Anyone tried active noise cancellation in 2021.40?

Thank you for these impressions. I expect it will help to some degree with these PS4S at lower temps (50s and below). The road noise is pretty brutal in the colder weather. The road noise/rhythmic howling isn’t pleasant…Below (the link to the other TMC thread) were my initial, literally-just-downloaded-and-out-driving thoughts from when I first got ARNR. Now that I've had time to settle in with it, it's still great in my eyes (or, to my ears) though I'm going to say "great" is obviously subjective.
It makes anything up front that much "clearer" - listening to music is a little more immersive (though I always thought the cabin for music was pretty decent in the refresh), but where I think it shines is having conversations with a passenger or just tuning out the road. My wife and I are able to understand each other better, even with some music playing, and when I'm driving and trying to focus (sometimes replaying/solving problems in my head, I like doing with quiet - weird, I know), it's that much better.
I don't think it affects the quality of music, per se, but it definitely comes in a little clearer such that I can have the volume slightly lower by a notch or two and get the same effect, if that makes sense.
Now that I've had it for a little bit, I almost don't notice it, but I think that's the point. For fun, I turned it off this afternoon and immediately noticed the road noise rumble that I had learned to live without.
I'll repeat this part from my linked post because I think this is still an important point, even with my praise. I think ARNR is great, but what it is not, is ANC. It makes a difference, but it's not going to be a magic pill. Certain noises (bumps or highway lines at speed) are going to come in regardless, but they are muffled. It's definitely something that should get better with more data/refinement, which is why it's a little odd that it's not more widely available - though, they might be doing that to avoid complaints until they've tuned it more.
Refreshed MS LR/Plaid Firmware status
Given Green keeps seeing the ANC code, but it's not active, I am wondering if they are maybe running the ANC code in shadow mode to test it before releasing it. This is a great point. Hopefully that means when it’s released it’s not half baked like the rest of the car 😁 In all seriousness...teslamotorsclub.com

MSLR 1/27/21 VIN MF443 Delivered 9/19/21!
It is out there, but in early access program only. However, in driving tonight there is clearly something running in shadow mode in the headset. With my head turned left or right, the ear closest to the headset gets the same effect you would get from ANC in AirPods. It sounds “closed” off. When I turn my head back to look out the windshield, it is less apparent but still faintly there.
I feel like they have to have something else to produce / pump out the sound for cancellation / reduction purposes, in addition to the speakers. I thought the same thing as I was driving home.

No. EAP=Early Access Program
It is a separate group that get early access to non-FSD features. Like waypoints, ARNR, etc.

It is only ever going to be available to refreshed Model S 2021 and plus cars. Previous versions will not get it. Need the hardware.

Agreed!
No noise canceling‽
You can access Disney+ through YouTube. It's a bit annoying, but works.
I know. It amazes me that they would prominently put The Witcher III in so many advertisements and then not have it in the car. Not that I have any desire whatsoever to play video games in my car (especially an epic game like that one).
