Car manufacturer Tesla today rolled out a holiday software update that introduces support for Apple Music. According to reports on Twitter, the 2022.44.25 update allows Tesla owners to access their Apple Music accounts directly in their cars.

Stream over 100 million songs and 30,000 playlists ad-free. Listen to your entire library, discover new music, and tune into live radio stations. To access Apple Music, tap the Apple Music icon in the Application Launcher, scan the QR code with your mobile device, and login with your Apple ID.

Note: A Premium Connectivity subscription is required to stream Apple Music over a cellular connection.

There were hints that Apple Music support was imminent when a Tesla exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles featured a vehicle with an Apple Music app installed.


Apple Music integration has been a feature long desired by Tesla owners, and Apple Music subscribers who want access can install the latest software to get it.

it seems they've taken the lazy way out and used web services for this similar to zoom. this means lossless isn't an option.
with the amazing speakers and hardware in their premium audio option in their vehicles, this doesn't live up to what it could've been, and definitely doesn't take years to develop integration based on web service.

Please enlighten me. What other way would have been an option? As long as Apple doesn't provide the App, there is nothing else they can do.

This is more likely because the cars are still 4G connected, not 5G. In a lot of areas AT&T's network is just not that fast for connected vehicles and steaming lossless is going to suck.

The only thing premium inside a Tesla is the sense of entitlement of the driver. Everything else eventually rattles like a tin can full of coins.

I have a MY Performance after owning a Model 3. I don't consider the MYP's speakers "amazing.' They're good and def better than the Model 3, but not amazing.

Can confirmed. Drove one for a week. Not mine thank goodness.

My budget French turd is better put together.

Also I had Apple Music on it for at least 5 years already 🤣

Edit: offended 6 Tesla owners so far :)

Honestly I don't see how lossless would be useful here. They have good audio hardware, but we're still talking about a car with a lot of ambiant noises.

There’s been decades of cars with lossless audio systems and nobody complained

Minutes to develop, years to negotiate the business deals.
