Tesla Is Reportedly Bringing Apple CarPlay to Its Cars in the Coming Months
The reported move would mark a reversal of Tesla’s stance on third-party phone mirroring.
Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Tesla is planning to enable CarPlay with a rollout targeted for the coming months.
- The integration is expected to use the standard wireless version in a window within Tesla’s interface rather than the newer CarPlay Ultra.
- Neither Tesla nor Apple has confirmed the feature, and the timing and implementation remain subject to change.
- The shift would break from Tesla’s long practice of relying solely on its in-house infotainment software instead of supporting CarPlay.
- Tesla already offers Apple Music and Apple Podcasts natively, with reporting pointing to customer demand as a factor in considering broader support.
