Apple Music App Spotted in Tesla Model S Museum Exhibit

Well most of Norway is pretty damn cold and Tesla is by far the most popular car there. I was in Norway with -22c last new years with no issues at all. Could easily handle colder
Hilarious. Tesla's quality control isn't the best, - agreed. But those "recalls" are just software updates for the vast majority, and the technology is FAR ahead of other EV manufacturers, especially in terms of software movement. I actually get the published range in my 2022 Model S Plaid. This is in 35F weather, pre-heated car, on winter tires. Mix of highway and city driving.

This is what most people was waiting for, I remember there was a tweet from Musk who teased something about AirPlay inside of Teslas, but I suppose this will be even better!
Tesla will do just fine now without Musk. I mean we have heard this before with Apple and Jobs, and well, look at Apple now.
If Apple added support for charging stops that is..like the Tesla maps do.
Oh come on, this is definitely very blown out of proportion. Many many people have cars from 2013 etc and they seem to be fine and they didn't explode. As for "driving into a police car"...you realize that you can just drive the car like any other car right? There is no requirement to use the "FSD"
This is because Norway is small, urban and dense with good infrastructure.
Canada is supar large, and most of the country is unmaintained or undermaintained. It's hard to get to an open gas station on road trips, let alone a supercharger.
Trust me, I love Tesla, but it just doesn't work well here even with the special Winter package and extended range version.
That’s odd - they work perfectly fine in the northern parts of Scandinavia 🤔
Oh, reading on, it seems to be more of a road issue requiring truck type vehicles 😬

It seems to have been a strategy by Tesla to not be dependent on Apple as Apple might introduce their own electric car. Probably smart, but it does it does disappoint me too.
Wow you managed to get allmost all of that completely wrong 🥳
Residential 11 kW charges will charge the car from 0 to 100% in 5-6 hours.
Supercharging will charge newer Teslas at 1000-800 mph from 0-50%, then drop to 500+ mph over the next 20%. The main issue with supercharging literally is getting back to your car before idle fees incur at 100% charge 😅
Typically, one will charge for 10-15 min every 150 miles.
The only problem with charging cold batteries is the charging speed. Fast charging is always tough on batteries but only possible if they’re hot - which is why Teslas automatically preheat the battery pack on the way to the next SuperCharger.
What’s with that 55% range BS? How do you even come up with such nonsense?
I drive 80% advertised range in winter at 70-80 mph and 150% advertised range in summer at 50 mph. That’s how electric vehicles work because they turn almost 100% of the energy stored into kinetic energy - whereas a fossil fueled car one transforms 1/7 of the energy stored into kinetic energy as the rest is lost to heat before it even reaches the wheels!
Losing 2% while parked? I just now realize you’re a troll 🤦🏽♂️
Anyway, sticking to sunk cost fallacy, I’ll keep refuting your claims: I lose 0% in a week of being parked in Scandinavian winter weather. I can elect to turn on Sentry Mode which is an extra surveillance system guarding the car’s exterior by means of AI monitoring 4 of the 8 exterior cameras, and that will consume around 300 W while active in a crowded are.
I’ve never been in a car as insulated as the Model 3; keeping the AC off is literally impossible 9 out of 12 months (and again: I live in Scandinavia).
Preheating from below freezing to toasty takes a couple of minutes and expends less than 1%.
The heat pumps work fine in the winter here but don’t really make that much of a difference; the car has plenty juice to just be using the regular old “hairdryer” style heating with no noticeable adverse effect.
All in all, Teslas have plenty of issues, but the ones you mention are none of them - and thus merely shows you for the troll you are 😉

Wrong again on all accounts. Northern parts of Scandinavia have weather comparable to northern Canadian weather. Not an issue. And the excellent AWD system of Tesla (all AWD EVs?) make driving in tough conditions a breeze
We use salt as much as you do, and that’s not an issue for an aluminum car like the Model S/X or primarily aluminum car like the 3/Y. Most other cars are made from steel, Teslas less so.
I don’t believe Tesla is “anti-Apple” like everyone says they are. The app is very nice, and definitely looks “Apple.” And the car interface also feels “Apple” despite not being CarPlay. Tesla also supports Apple Pay in every corner they can, like for the in-app upgrades etc.
If they were anti-Apple they would pull an Amazon and not even offer phone keys for iPhones (and make you use the card or physical keys at $150 each), and make you type in your card numbers rather than offering Apple Pay.
Also their whole showroom has Macs everywhere for the staff.

Many of you have never driven a Tesla and it shows. Tesla's built-in navigation is purpose built for EV. Automatic charging stop calculation. PINCH AND ZOOM. Also apps understands the screen size and uses it optimally efficiently. Music apps goes from full screen to tray mode to fully collapsed. As does transitions between vehicle control, HVAC and entertainment. Along with split screen between self-driving computer visualization (so you know it sees the damn car too and won't slam into it, otherwise you should over-ride), navigation to be overlayed on the self-driving split screen vs primary pane (when the primary pane is off to change music or whatever), etc etc etc.
Apple CarPlay doesn't stick a candle to this and is massively inferior. CarPlay is merely a stop gap compromise to bridge all the legacy manufacturers that has horrible software implementations. The only advantage of CarPlay is more apps. But every app that Tesla do already have, Tesla is much more optimized for Tesla environments. It's not even close.
*I drove a Model Y for 2 years and my dad drives a CRV with CarPlay, which I often borrows

two Citroën C5s and a Mercedes CLA
all had Carplay
Carplay is the best interface I’ve seen, but I’m happy if a different one is developed for Tesla as long as it’s an improvement
I carry a large collection of music on my phone, and I mostly want to listen to that
I’ve had DAB radio on three cars, great to cover the rest of the time
travelling in Australia means areas of poor phone signal, so anything that has to be streamed is less optimal - even if I wanted that
my wife has a Citroën DS5, nine years old so pre-Carplay
it has a similar interface to the Tesla, definitely sub-par
I like lots of things about my car, but I’m looking forward to a better music player
Your point about the roads might be right, but calling Norway small is maybe a bit of a reach. From south to north is over 2.377km of driving - in my book quite a lot
I have been driving BMW for as long as I can remember and they have been awarded for the iDrive systems a lot of times. I loved the navigation and UI etc., but after switching to a Model 3 last year it has put a completely different light on the other systems. CarPlay is good for a rental with crappy system but doesn't come close to the Tesla - the Tesla feels like an optimized iPad Pro experience comparable to an old phone
Would still need to get data from the car about the state of charge, battery temperature and weather effect on the power per kilometer, to be a good solution and as efficient as the Tesla.
