"Bloomberg claimed that Tesla's tests involve a rather unique way to integrate CarPlay. Instead of replacing the vehicle's entire infotainment display, Tesla's integration will reportedly feature a CarPlay window on the infotainment system. This limited approach will ensure that Tesla's own software, such as Full Self-Driving's visuals, remains dominant. The feature is expected to support wireless connectivity as well, bringing Tesla in line with other luxury automakers that already offer CarPlay."
"Tesla has been reluctant to grant Apple access to its in-car systems, partly due to Elon Musk's past criticism of the tech giant's App Store policies and its poaching of Tesla engineers during the failed Apple Car project. Tesla's in-house software is also deemed by numerous owners as a superior option to CarPlay, thanks to its sleek design and rich feature set."
Tesla is reportedly trialing Apple's CarPlay internally, aiming to offer the connectivity that many buyers consider essential. The integration will present CarPlay as a window within the vehicle's infotainment display rather than replacing the full system. Tesla's own software, including Full Self-Driving visuals, will remain the primary interface. The planned feature is expected to support wireless connectivity, aligning Tesla with other luxury automakers. Company plans may change before public release, but sources indicated a potential rollout within months. Tesla previously resisted Apple integration due to policy disagreements and staffing tensions, while owners praise Tesla's in-house software.
