Spotify without Premium Connectivity

My one year free is coming up this month. As much as I hate subscriptions and really don’t want another, it works out to 34 cents a day. Probably not worth me aggravating and fumbling with my phone before driving and during.

My cell provider (T-Mobile) sucks hard too with signal. Tesla’s AT&T network seems slightly better. There've been places the car has signal but not my phone. But never the other way around.
I recently tried going without premium, set up my iPhone to auto start tethering when it connects to the car, switched to Apple Music from the free spotify.

It was a disaster, would never connect right, always needed me to keep turning it off and on, including going off halfway through a long drive. Apple doesn't give Podcasts in the car, and not having the colours for traffic on the map is dumb.

The alternative is not worth £10/month in my pocket.
