Overview
- Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun internal testing of CarPlay, with a potential rollout discussed for the coming months that remains unfinalized and could be delayed or canceled.
- The planned approach would show standard, wireless CarPlay in a window within Tesla’s existing interface rather than a full-screen replacement or Apple’s newer CarPlay Ultra.
- Reporting indicates Tesla is not developing support for Google’s Android Auto, focusing the effort solely on iPhone mirroring.
- Neither Tesla nor Apple has provided comment on the reported testing or launch plans.
- The move would mark a sharp shift from Tesla’s long-standing stance and aligns with persistent customer demand, as some buyers cited the lack of CarPlay as a reason to avoid the brand.
