Overview
- Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the project, reports Tesla is internally testing CarPlay with a potential launch in the coming months, though plans could change.
- Support under development is said to be limited to wireless CarPlay, excluding Android Auto and Apple’s newer CarPlay Ultra.
- The reported design runs CarPlay in a window rather than full-screen and does not allow control of core vehicle functions.
- Navigation and driver-assistance features would continue to operate through Tesla’s own software, with Full Self Driving usable alongside CarPlay navigation.
- Tesla and Apple have not commented on the report, which frames the move as a response to softening sales and frequent buyer requests for CarPlay.
