Tesla Integrates TiDAL Streaming Service With Latest Software Update
- TiDAL is the high fidelity audio streaming service in the US
- It was recently acquired by Square which is owned by Jack Dorsey
- Elon Musk and Dorsey are very close friends
Tesla has added support for TiDAL which is a music streaming service in the US known for lossless, high fidelity audio with its latest software update. The new software update also adds cold weather improvements and many more things as a part of the 2021.40 software update. Tesla cars already have Spotify as an option, but there is no Apple Music and Amazon Music integration. Musk has often had a disdain for Apple and called it a graveyard of Tesla engineers and his rivalry with Jeff Bezos is also quite well known especially in recent times with the stuff that's happening between SpaceX and Blue Origin.
"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," Tesla revealed as a part of the release notes.

TiDAL, of course, is a streaming service that was bought by rapper Jay-Z but more recently it was acquired by Square which is the other company founded by Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey who admittedly is a close friend of Musk.
As a part of the cold weather improvements Tesla notes," You can now enable front to defrost and maintain your climate settings when clearing ice and snow. As usual, tap the fan icon and select Keep Climate On when parked."
It also provides auto alerts when traffic-aware cruise control is enabled. Tesla has been notably resistant towards adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone beaming software mechanisms to its cars.
