As a family it’s been useful - we’ve found it better to have a single shared Spotify account in the car as it doesn’t require switching between users or, alternatively, doesn’t pollute people’s play history (and therefore recommendations) with each others’ preferences. Also doesn’t stop music playing at home via GCCs when leaving in the car.

That said, having our own Spotify ‘family’ account will be easier anyway, as that can be logged into on other devices, so easier to manage playlists etc.

I had no idea that the premium connectivity also included access to spotify until today too.

If I'd known when I got the car a year ago then I might not have bothered with an Apple Music subscription, not that it matters now anyway.

I only found out that my 15 month old MY had spotify around a month ago.
Can't say I had used it for more than a few minutes.
Oh well... easy come, easy go.

I stopped using the cars Spotify account once they added the ability to link Spotify accounts to car profiles. Since I use Spotify outside of the car on most of my devices, I (and my partner) have always had a Premium subscription, so we just signed into our own accounts in each of our profiles.

Don't forget, if you have a Spark mobile plan then you may also be entitled to a free Spotify Premium subscription through that.

… and I’ve just logged into our ‘unused’ Spotify account (the spare from our Spotify Family sub) and found it’s clearly the one being used in the Tesla! So I have been logged into that in the car for ages, and don’t use the ‘free’ one that comes with the Tesla Premium sub service.

If the responses on here (ie none using the supplied Spotify) are typical of wider Tesla owners, removing the free Premium account may not even affect many people.

Why not just log into Spotify in the car with your own account?

Obraik:

Explained in an earlier post, which I’ll quote here:

… we’ve found it better to have a single shared Spotify account in the car as it doesn’t require switching between users or, alternatively, doesn’t pollute people’s play history (and therefore recommendations) with each others’ preferences. Also doesn’t stop music playing at home via GCCs when leaving in the car.

The Tesla is our longer-distance car - music that’s played needs to work for all in the car, not just the driver, so it’s actually convenient and effective to have a single account that reflects everyone’s taste.

I imagine this isn’t an issue for those traveling alone or with only a partner!

Sorry yes, I did miss that!

I guess in that scenario, since I don’t believe there’s a limit on how many profiles you can have, I’d duplicate my car profile and make it a “Family” profile that has the generic Spotify account that won’t pollute your own account with kids music That way when you’re alone you still have access to your playlists and teach the algorithm your music preferences.

My road trips are usually with people that also have a Spotify account so we just set up a “Jams” session so they can add their music to the queue without affecting my algorithm.

I am looking to buy my first Tesla, and wonder what the chances are of getting a low milage 2022 for $35k. There are plenty of M3 for sale on TradeMe, however none at that pricepoint yet they seem to spend months on TM waiting to be sold.

Most of them at that space are about $40k. I asked one seller privately, but he refused. Surely in this uncertian time, there must be people wanting to unload their cars quickly, becuase they are going overseas etc, and are willing to sell below the market to do so.

I just want to stick a big sign up somewhere with "I want your car but only have $35k spare".

Any ideas?

@netspanner, $35k may be a bit on the low side for 2022 with low km. However there certainly are decent private deals that out there.

There's a Tesla NZ buy & sell group on Facebook that quite often has people selling their cars due to moving overseas etc. Some of the asking prices are a bit out of touch though.

Remember, what people are asking isn't always what they're going for. Keep messaging sellers with your offer and you may get lucky.

Your pricing will easily get you a 2021, or a 2022 with higher km. The 2022 certainly has a few improvements over the 2021.

Define "low mileage".
Why should people sell "below market" because you only have $35K?
You'll find that people will be more willing to do a deal if you actually turn up, take the car for a test drive and then negotiate face to face.

Under 50k, preferably about 30K
Because they want a quick sale.
Yeah, nah. I wouldn't want to be "that guy" I would hate to meet someone who operated like that.
