How to Use Tidal on Tesla in 2 Ways

Part 1. What Is Tidal on Tesla

In November 2021, Tesla released a new in-car app called Tidal. But this will require a HiFi Plus or HiFi subscription. This is great news for audiophiles. Because previously Tesla owners could only access Spotify streaming. While the two platforms offer roughly the same selection of artists, Tidal is superior in terms of sound quality.

Tesla owners can now enjoy their entire music library, including more than 80 million songs, and more than 450,000 music videos, directly in the car. After logging in with your Tidal account on Tesla's main menu, you can access Tidal in your car with minimal effort. This certainly enhances the Tesla driving experience.

The hi-fi version has a music quality of 1411 Kbps, which means no quality loss of music during compression. The HiFi Plus package offers innovative technology with an amazing 9216 Kbps sound quality, as well as Sony 360 Reality Audio.
