The S/X has DAB, the only time I've used it in the last 3 years is when the father-in-law was in the car and we were waiting for the ladies to finish shopping, the test match was on and I couldn't' get it to stream properly on my phone due to poor reception, so instead we listened to 5 Live Xtra.

I found listening to Cricket on DAB just as exciting as watching it on TV .

Indeed most sane people would just hook up their phones and listen to anything they want steaming through the phone.

Football is the most popular sport, and it's in AM which which rubbish, so imagine dab is popular.

Internet streaming in car I haven't tried, but 'hooking up the phone' is clearly not what most sane people want to do.

Why would you want to faff about with phone and press buttons to unlock, open app and so on. 5 min journey to pickup the missus from the train station and you want to spend an additional 5 mins just sat in car

Hooking up a phone is really popular because of Apple carplay.... slight problem there...

Sport pretty much as to be on DAB as AM is rubbish and Streaming regionally encoded content blocked. Plus havent the BBC stopped all streaming other than through their own app?

Lovely to see so many social democrats on the thread.

I did not follow the debate but a summary in the link - there is a link within the attached link summarising the discussion.

Also, research showing those who benefit from the incentive are 85% white, male, earn more than $100k per annum and hence seen as favouring the well heeled.

Yep, balls to the environment if the patriarchy might benefit. Keep them in their V8's!

Thankfully there are many other makes and types of EV that continue to qualify for the tax incentive so no harm done.

Your disconnect from reality and modern technology continues to astound.

It is exact what everybody wants to do!

If governments give these incentives to the rich, then less tax is collected.

Where do you think the USA donations to preserve the Amazon rainforest comes from...

For things on their phone, yes. For dab no.

What are you talking about?

Why would people go on their phone to receive radio?

The only people who think Dab or other radio incar is inferior than via a phone connection is people who think technology works perfectly everytime, phone signal is perfect, and that Bluetooth works perfectly every time and so on.

Ie no one but you.

If radio is built in, it's simple hardware and ultra reliable.

Why are you asking me.

The debate started off from bmw claiming no dab in testla and others on here saying these things are not needed due to phones.

So if you want to start another question then don't ask me

Got to agree with him on this one. Despite having an Apple Music subscription I'm much happier using the integrated Spotify premium for music streaming and only connect my phone for calls. Using phones in car is not only crap but likely to lead to getting pulled for lack of attention. The 15" touchscreen in the car is far better for doing things on the move than fiddling with a phone IMHO.

Really? I thought it had tunein which made it redundant so never bothered looking at the radio.

Why does it have DAB if there's tunein.

It has both as per my pic above. Tunein doesn't offer all channels and is dependent on data streaming availability.

They're ahead of every other company in software, which is where a competitive advantage is.

They are only 6 months ahead of that Chinese company that nicked every line of their software

Luckily tesla are only targeting 2% to 2.5% of new car sales by 2025. Even that is very bullish. Not that I wuold expect TSLAQ to have any clue as to the actual strategy. Maybe we should start another thread called 'Tesla unlikely to be largest car maker' just for hypen.
