Does Tidal sound better than Spotify with the higher res option In the CT?

Just use tidal for lossless.
That's what I do and I love it! Other trucks can't compare, even those with $15k custom audio systems can't compare in terms of audio quality (even though they are capable of causing more hearing loss because they can play louder). It's not even close.

just curious. can you hear the difference between Tidal and Spotify when you are listening to the same song in the CT ( with immersive sounds OFF) ?
Yes, but the bitrate of lossless Tidal requires WiFi to download tracks/playlists. Then you can play them as you drive. I imagine you could also set up your phone to be a wi-fi hotspot if you wanted to stream lossless music while driving but I haven't felt the need to play around with that.

I’m uneducated about tidal. Anyone want to share the pitch?
$11/month to get the lossless HiFi. I download HiFi playlists when connected to home (you could also do that, or stream lossless music, while sitting at Superchargers with WiFi).

What do I think? I think most Cybertruck owners haven't even listened to any lossless music to even be able to compare it intelligently to other vehicles.

That said, it does make MP3s sound pretty good.

Max bass, max immersive sound and Its like im at a live show. has a good sounding bar band vibe. Wow. My ears hurt too just like the real thing!
It sounds awesome to me as well. It makes me really sad when I have to drive my wife's model Y because I miss the sound system in the cybertruck. It's just much more clear than the model Y performance.

Interesting… what do you perceive as differences ? ( assuming there’s a way to play via downloaded or hot spot)

I can barely hear the audio over the sound of my own awesomeness
What’s that???!!! Didn’t catch it?? Could you please turn your awesomeness down a bit? ?

I might catch flack for this but, IMO, the soundsystem in my S Plaid is better. Sorry. ?

Greater fidelity, clarity and I’ve never had a stereo system that I couldn’t cause to give me any distortion. It’s pretty remarkable.

22 vs. 15 speakers doesn’t hurt and the system in the plaid is 960 watts. I can’t find any data on with the wattage rating is for the Beast.

I'll try Tidal, seeing as they pay the artists the best; I mean they pay 4x the rate as Spotify. Even Apple looks good in comparison.

With the higher bitrate of Tidal HiFi (lossless), the music has more spatial depth and the highs are more detailed. The music "opens up". Depending upon who you are I think the difference could be anywhere from subtle to dramatic. For me it's in between those two extremes and when I switch to compressed streaming, because I want to play something specific that I don't have a HiFi version of, I find myself quickly switching back to my HiFi playlists for the better sound.

Anyone able to listen to music when outside of the car and parked? I’d like to be able to leave my windows open, keep the music blasting while washing the tires, or doing some work in the bed, but the only way I know how is to leave the door ajar. As soon as I close the doors, the music shuts off.

If I’m parked with the doors closed, and windows open, and anyone know how to leave the music playing while sitting/working in the bed?
Leave drivers door half clicked in. Or even leave door not latched but closed if that makes sense
