Overview
- Sources say Tesla is evaluating standard, wireless CarPlay that runs in a window inside the existing Tesla interface rather than replacing it.
- The reported implementation would not tap Tesla‑specific functions such as Full Self‑Driving, which would remain accessible only through Tesla’s native system.
- Discussions have referenced a potential launch in the coming months, but the plan is provisional and could be delayed or canceled.
- Support for Google’s Android Auto is not part of the effort, according to outlets summarizing the Bloomberg report.
- Apple and Tesla declined to comment as coverage noted broad consumer demand for CarPlay and contrasted Tesla’s move with GM’s phase‑out of phone‑mirroring systems.
