Tesla Shows Off Apple Music at the Petersen Auto Museum
Just the other week, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles rolled out a sweet lineup of cars that have played a key part in auto history. The crowd’s favorite? A sleek Tesla Model S Long Range that’s pulling a couple of tricks on its infotainment screen.
Why Apple Music Matters In A Tesla
Imagine cruising along Highway 101 with your favorite playlist streaming straight from the car’s central console. The Tesla’s new feature lets you do just that — Apple Music icon lighting up, a QR code for instant activation, and a promise that you can jam to iTunes without ever leaving your seat.
- Instant Access: Scan the QR code, and boom — the Apple Music menu pops up.
- Seamless Sync: Skip track or switch playlists, all from the touchscreen.
- Modern Ambiance: Makes the drive feel more like a personal concert.
A Technical Twist That Speaks Ton of “Cool”
Car tech lovers will appreciate how Tesla is leveraging Apple’s platform instead of building another proprietary streaming service from scratch. It’s a win‑win – Tesla offers a familiar interface for iPhone users, and Apple gets a fresh fan base.
Humor & Heart: The Tesla Community Reacts
“Got my coffee, my phone, and my Apple Music all set,” one tourist commentated. Another posted, “Tesla’s a brilliant little techno‑mystery? I could only take my morning commute to Classical.” The museum spilled the jams by showing a QR code that lenses the updated infotainment system. All in all, the Tesla Model S made heads turn at the Petersen and proved that music is still one of the biggest perks of being a driver.
Tesla’s Museum Showcase: Demo Cars & the “Apple Music Mystery”
Yesterday’s Tesla exhibit let fans and car buffs get up close with the latest electric cars—well, almost cars. Think of them as fancy mock‑ups that let you test wheels, seats, and the newest tech demos. The catch? They’re not fully finished vehicles, and they’re running tweaks of the firmware rather than the official public versions.
What Went on Inside the Museum
- Hands‑on experience: Visitors could sit in the seats, flip through the navigation menus, and even simulate a crash‑test scenario.
- Demo‑only build: The “cars” were essentially wheels on a chassis; the full hardware configuration wasn’t present.
- Modified firmware: Instead of the brand‑new firmware that will ship with production models, a special version was used—great for safety testing but not for everyday driving.
Apple Music – Rumor or Reality?
Listeners at the event heard whispers about a future Tesla that could stream Apple Music. The announcement was slightly teasing—no official timeline, no guarantee it’ll actually land in cars. If Tesla does eventually support Apple Music, it’ll be a big win for audio‑centric owners, but for now, the OnlyFans of speculation remain.
Bottom Line
The museum showed off a glimpse of Tesla’s next wave of cars, giving enthusiasts a chance to feel the hype without the full experience. And while Apple Music support might be on the horizon, it’s still a question mark—so keep an eye on the road ahead!
