You can use almost any app, not just apps that Tesla have deemed worthy (or removed due to childish feuds, like Disney+). Podcast apps, music streaming apps, etc...


IIRC Tesla has Disney+ too, an if it doesn't, you have a Chromium browser. Of course you can't use it while driving, but passengers on the back sit should be able to use the streaming services even when the car is moving.

For podcast apps, IIRC Apple Music and for sure Spotify are supported. Still not convinced that Android Auto / CarPlay is superior, sorry.


Even if Disney+ has been restored for everyone (I don't know if it has), any app could be removed by a manchild for any reason and that's unacceptable: https://apple.news/A8If_BNgyS-mqPcq25GK-Rw

I use neither Apple Music nor Spotify and I'm not alone.


You literally have Chromium, I'm failing to see where the problem is tbh.

Sure, having a native app is better, but in any case the Netflix and Disney+ apps are nothing than a Chromium wrapped app anyways on the infotainment


Yeah this is a waste of time for sure.


These fake Tesla apps don't stay logged in. There's no Face ID or Touch ID so you have to constantly re-authenticate.
