Are you trying to stream music or a podcast on the Tesla infotainment system and getting a steaming loading error? In this post, we will look into why this is and how you can possibly fix the issue.
Tesla vehicles are literally run by a computer and with anything computer-related, you might get some glitches every now and then. It’s only natural since there is back and forth communication between the vehicle software and the different hardware components on the car.
One of these glitches that occur from time to time includes the stream loading error. When this happens, you will see the streaming loading error message pop up. You will either not be able to stream at all or you will be stuck in one app and not able to move to another.
It would seem that different Tesla owners have different experiences as far as this problem is concerned. In some cases, this issue lasts for a few minutes, hours, or a day but in other instances, the problem will last for days or weeks on end.
How Do You Fix Tesla Streaming Loading Error?
Well, there are several recommended remedies based on several Tesla owners’ experiences. The first thing you can try to do is disconnect then reconnect the internet or try to use your phone as a hotspot.
This will sometimes solve the problem but in other cases, it will not. Another possible fix is to switch the car off and then on again. This will sometimes solve the problem but will not always work for everyone.
The final fix that seems to work for everyone is to reset, the infotainment system. It’s the good old system restart that has worked for computers since they started glitching. But, how exactly do you reset the infotainment system? Well, we are going to be looking into that next.
How Do I Reset My Tesla Infotainment System?
