Steps To Reset Spotify On Tesla
Resetting Spotify on a Tesla involves a few key steps to ensure the app runs smoothly on the car’s touchscreen. We’ll guide you through each step to get Spotify back to perfect working order.
Access The Tesla Touchscreen
First, we need to access the Tesla touchscreen. It’s like the nerve center of the car. Start the car and make sure it’s in park.
The touchscreen should light up. If it doesn’t, give it a second. Sometimes it’s just waking up.
Once we’re on the touchscreen, it’s time to head to the settings. Look for the gear icon, which typically represents “Settings.”
Tap on it gently. Now, you’re in the car’s control hub, where you can adjust almost everything.
Select ‘Apps’
In the settings menu, there’s an option called ‘Apps’. This is where the magic happens.
Tap on ‘Apps’ to see all the applications installed on your Tesla. It’s like opening a toolbox and finding all the tools you need. 🚗
Choose Spotify
Now, from the ‘Apps’ menu, select Spotify. This is what we need to fix.
Tap on Spotify, and a submenu should appear. It’s like selecting your favorite channel on TV. You’re almost there!
Reset Spotify Password And Login
Sometimes the issue is with the login credentials. If Spotify still isn’t working, try resetting your password.
Go to Spotify’s website on your phone or computer and choose the “Forgot Password” option. Follow the instructions to reset it.
Once you have the new password, go back to the Tesla touchscreen, select Spotify again, and log in with the new credentials. It should do the trick.
That’s it, folks! With these steps, you should have Spotify back in action on your Tesla. Enjoy the tunes! 🎶
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While using Spotify in our Tesla, we might run into several common issues. It could be the app not responding, trouble logging in, or problems with playback. Fortunately, each of these issues has a straightforward solution.
Spotify App Not Responding
When Spotify doesn’t respond, the simplest fix is a reboot of the Tesla system. Press and hold both scroll buttons on the steering wheel for about 10 seconds. Make sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal during this process.
If the app still doesn’t respond, it might be related to internet connectivity. Check if the LTE signal or WiFi connection is stable. Sometimes, connecting your Tesla to a reliable WiFi can make a difference.
Another trick is to power off the vehicle completely and restart it. This can clear any issues disturbing the app’s performance. Don’t forget to also update the Tesla firmware if an update is available, as it might have bug fixes for the app.
Issues With Spotify Login
Logging into Spotify can sometimes be tricky. If you’re having trouble logging in, try resetting your password first. Click the more options button (three dots) on the Tesla screen, select Spotify, and follow the prompts to reset your password.
Another option is to use the Tesla app on your phone. Access Spotify from the app’s browser and log in with your credentials (Facebook or manually). Make sure both your Tesla and Spotify accounts align with the same email and password.
If the issue persists, log out of all devices in your Spotify account settings. Then, retry logging in from Tesla. We should also ensure there are no connectivity issues, such as weak LTE signals or disrupted WiFi.
Problems With Spotify Playback
Playback problems can be super frustrating. If a song doesn’t play or streams poorly, first check the internet connection. Make sure there is a strong LTE signal or reliable WiFi connection. If the connection is fine, try switching to the Radio or another music source, then back to Spotify.
In some cases, the TCU (Telematics Control Unit) might need a reset. Contact Tesla support for assistance if this step is necessary. Another handy solution is connecting our phone via Bluetooth and playing Spotify that way.
We can also clear cache and data for Spotify, either from the app or the car’s infotainment system settings. This helps if there’s any corrupted data affecting playback performance.
Conclusion
Sometimes, fixing Spotify in your Tesla can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. We hope these steps give you a clearer road map. Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve discussed:
-
Restarting Your Tesla System: Hold the two scroll buttons on the steering wheel for 10 seconds. This simple reboot can solve many issues.
-
Checking for Updates: Always make sure your Tesla software is up-to-date. Outdated software may cause compatibility issues with Spotify.

If you are like us, dealing with a glitch while jamming to your favorite tunes can be frustrating. But patience, friends! Follow these steps, and you’ll be back to enjoying your road trip playlist in no time. 🚗🎵
