This achievement signals significant progress in Tesla's quest to perfect autonomous driving as the company continues to refine its technology and expand its capabilities. Equipped with the latest FSD update, Tesla vehicles are now actively driving approximately 1 million miles per day across the fleet. Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology has reached an impressive milestone, as revealed by CEO Elon Musk in a recent tweet. In the real-world Apple Music in your Tesla should sound very similar to streaming music from Spotify, but not as good as TIDAL's offerings. Audio quality comes down to a variety of factors, some of which are, the bitrate, whether it's a variable rate, and the efficiency of the audio codec used.Īpple Music's HE-ACC codec is optimized for low-bandwidth applications meaning that it can outperform an ACC-encoded file in lower-bandwidth situations. While Apple Music may come in at the lowest average bitrate of all three services tested, it's important to note that it doesn't necessarily mean it has the lowest quality. This is consistent with the HE-AAC standard, as most of these songs were a little over 3 minutes in length.” “On average, I saw ~2MB per track, with ~1.7MB during the initial burst and ~0.3MB throughout the track. “It appears to buffer most or even all of the song, then pause between tracks to do it again,” writes u/OverlyOptimisticNerd. See Also Confirmed: Tesla is adding Apple Music to their vehicles in update The low data rate for Apple Music appears to align with the company’s HE-AAC codec at 64 kbps. They used an iPhone 14 as a mobile hotspot, Hotspot Monitor Data Usage from Apple’s App Store, and 2019 Model 3 running version 2022.44.25.1.ĭuring their tests, they observed the same pattern across all songs, citing that a bunch of data rolled in at the beginning of the tests and then slowly trickled through. ![]() Reddit user u/OverlyOptimisticNerd ran similar tests with a slightly different configuration. Other Tesla Owners Are Running Similar Tests If Tesla can enable lossless streaming for Apple Music, it’ll give TIDAL a run for its money in high-fidelity streaming via the in-car app. Burkland’s tests showed Spotify streaming at an average bitrate of ~157 kbps, while Apple Music came in at a subpar ~118 kbps.īurkland added that he believes Apple Music is limiting bitrate for the in-car app, but a future update to Tesla’s software will hopefully resolve this. Surprisingly, Spotify’s audio quality came in ahead of Apple Music to nab second place. This isn’t entirely too shocking, as TIDAL has always championed the highest-quality audio streaming experience. The average bitrate for TIDAL was ~1165 kbps. The results of Burkland’s tests concluded that TIDAL still offers the best listening experience. After zeroing out the host stats for the Model Y, he tested a total of nine songs, including “Purple Rain” by Prince, “Foreplay” by Boston, and “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. He then installed ntopng on his OPNsense firewall to monitor traffic statistics for the vehicle. He connected his Model Y to his home's WiFi network and used a DHCP reservation, which allowed him to have the vehicle use a specific IP address. Tesla owner and software developer Dan Burkland recently performed some tests on the audio quality that Tesla’s in-car streaming services TIDAL, Spotify, and now Apple Music stream at in the vehicle.īurkland tested TIDAL previously on a different Tesla software version, but with Tesla’s ever-changing software and the rollout of the holiday update, he chose to run the tests again. And the worst sin is they used those corrupted versions to remake the FLAC "hifi" and normal MP3 versions too, so you get the noise there as well.Apple Music may be available in Tesla’s new holiday update, but don’t expect the lossless audio quality that Apple Music subscribers enjoy… at least not yet. Any song with an MQA version is no longer lossless, contains noise that didn't exist before, and offers no quality benefit. ![]() They contained noise that didn't originally exist, they did not offer higher sound quality than plain FLAC, and when he uploaded a low quality track, they up converted the song, to give the impression it was higher quality than the source actually was.īasically it's false advertising. He compared the files to his originals that he supplied and found all of them that had been given MQA "Masters" qualities to be ruined. The discovery came out when an audio engineer uploaded some test songs to Tidal Masters. They rely on whatever the artist or label supplied originally and just convert it, even if it was not any better than what they already had. No, in reality it's suspected they don't even try to get original studio recordings.
