It’s frustrating that there is no Audible app – but I discovered yesterday that you can use the web browser in the Model Y (and no doubt other Tesla models) to bring up Audible, log in to your Audible account and play an audiobook even when driving. Trying to minimise the window (for example to look at the map) shuts it down so it’s no use if you are using navigation.
