S/XM was recently added to Teslas, but they force anyone to sign up as if it's a new account. Many OLD subscribers are not happy about it, particularly those with lifetime subscriptions that kept the company afloat in the early days.
My wife just found it on her model 3. She has been using the app on her iPhone in the car previously. She said she was able to use it through our normal XM subscription so far but I told her to look into it as I suspect they will try to force their own bundled subscription on her.
ztirffritz is correct: SiriusXM does intend to force existing customers to sign up for new accounts for use in their Teslas. See the caption for photo #3: https://www.siriusxm.com/tesla
They are offering a two-year promotional price of $9.99/mo for the service - after that, they intend to charge $24.98/mo: https://care.siriusxm.com/acquisitions-s...okup/offer
So... they will charge Tesla customers the same $24.98 they charge satellite radio customers... for the exact same streaming service they charge non-Tesla customers $9.99 for?
Screw that.
I was really excited about getting the SiriusXM app in my Tesla but it looks like I won't be using it.
Again. Why can't it just be streamed from a phone? I do that all the time in other cars via bluetooth.
