the speakers near her, and raise the volume near you. Just play around with those Left/Right Front/Back settings.
Thanks so much. I will give it a try@@BecauseTesla
Does anyone know if during the order process for a SR Model 3 whether or not you can upgrade to premium audio?
I don’t think you can but you can do some upgrades your self once you get it
No, you can not. Part of the cost savings from SR model is lack of stereo equipment. I feel that the LR AWD version is the best version and value overall...you get the longest amount of range, plus the upgraded stereo. If you want a more premium stereo in the SR model, you will have to install your own aftermarket kit like the one that Hansshow sells.
I love the Sound in my Model 3 LR, but I have to say the actual on-Screen Radio leaves a Lot to be desired!
As my understanding tidal doesn’t have a higher bitrate Inless you download the songs over wifi?
I haven't heard anything about downloading it over wifi. There are songs and albums that say "Hifi" next to them, and those stream at 1411kbps or 16-Bit / 44.1 kHz. If you upgrade your account to the highest tier, you can stream "Master Quality" audio which reflects the original source and can stream up to 9216 kbps or 24-Bit / 192 kHz (typically 96 kHz / 24 bit). The songs without the label stating "Hifi" or "Master" seem to be streaming in standard audio like Spotify. If I play a song in the free Slacker Streaming app in the Tesla, and then play the same song in Tidal with the "Hifi" label, I can hear an improvement in audio.
@@BecauseTesla Tesla isn’t allowing the master quality tracks to stream or even be downloaded :/ It seems to be able to listen in Hi-Fi, you have to have the songs downloaded over wifi
With the USB mode can you use playlists?
I created folders for a static playlist. I also have complete albums in their own folders. It’s easy if you set and forget, but can be a lot of work if you change things up often.
Thank you for sharing your expertise on Tesla sound system! Got a sub.
So, so helpful. Thank you very much.
Which streaming audio service is preferred? Tidal? Slacker radio? Spotify?
Slacker is great if you want to hear a song, and the service is free (no subscription). Tidal and Spotify are great for listening to entire albums, but both require a monthly subscription. I’ve been listening to Spotify more often lately. So it depends on how much you want to pay. The winners would be Slacker (free) and Spotify (paid).
Thanks for the video. The 9001.0 is a reference to Dragon Ball Z
Is there any way to rewind or replay songs in Slacker?
There’s not a replay button, but I replay songs all the time (for my kids). The method I use is voice commands. I press the right side scroll wheel to activate voice command and say “play *song title* by *artist name*” and it usually plays it. It lets me do that same song over and over again.
@@BecauseTesla thanks!
🇺🇸🌻🇺🇸👍🤗🥰🤩 Thank you very much 😊
Decent overall review, though rather light on detail. Would be useful to include things like bitrates... Slacker is 40kbps on Tesla though can be higher if you install the LiveOne (renamed Slacker) on cell phone. While you might like the power shifted to the right as a driver , power of audio output DOES NOT DETERMINE SPEED ... As you even mention "speed of sound" but don't mention it is a constant in air (761 MPH) so making it louder on one side doesn't make it arrive to that ear sooner or later. You might like the way it sounds better that way but in no way is your description of time of audio arrival valid.
auto immersive sound goes to standard if you arent playing a song. try it while playing a song.
Thanks, I'll try that out.
Greg info tks
Soooo tell me why doesn’t this have IHEARTRADIO installed
Good question. I bet it has something to do with licensing. I personally have been waiting for Apple Music since iTunes is my oldest account.
Elon Musk put a lot of pop culture references in the Tesla so the 9001.0 in the sub woofer is most likely a reference to Dragon Ball Z
I don’t care how good the stereo is in the car, but every car I will own will always be on max base!
My screen does not look like yours. There is no slider to adjust anything
9001.0 is related to the over 9000 dragonball meme, just FYI
Thanks!
The lack of savable eq presets sucks
On my 2023 SR RWD M3 the four A pillar speakers were disabled, but Tesla leaves them in. Hanshow has a wiring harness for $59.00 that hooks them up. We did it last night and it really improved the sound stage, and the amp seems to have plenty of poop so it's not washed out.
That is not how the speed of sound works….
I agree. The proper way is to use a DSP that allows delay on one side, but since we don’t have that capability built in, this is the next best thing. Not perfect, but it sounds better to my ears.
Agreed, it’s just a volume thing. Having the speaker further from your ear turned up louder gives a more even volume mix.
it's not an amp model, lol. it's an internet meme.
Nonsense!
How so?
The immigrant comment took me out
Karen
Absolute basic useless video missing main part why I clicked on it ,that is to stop annoying audio adjustments of volume going down everytime I move around on my seat !
7:22 did you really say inmigrants? thats so racist, stopped watching and disliked
LOL, WTF? How is the word immigrant racist? Immigrant means to come from another country. Usually they don’t speak the language. White people from Poland here are immigrants. How is that racist? Race has more to do with skin tone and ethnicity, not language. By the way, my wife’s family immigrated here from México and her parents don’t speak English. They’re learning by watching TV in English. The karaoke in the Tesla is another great way to learn because it spells out the word for you while being pronounced by the singer. Do you still feel that I’m wrong after my explanation?
@@BecauseTesla Agree with you. I am an immigrant and don't take offense on that. If I had that in my car when I came to this country 20+ years ago it would have helped a lot understanding what I was singing or trying to sing. Some people are made of glass and turn anything into "that's racist" comment. Thanks for your video!
@@BecauseTesla dude you dropped so many gems on audio and the whole system and this man took one word which actually is a good idea and spun that around? lol people i tell ya...great video as well. I actually might use that idea as another way to practice my spanish. thank you for this video
😂😂🤦♂️ some people. Geeesh, they take offense from nothing
I hope this is satire
