Shuffle playlist not working Apple Music Tesla

I'm afraid this won't be fixed anytime soon, despite pleads from many users and despite quite a significant amount of Tesla owners flocking to Spotify purely because of this issue making the app unusable.

Tesla for some reason (probably because Apple didn't develop an app of their own that functions consistently with the other apps) is using the webapi (music.apple.com). Try shuffle there and you'll notice the exact same problem occurs: it only shuffles what is on the first list of results *and* the shuffle pattern is the same every time. However, there's a new version being tested on beta.music.apple.com. Unfortunately, this issue isn't addressed there. This issue has been present as far as I can see for multiple years and Apple seems to have no intentions at all to address this severe bug. (Doesn't even respond to questions about it.)

So I fear your only option is to use something else as no fix is on the horizon for this problem. Which is super annoying, because Apple Music is so much better on the devices it does function properly on, especially the library management which is really poor on Spotify. (Not to mention that Spotify's shuffle has problems of its own: its not truly shuffle but some Spotify algorithm that picks what it thinks you'd like to hear based on history, rather than actually shuffling through the playlist. Still, it's better than the 100% useless shuffle in Apple Music's Tesla-app.)

All we can do is hope that one day Apple finally listens and fixes this major bug. We need the Apple Music app on Tesla to shuffle through the entire playlist. (Or, as a second option, your entire music library.)

I’m on with Apple Support about this now. If this can’t be resolved soon, I’ll also have to cancel my family’s Apple One, and switch to Spotify. This is very annoying and makes shuffling through my Favorites playlist useless.

Same very annoying problem... so, when I want to listen to my songs, I usually play my station, but it's way random. Please, Apple and Tesla, solve this issue!!

End of April, still the same.. its kinda annoying, hope apple and tesla work out for a fix.

Thank you for explaining this. At least now I know why this is working the way it's working. Sounds like a typical Apple move of making their apps work well only on their own devices. Very annoying.
