The Apple Podcasts App will roll out to Teslas next week as a part of the carmaker’s 2023 Holiday Update.
Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck owners in almost 50 countries and regions will receive the app via a free, over-the-air software update. A Premium Connectivity subscription is required to stream Apple Podcasts over a cellular connection.
After the update has been installed, users will see the Apple Podcasts app in their Tesla’s App Launcher. The app can be opened on top of the map or can be pinned to the My Apps dock at the bottom of the screen. When users first open the Apple Podcasts app they will be required to scan an on-screen QR code to open a corresponding webpage and sign in using their Apple ID.
The Apple Podcasts app for Tesla offers the same features as the app does on other devices, including Listen Now tab, Up Next queue, Latest Episodes, Recently Played episodes, Browse tab, Top Shows, and Top Episodes.
Playback is synced across devices, allowing users to continue listening from where they left off on another Apple device.
