what happened to Tidal and options for alternate streaming providers?

[thegruf]

I recall this from some time back
TIDAL music streaming service coming soon to your Tesla

anyone heard anything more?

We're more Tidal and Amazon and dont really use Spotify elsewhere, so would be great to get our playlists in the car

I 2nd your question (although unlikely to get much of an answer beyond guesses). Amazon Music is my streaming of choice.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Tidal is infinitely more desirable to me than 1000 new games in a Tesla. (And yes I do game at home.)

pretty sure 95% of Tesla employees driving 3’s and Y’s disagree with me though, and those are the votes that carry all the weight.

Apple Music is more desirable to me than Tidal or Amazon Music, however I do prefer and enjoy the games that Tesla continues to release.

 

[thegruf]

maybe Elon just put the competitors in the code just to leverage a better deal with Spotify.

??? There's no deal with Spotify. They jus included in there but you individually have to pay to use Spotify. I think you meant Slacker instead of Spotify.

My gut tells me that he's working on Apple Music next and the others will come one day.

Tidal audio quality is 100x of spotify

That is why I subscribe, but it won't be in the car. Whatever/whoever the next streaming partner will be it will be limited to a reported 128-160 kbps, like Spotify and Slacker are.

Exactly

If you have MCU2 + premium or included subscription you should get 320K imho; actually 192K would probably be enough that you would never notice the difference given the quality of the audio components, lower bitrates are just not acceptable these days.

I just wish they would focus a dev team more on the audio player though, fundamentally it is not bad but it attracts a lot of negative publicity for the glaring weaknessess that Tesla could readily address for relatively minor investment. Having the option of provider would be appreciated by many if not most owners.

Tesla to Add Tidal Music Imminently

Tesla will be adding the popular music service Tidal to Tesla vehicles soon. We should see the service become available soon.

www.notateslaapp.com

They claim it could be in 2021.36. It's week 38 now.

Nope, it isn't here. Now wait for 2021.40.

Electrek 11/2:

Tesla has started to push a new software update that adds an in-car app for Tidal, the music-streaming service, cold weather improvements, and more.

Today, Tesla started pushing its 2021.40 software update.

It includes several new features, but the most significant addition is the in-car integration of Tidal.

Tesla wrote in the release notes:

TIDAL streaming is now available from the Media menu with a TIDAL account. You can listen to TIDAL playlists or albums in high-quality audio by connecting to Wi-Fi and pressing Download on the selected content.

Streaming but you have to download the selected content on wifi?
maybe it means you can stream at low br, but can also download HiRes

just need 2021.40 on the car to find out

Awesome news, but I guess that counts me and anyone else with MCU1 out. I figured we would need the MCU2 for this, so no surprise.

 

[fade6]

Amazon/Apple at some point? Hoping...

 

[dark cloud]

Y'all see what is shows on the screen in this post?

Waypoints are coming to Tesla vehicles

Now several hundred have updated to 2020.40. Can someone tell us how Tidal is working in the car?

Can you stream it? I don't know what wifi only might mean...

I just reread the article, and still am trying to figure it out.

Download it where? to a phone, or to the flashdrive in the car?

Seems that it is only pushed to people w/o Tidal.

Please spread this link to get somebody, ANYbody, to try how it works: https://offer.tidal.com/

What's the expected music quality for the Tesla Tidal player?

Now if they could fix the USB music player bugs such as not resuming music where you left off...

From what I've heard: it plays in normal quality when on 4g, high quality when on wifi.
