My Question or Issue

I have had issues playing Spotify podcasts at speeds greater than 1x for the past few years in my 2018 Jeep Cherokee. When my phone connects to the Bluetooth and I'm listening to any podcast at a speed >1x, the audio goes completely silent but the podcast is still moving forward in the background. I've tried every solution over the past few years and nothing has seemed to work and it's quite frustrating.

I recently purchased a Tesla and am having playback issues in this vehicle as well. When I connect to the Bluetooth the podcast speed function on the iOS app is greyed out and it will only let me play at 1x speed. There is also no option to speed up playback in the native Spotify app on the Tesla OS. Other podcast players like Overcast or TuneIn don't have any issues with speeding up playback but I listen to a few Spotify-exclusive podcasts so was hoping this would be resolved. Can you please provide any assistance? Thanks.
