Tesla may soon add support for Apple Music, according to references in a Tesla software update found by Twitter users @greentheonly (via Tesla North).

Spotify has long been the main way to listen to music using Tesla’s infotainment system, without support for other music streaming services such as ‘Apple Music’, Tidal or Amazon Music. Tesla first announced earlier this year that it would support other music streaming services, including Tidal in particular.
In addition to references to Tidal in the latest software update of 2020.48.26, there also appear to be options for ‘Apple Music’ and Amazon Music.

Although it is reported that Tesla has been working on supporting ‘Apple Music’ for some time, the option hidden in the software update is not working yet. Despite this, Tidal is expected to be the first additional music streaming service to come to Teslas.
So far, the only carmaker that has integrated Apple Music directly into its information system was Porsche for its all-electric Taycan model.
