Overview
- Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports Tesla has begun internal tests of Apple CarPlay and is discussing a release in the coming months, though plans are not final and could be canceled.
- The reported approach uses standard wireless CarPlay displayed in a window within Tesla’s interface rather than taking over the screen.
- CarPlay Ultra is not part of the effort, and features such as Full Self-Driving would remain accessible only through Tesla’s native system.
- Reports indicate Tesla is not developing support for Google’s Android Auto as part of this initiative.
- Tesla and Apple declined to comment, as coverage links the testing to strong buyer demand for phone‑mirroring and a broader industry split highlighted by GM’s move away from CarPlay.
