Overview
- Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun internal tests of Apple CarPlay, with both Tesla and Apple declining comment.
- CarPlay would appear in a window within Tesla’s interface using the standard, wireless version rather than CarPlay Ultra.
- Tesla-only functions such as Full Self-Driving would remain accessible through the native system, with CarPlay limited to apps like maps, messaging, and music.
- Sources say a rollout has been discussed for the coming months, though plans are not finalized and could be delayed or canceled.
- Coverage links the potential shift to softening sales and an industry split, as some automakers drop phone mirroring despite strong buyer preference for it.
