Since the 2024.38 update, Spotify has become unusable for me in the UK - the old free 'Vehicle Account' worked really well and was very responsive. Following the update it got dramatically worse. Voice recognition now never reliably finds the song I request (or it finds some wish.com cover version).
I assume this is because Tesla renegotiated their arrangement with Spotify to push US users towards a new version of the service, but at the same time removed the better level of access that was offered for UK/Europe users?
The only solution I found was to disable Spotify as a media source and so force the car to use Apple Music, which has recovered the old level of function.
