I do listen to the radio but gave up on my XM over a year ago. My phone has over 3000 songs on it and is my go to for music. I heard from TMC the upgraded sound system is better than standard but not by much and not for that price. I will add a better system on my own. BUT, upgraded system does have more speakers already installed for you. Something to consider but still, worth the price?
I can say the UHFS in the Model X is incredible but I have nothing to compare it to given I haven't heard the standard one in the car. I have XM radio in my Lincoln but I never listen to the radio so I refuse to pay for something I don't use. I live with my phone containing my music and podcasts and I'm happy
Can you elaborate on how incredible the Ultra High Fidelity Sound system is? You are probably thinking what is this guy asking me, but I mean in terms of "plugging" or "Bluetooth-connecting" a phone to listen to media. How is the bass and clarity of the sound system in general? Maybe do a test (haha, I have no known Tesla owners in my area)?
Did you watch the video where Ken and I take a ride in a Signature series Model X? My 4k camera was capturing 5.1 surround. Have a listen with headphones.

SiriusXM broadcasts a mono signal, primarily left if I remember correctly. If you listen to any music that bounces from left to right you'll only hear half of it. I do love it for my talky shows. This is really noticeable when listening to Ozzy Crazy Train and See You On The Other Side, cranked up to 11 of course.
I don't feel that the audio quality would be $2,500 better and I don't think XM is worth it. If I'm going to be traveling cross country and am in risk of not having a cell service capable of playing my audio, then I will have downloaded music on my phone that can play via Bluetooth to cover the gaps. For me anyway, 99% of my time driving the car will be within good cell service that I can use the streaming audio.

Hi Trev. Could you please provide the link where you and Ken rode in the model X. I would like to hear the sound for myself. Thanks for all of your time and efforts that you and Ken dedicate to the site.
