Re:European Teslas to have built-in Rdio by timdorr on Friday February 07, 2014 @11:46AM (#7197189)
Have you used the Tesla music system before? I use Slacker extensively in the car, and it's entirely skinned to match the car interface. I have no commercials or ads in my streams and the only branding is a small logo in the corner of the music display (which I don't have to have on screen to use). It's not an "app" in the typical sense, just a service that powers the music player.

I would expect it to operate much the same way with Rdio. You'd buy the ad-free plan ($9.99/mo vs $3.99/mo for Slacker) and get the same experience.

No. Can you install your preferred streaming music sources, such as Grooveshark or Pandora or Last.fm?

Can you remove all signs of Slacker if you decide you don't want to be bothered with it?

Rather than downvote, perhaps someone could answer the questions. I'm genuinely curious how things are set up in a Tesla. I've not used one so I don't know what options are provided.

Weird that asking how something works pisses people off.
