There were hints that ‌Apple Music‌ support was imminent when a Tesla exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles featured a vehicle with an ‌Apple Music‌ app installed.

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.
