The only thing premium inside a Tesla is the sense of entitlement of the driver. Everything else eventually rattles like a tin can full of coins.
Can confirmed. Drove one for a week. Not mine thank goodness.

My budget French turd is better put together.

Also I had Apple Music on it for at least 5 years already 🤣

Edit: offended 6 Tesla owners so far :)

this means lossless isn't an option
Honestly I don't see how lossless would be useful here. They have good audio hardware, but we're still talking about a car with a lot of ambiant noises.
