Apple Music App Spotted in Tesla Model S Museum Exhibit

[MacRumors]

Apple Music could be coming to Tesla vehicles through a future software update, giving Tesla customers the ability to use Apple Music using the vehicles' built-in system.

At a recent exhibit for Tesla at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, someone on Twitter spotted a Model S vehicle running an unreleased software version that had Apple Music installed. According to the images shared, users will be able to scan a QR code on their phone to log into Apple Music and use the app. Apple Music has been teased to be coming to Tesla vehicles in the past only for it not to happen.

Apple Music integration in Tesla vehicles has been a long-standing request for Tesla vehicle owners. It's not clear when the update with Apple Music integration will roll out, but Not A Tesla App speculates it could as part of Tesla's annual holiday update due for release next month.

Awesome

I really want to buy a Tesla someday

I’m glad that Tesla finally added Apple Music to their cars

I really hope that Tesla adds CarPlay integration to future vehicles as well

Hopefully we are able to transition to electric vehicles at a much faster rate so that climate change can be mitigated as much as possible

Oh, wow…. Mr. Schiller ain’t gonna like this 🫢

Now can we please get the native Apple CarPlay in Tesla's?

Tesla doesn’t work well in Canadian winters. 😔

 

[doolar]

Does it not have CarPlay? I just googled it and it seems like not, but that can't be true? I would not buy a car without it today, and absolutely not a car with a Tesla price tag.

Mr. Schiller had enough courage to deactivate his Twitter account. Tomorrow he won't be driving his Tesla anymore. He want's nothing to do with Elon Musk.

 

[goobot]

Part of me thinks this is just dev software and they don’t plan on doing this anytime soon

 

[Carlson-online]

Finally a relevant post about a musk company on this site!

Anyway, this is good to see, hope it provides the lossless options aswell!
Now for BMW to catch up to this, they only have spotify atm

Apple has been working on this for a while now. The article below was posted in May 2022.

CarPlay for Tesla: Here are your current options - 9to5Mac

Tesla notoriously doesn't support CarPlay natively, but there are multiple third-party options available. Here are the details.

Is this a poem?
IMHO just support CarPlay and naturally every app is supported. There is no need to have the app available at the mercy of the manufacturer.

 

[syklee26]

Yes! Bring it! Can’t wait!

 

[azentropy]

Good news and long overdue. But no, I don’t see Tesla ever getting CarPlay.

Will never happen. Tesla wants to keep their data just like how Apple wants to keep their data.

There's more to it than just installing carplay. Apple has extreme guidelines requirements before Tesla is given a license.

Except that the same extreme guidelines requirements are met by most manufacturers...

 

[wanha]

Here's my hypothesis why this is happening (if it's happening) now:

The vast majority of Twitter users use mobile apps to access Twitter, which means that Apple and Google are able to dictate a lot of what is allowed and what is not allowed on Twitter.

This creates the need for Elon to be in Apple's good graces, so... enter Apple Music for Tesla.

Could be total coincidence, though.

 

[Harvey Zoltan]

I know Elon Musk is a thousand times smarter and a billion times richer than I am but I've really come to loath anything he's involved with. Hope Apple stay far away from everything he controls.

Help me understand why CarPlay is so important to have in your car?

Currently you can make calls and hear/reply to text in a Tesla. Music apps are available for a long time, sure not AM but that’s coming as well now most probably. Build in navigation works fine. I haven’t missed CarPlay for a second when driving my car. I was always annoyed with having to plug in my phone first thing when getting into my car (maybe that’s improved with wireless CarPlay but still you’d want your phone to be charging?)

 

[Valkyre]

But Mr. Schiller deleted his Twitter account because he wants nothing to do with that vile creature called Elon Musk.

Then again the color green is definitely best color ever so...virtue goes down the drain...

IN any case if you buy a Tesla you can now enjoy APPLE MUSIC!!! 😂😂😂

From my personal experience, I would not buy any car without CarPlay except for a Tesla.
That's because legacy automakers absolutely suck when it comes to Software and user experience. But in my Tesla I have not missed CarPlay (except for Apple Music) one bit.

This is exactly my experience as well, I understand the need/want for CarPlay in every car except in a Tesla.

Maybe I should have framed my question differently, as I do understand the need for CarPlay just not the need for CarPlay in a Tesla 😅

Because it is a simple and easy system that is the same in every car with CarPlay. Sure I can live without it, but why not both so I can choose what to use? I can't believe you can justify not having it to be honest. I mean a lot of cars have their own system and CarPlay. I just think it is a bit onerous at this price point.

Do you have a Tesla? I do - and besides a native Apple Music app, I really don't miss Apple CarPlay at all

 

[syklee26]

Doesn’t most usage of carplay come from Apple Music? I wouldn’t use Apple Maps. I dont need phone call feature, i dont need to read messages (especially in front of passengers). Maybe I will use audio news on Apple News, podcasts and AppleTV, but I wouldnt miss it that much. The only thing I would use regularly would be Apple Music.
