You keep telling people this because it's 2023 and people don't want to have to fiddle with USB music (and Tesla's goofy file structure)
What goofy structure?
Use the folders view and it'll have exactly the structure you set up on the key when you put all the music there.
when they are used to AA and Carplay. These cars at the very least should have USB ipod connectivity like pretty well every other car since 2005.
Why?
It's much easier and cheaper to put the same music on a USB key and just leave it plugged in all the time. Then I don't have to worry about pulling my phone out, physically plugging it into the car, having a cable laying around, and having to put my phone someplace other than said pocket.
Been using a key since 2018 with 200+ GB of music, and it just flat out works without having to do ANYTHING but select USB as a source, and maybe a few times a year bring the key inside to add new music to it. Full 100% quality FLAC audio all the time, laid out exactly the way I set it up on my PC via folders.
It's not like I haven't used Carplay in rentals- it's a PITA every time in comparison.
All the Tidal tests seem to be on Wi-Fi or downloads. I suspect Tidal on LTE is 320 kbps or so. Still better than the others, but equivalent to high-quality MP3 not full CD quality FLAC. Many people can't hear the difference anyway; I'm jealous of them, lol.
I'd be pretty surprised if it's 320kbps on LTE, that'd be MUCH higher than any other streaming Tesla ever allowed that way, but would be curious if anyone has actually checked
