Overview
- Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun internal tests and discussed a potential rollout in the coming months, though plans are unfinalized and could be delayed or canceled.
- The implementation under discussion would run standard, wireless CarPlay in a window within Tesla’s interface rather than replacing the system or using CarPlay Ultra.
- Access to Tesla-specific functions would remain in the native software, with features such as Full Self‑Driving unavailable through CarPlay.
- Reporting indicates Tesla is not currently working on support for Google’s Android Auto.
- Tesla and Apple declined to comment, as industry surveys cited in coverage show many buyers consider CarPlay or Android Auto essential and automakers are split on supporting phone‑mirroring, with GM moving to phase it out.
