Overview
The Media Player displays on the touchscreen
and is used to play various types of media.
You can drag Media Player upward to expand
it (allowing you to browse), downward to
display just Recents & Favorites and Sources,
and downward again to minimize it so that
just the Miniplayer displays. You can also
swipe all the way down to remove it from the
touchscreen completely. The convenient
Miniplayer, which occupies the least amount
of space on the touchscreen, displays what's
currently playing and provides only the basic
functions associated with what's playing.
Media Player displays content and options
associated with the app (or source) you
choose from the app launcher, or from the
dropdown list that displays when you
maximize Media Player:
NOTE: Media apps vary depending on market
region. Some apps described may not be
available in your market region, or may be
replaced by dierent ones.
Radio: Choose from a list of
available radio stations or
touch the numeric keypad to
directly tune the radio to a
specific frequency. Touch
the next or previous arrows
to move from one frequency
to the next (or previous).
Bluetooth: Play audio from a
bluetooth-connected phone
or USB device (see Playing
Media from Devices on page
161).

streaming service available
in your market region, if
equipped.
Spotify: Play audio available

various songs (see Caraoke

NOTE: You can show or hide any media app/
source. See Media Settings on page 160.
When listening to internet radio or a music
streaming service, the options available on
the Media Player screen vary depending on
what you are listening to. Touch the next (or
previous) arrows to play the next (and in
some cases previous) available station,
episode, or track. You can also play next/
previous using the left scroll button on the
steering wheel.
Streaming services are available only when a
data connection is available (for example, Wi-
Fi or Premium Connectivity). For some media
services, you can use a default Tesla account.
For others, you may need to enter account
credentials the
first time you use it.
NOTE: Instead of launching a dierent media
app, you can change the source from within
the Media Player screen by choosing a source
from the dropdown list on the left side.
NOTE: You can use voice commands to adjust
media settings and preferences, such as
volume control, playing certain songs, or
switching the media source (see
Voice
Commands on page 169).
Volume Controls
Roll the scroll button on the left side of the
steering wheel up or down to increase or
decrease volume respectively. The scroll
button adjusts the volume for media, voice
commands, and phone calls.
NOTE: Your Model 3 automatically adjusts the
volume based on driving speed and climate
settings.
