Tesla could soon add support for Apple Music, according to references in a Tesla software update found by Twitter user @greentheonly (via Tesla Nord).
Spotify has long been the main way to listen to music using the Tesla infotainment system, without support for other music streaming services such as Apple Music, Tidal or Amazon Music. Tesla first announced support for other music streaming services, including Tidal, especially during its Battery Day presentation earlier this year.
In addition to the references to Tidal in the latest software update 2020.48.26, there also seem to be options for “Apple Music” and Amazon Music.

Although Tesla has been reported to be working on “Apple Music” support for some time, the hidden option in updating the software does not work yet. Despite this, Tidal is expected to be the first additional music streaming service to come to Teslas.
So far, the only automaker that has directly integrated Apple Music into its infotainment system has been Porsche for its all-electric Taycan model.
