Elon Musk said Tesla would consider adopting Apple’s AirPlay protocol to improve sound quality control over the current Bluetooth system.
In recent years, Tesla has emphasized its passion for sound systems, ensuring that its vehicles have the highest sound quality. Their latest version of the Model S and Model 3 received positive reviews from audiophiles.
In the past, Tesla’s audio system has always been compared to the Bang & Olufsen system, which is often found in premium vehicles, but for a fraction of the price. Musk took to Twitter to comment on the comparison:
Tesla’s audio engineers come from B&O and many other companies. They are literally rocking. Our system is highly programmable, so we continue to improve it through updates to OTA codecs.
For years, Tesla owners have been asking about the possibility of adopting Apple AirPlay, which uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. The owners suggest that because Tesla’s vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi, the implementation of AirPlay will ensure lossless streaming. Musk commented on this and said the decision would be discussed with the audio team.
In the past, Tesla was reluctant to integrate Apple’s software into its vehicles. For example, Apple CarPlay is a feature that Tesla owners have asked for before. However, Tesla chose to continue with its own software ecosystem.
We will discuss this and other improvements with Tesla’s audio engineering. The new Model S and X sound system is amazing.
