my iphone bluetooth music has always had album art. old iphone 6s with about 15,000 MP3 songs.
my USB music had the album art for quite awhile, but has been gone for a year. it's...interesting.
no, wait, just infuriating that things like this CONTINUE to affect my Tesla love. 3rd world probs indeed.

Had to do a double take this AM on my way into work, but cover art is back in 2021.40.
Yay!!
Everything else is still broken, but one must be thankful...

That's the method that HAS worked for me. I started streaming from my house via an iPhone and bluetooth within a couple weeks after the "upgrade". Just impatiently waiting for the fix.
Hmm... I am still on 2021.36.8. I don't have album art with USB playback (which doesn't bother me). But reading the post above made me realize we did have album art listening to our Thanksgiving playlist from my wife's phone today.
Just updated to 2021.40.6 & cover art is back, finally.
It's an early Christmas miracle!
Let's hope it lasts.

Unfortunately it is only half back, as you play your albums they use to show below the album art that shows now in the upper left corner.

I updated to 2021.40.6 last night. I have album art, but unfortunately it frequently shows the back cover. The track I'm playing right now might be something different, maybe a booklet image? I'll have to check when I get home. So it looks like tools that hammer music metadata for Tesla libraries will need to do something with artwork, too.

Cool. My car didn't originally come with "album art technology" so this neat retro feature takes me back to when I was a kid when all cars had this gimmick.
I still don't know what to do with it though. What's the point of having USB music at all if you can't even choose an artist to play? Heck, I can't even *find* the artist I want to play. Why is the alphabet so difficult for them to understand? They seriously still have that same intern after all these screwups?

So does that mean that the car is fetching the cover art images from the internet, instead of using the ones embedded into the MP3 files? Hopefully there's some logic in the system which first checks to see if there is an image in the file and uses that one if present but if none is found, then goes out to the web and grabs whatever it thinks is appropriate.

That's O, like "Only Artists That Begin With M" ...

OK, maybe not.
It's probably getting the wrong image from the file itself, because it's reading through all images and grabbing the last one, or there's some meta-attribute it's misreading.
If I can get the f-ing update, I'll play around with various embedded image resources, see if there's any logic (er, "logic") to it.
I am anxiously awaiting this update as well. If I am interpreting TeslaFi software tracker correctly, (and I’m not saying that is likely), 98.5% of Model 3 LR RWD Teslas have an update more recent than mine, 2021.32.22. I’ve been making sure my car is connected to WiFi every night before I go to bed for the past 2 weeks. Is it my safety score? I just had one bad day when I was driving though a long construction zone and got some unexpected front-end warnings. Maybe in a week when that day ages out. I’m not begging for FSD beta, I just want my album art!That's O, like "Only Artists That Begin With M" ...

Also, I don't know if anyone here is old enough to remember what USB cover art used to look like in the early days of the auto industry. Kinda funny to see 460 posts in this thread begging for that pathetic little postage stamp thing that you can't even see.
