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),
and downward to minimize it so that just the Miniplayer
displays. 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.
You can also
drag Media Player to display on the left or right side of
the touchscreen.
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 on the
Media Player when you expand it:

vehicle configuration. Some apps described may not be
available in your market region, or may be replaced by
dierent ones.

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 yoke (or 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.
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 148).
Volume Controls
Roll the scroll button on the left side of the steering
yoke (or 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 X automatically adjusts the volume
based on driving speed and climate settings.
You can also adjust the volume by touching the arrows
associated with the speaker icon on the bottom corner
of the touchscreen.
To mute the volume, press the left scroll button. Press
again to unmute.
NOTE: Pressing the left scroll button during a phone call
mutes both the sound and your microphone.
NOTE: If you're playing media and you receive a phone
call, or the navigation system is speaking directions, the
volume of what you are listening to is temporarily
muted.
Media Settings
NOTE: The settings available vary depending on market
region. Also, a setting may not be applicable to all audio
sources.
