Tesla can read your music from USB flash drives. This is wonderful, because they have a premium audio system (used to cost $2500) and you could play high-quality music.
You could load a drive with FLAC or Apple Lossless music and play it back without MP3 lossiness and artifacts.
Yet album art? they do not care.
Here's a thread on how the USB player is a buggy unsupported mess. It recently lost the ability to display album art, but there are plenty of other problems (like no playlist support or any number of other problems)
Probably not in a car, but playing back 320kbit MP3s on a large sound system (eg djing in a club) is noticeably different to lossless or even to better lossless formats.
I read somewhere that younger people (I guess Millenials that grew up with Napster) might prefer 128kbps to lossless in blind audio tests because it sound better to them — artifacts and all — as it's what they are used to.
