How about iPhone to Tesla playing via USB data, what format and bits per second? Assuming Apple music library directly on the phone or downloaded music in Tidal.

Actually, master quality IS lossy despite higher resolution

This is correct. MQA is lossy it’s just far higher definition than CD assuming the original recording was mastered at sufficient resolution.

quality of “master” is MUCH MORE valuable than codec quality

There is currently no way (without adding additional custom hardware) to run a phone via USB (charge, yes; data, no). The only way to get music from the phone to the Tesla is over the substandard Bluetooth.

I’m referring to the usb data module jack adapter installed in the console
Extending USB to rhe glove box usb

Connect the iPhone to the console via usb
Play rhe music library

I have it wrong?

I don't know if it has changed, but the last I heard, there is no USB driver to play the FILES from your iPhone (as if it were a "hard drive"). Nor could you run a wired adaptor to use it as an audio signal as there is no audio line input. I believe the only way to play music off if your iPhone (or Android) is via Bluetooth.

Maybe something has changed that I have not heard about?

Also, if you have synced music to your iPhone via iTunes, even if it is "lossless" in your iTunes library, it still gets compressed when it is transferred to your phone.

Appreciate the feedback

Does anyone know if you can play the music library local on the iPhone via USB to the Tesla?
