Part 1. Connect Tidal Music to Play on Tesla

As one of the most advanced and smart cars in the world, Tesla does offer you a myriad of entertainment options within its infotainment system and a simple way to play Tidal's music while driving. To enjoy Tidal music on your Tesla, here's what you need to do.

Step 1 Set Up a Tidal Account

To begin, you need to ensure that you have an active Tidal subscription. If you don't have one, visit the Tidal official website or download the Tidal app from your smartphone's app store and sign up for an account. And then subscribe to Tidal HiFi or HiFi Plus plan as needed.

Step 2 Sign in to Tidal on Tesla

To log in to your account on your Tesla car, you should first ensure that your Tesla vehicle is connected to Wi-Fi or any other stable internet connection. This is crucial for accessing Tidal and streaming music seamlessly. Then you can directly open Tidal and scan the QR code with your smartphone. Or you can follow the steps here.

a. Start your Tesla vehicle and navigate to the main screen.

b. Tap on the "Entertainment", "Media", or "Apps" tab, depending on the model, and then select "Music."

c. From the available music options, choose "Tidal" by tapping on the Tidal icon.

d. On the Tidal screen, you will see a "Sign in with Tidal" button. Press it.

e. Enter your Tidal username and password to sign in.

Step 3 Play Tidal Music on Tesla

After signing in, you will have access to Tidal's extensive music library where you can browse through new releases, curated playlists, your personal favorites, and even radio. You can search for artists, albums, or songs using the search bar provided. Select the song or playlist you want to play, and Tidal will start streaming the music directly to your Tesla's audio system.

More Tips and Features >>

#1. If you're using Tidal for the first time on your Tesla, it's advisable to create playlists beforehand on the Tidal mobile or desktop app that you can easily access in your car. This way, you can simply navigate to your created playlist for a personalized listening experience.

#2. It is suggested to download Tidal songs before on the road, as the movement can affect your network condition and lead to buffering listening. Tidal offers an offline mode feature that allows you to download songs to your Tesla's internal storage or you may download the songs to a USB drive (see part 2), so you can listen to them without an active internet connection. To download songs, tap on the three dots beside a song, and select "Download."

#3. While playing a song, you will notice basic music controls, including play/pause, previous/next track buttons, and a volume slider. These controls are located at the bottom of the touchscreen. You can even use steering wheel buttons, depending on the Tesla model you own. Besides, utilizing Tesla's voice control feature is very convenient to manage your Tidal music playback. By pressing the right scroll wheel on your steering wheel, say a command like "Play [song/artist/playlist name]" or "Skip to the next track" to effortlessly control your music while staying focused on the road.
