It comes with a built-in Spotify Premium app which gives you access to literally millions of songs - pretty much anything you've ever heard of. If that's not enough you can stream internet radio, podcasts etc or even listen to DAB and FM if you must! You can stream directly from your phone too, but I've never felt the need. For me the music interface has been one of the best features of the car. If I think of a track I want to listen to I just use the voice command to find it. You can obviously create playlists too or listen to many curated playlists on Spotify. I think I've discovered more new music in the last 3 months with this car than in the previous decade!

Autopilot is pretty expensive, but not something most other cars even offer. So you can view it as a brand new technology and decide whether or not to buy into it. Battery upgrades are expensive too, that's just how it is with EVs today. Again you are paying for new technology, so hard to compare it against a conventional engine. But as we know, performance upgrades in ICE cars are not exactly cheap either!Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 2:28 pmAnd the average US punter puts a on minimum of @$12K of extras. Autopilot etc. So a $47K without the incentive - which will expire soon anyway. Not cheap!Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 1:24 pmYep. The guy in the video says a basic one with smallest batteries would be £35k, which I think I've heard before. The fully loaded test car was £57k.
I suspected as much, in which case I’d have completely start again. Don’t do music on the phone; don’t do Spotify. I think I’ve only downloaded two tracks in my entire life. To paraphrase a previous opinion ... if you don’t like it, tough, buy something else!Peteski wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 2:55 pmIt comes with a built-in Spotify Premium app which gives you access to literally millions of songs - pretty much anything you've ever heard of.

I presume there is some means of charging a phone etc?

I think that's about right. I expect most will end up in the £40-50K bracket in the end. But the performance and range will be class leading. It's going to be a lot faster and more refined than a base diesel 3-series for example. It's going to have the performance of a 330/335 which are in a similar price bracket. Low running costs will be attractive to many people too.
There are USB ports everywhere in my Tesla, so charging a phone is simple.Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:04 pm

For music, just search for whatever you fancy at the time (voice command is good) and it will just play it for you. There is no need to even think about music libraries. Just build a favourites list as you go, it couldn't be any easier. My personal phone music library has been gathering dust since getting this car.
So, for the S is the subscription included?Peteski wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:13 pmThere are USB ports everywhere in my Tesla, so charging a phone is simple.Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:04 pm

Wonders if that will also apply to base model 3?Peteski wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:43 pmYes and there are no data charges for the sim either.Dandock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:23 pmSo, for the S is the subscription included?Peteski wrote: ↑Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:13 pm

I would presume very little, it is already on the Tesla site that Superchargers are not free to use

It's not the big deal that some people think. I get free supercharging, but use it once in a blue moon since 99% of my charging is at home. It is nice to have free charging on longer trips, but not essential. Compared to the cost of petrol/diesel any charges will be minimal.
