For me, whenever I exit the car and go back in, Apple Music won't start where it left off. I'm left with a select the source screen and I have to reselect a new playlist. I never had this problem with Spotify. I was wondering if any other people are having this problem. Thanks!

Apple Music doesn't start off where I left it

I noticed the same thing. It‘s like it doesn’t even know I was using Apple Music on the previous drive. The screen shows grayed music controls and I have to reselect Apple Music as well as music to play.

Mine has never continued playback when I get in the car with Apple Music.
My current workaround when I get in the car is to slide up the mini player and click on the latest playlist from Recents and Favorites since my last playlist is listed first.

I found if you push the left scroll button it will resume your playlist. Doesn’t seem intuitive as it says select source but it does resume.

Can any of you guys who are familiar users of Apple Music answer a simple question for me? I am trying to buy Apple One for my wife who wants Apple music and Apple TV+ for a few of the TV shows coming out now. I don’t really have to have Apple Music myself as I already have thousands of good songs and playlists I like on iTunes. If she gets Apple Music, can‘t I just use her login on the Tesla so she has anything she wants when we travel together and I could use as well? I imagine that would work fine unless she tries to use in her car at the same time, and then it would not allow one of the devices to work simultaneously? I work from home now, so the chances of us both trying to use at the same time is not very great. Just trying to lower the cost vs. a family plan that would not be used that much by me.

It should work fine.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of a limitation of 1 device per Apple ID using Apple Music at the same time. Then again, I have a family subscription to Apple One.
To test it, I'm currently playing two different playlists under my Apple ID, one playlist playing on my iPhone, the other on my iPad. Same Apple ID.

Please excuse my lack of tech expertise, but does having apple music now allow me to use my iPod in the car? Will the ipod interface show up on screen? If my iPod is full of WAV files, will the car now start playing them? I know it never supported WAV in the past. And last, if Apple music is just their streaming service, does anyone know if the quality is any better than the awful Slacker Tesla default streaming?

The short answer is no.
The Apple Music integration will not play any of your iPod files. It will not display your iPod interface.
It will only allow you to stream files from the vast library of Apple Music files.
I can’t comment on the audio quality as compared to Slacker but it sounds great to me.

I didn't say it is not better. I have no way to really tell. Although I'm a musician, I am no audiophile.
Sorry..I didn't say you did. I'm just saying if the bit rate is no better than its useless. The slacker streaming sounds like crap
Been listening to it on a free trial. It sounds like the bit rate is a little better than Slacker (Tesla default streaming), but I don't have any hard evidence.
It's a bit laggy, tough. And if I close the internet log in page on my phone, it closes in the car. Maybe i need to download the app to my phone??
Edit: does anyone have the bit rates for the two streaming services they could share?

I've seen this same behavior in my Model Y, but not in our Model X. The Model X seems to work as expected - the song continues playing when you get back into it. But the Y shows the source screen. I'll try the left scroll wheel button, great tip.
"Apple Music" is the name of Apple's paid streaming service. It has no relation or overlap with iPods.

It has continued to work for me. I got 44.25.3 today and some of the grayed out songs now play but only when they come in order (or shuffle) but not if I press the song so maybe improving ?
