My last car, a Cadillac CTS was an "Audible Ready" device, which quite surprised me when I discovered it. There was a process to transfer the Audible licence to the car via USB, but it was very cool to have it integrated into the car.
I've tried streaming podcasts via TuneIn in the car, but have gone back to my iPhone. The TuneIn interface is frustrating and often I will lose my place in a longer podcast if I pause it or lose connectivity. The only way to get Audible audiobooks in the car (for me) is also via my iPhone. The phone can manage all the DRM stuff and stream it via Bluetooth to the car.
I do wish Tesla would implement iPod controls into the 17" screen interface because it sure seems old school to have to pick up the phone (which is technically illegal where I live) to control my books and podcasts. Even the cheapest of cars these days have integrated iPod controls in their media systems.
