Tesla has revolutionized the automobile industry with its electric cars and innovative features.

However, many Tesla owners have reported experiencing an error where Spotify fails to load on their car’s touchscreen.
This can be frustrating, especially when you’re in the mood for some music during your commute. But don’t worry, as this problem can be easily fixed.
In this blog, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to fix the Tesla Spotify loading error.
Reasons For Tesla Spotify Loading Error
There can be several reasons why your Spotify is not loading in Tesla.
It can range from a connection issue to a buddy app. Let’s take a quick look at them.
1. The Spotify App Is Buggy On Tesla
Many people have said that when they are trying to open Spotify in their Tesla car models, they have found that the app becomes very laggy and this causes the loading error for the app.
While you can open the app, whenever you try to play a song it keeps loading and never plays the song.
This can be caused due to a temporary bug in your Spotify app.
2. The Internet Connection Is Poor
It could also happen that the connectivity is poor due to which your Spotify is not able to load properly.
It is one of the major reasons why you quill see the loading issue in Spotify.
3. Tesla Software Is Not Updated
If the software in your Tesla car is not updated then that could also be the reason why you are seeing this loading issue.
How To Fix Tesla Spotify Loading Error
