Factory Installed Car Play?
- Thread starter Carbonmedic

No its not, No tesla model 3 or Y has factory equipped carplay and that does not look to change anytime soon
Nope, not a chance. You could ask Elon why, but I doubt he'll answer since he's busy running Twitter into the ground instead of managing Tesla.
However, as a palliative measure, since we already have Sirius XM for our other vehicle we just stream that on our phone and use Bluetooth to send that audio to the car. Sounds pretty good, works fine. We use the car's built in nav most of the time, and oh, we also have Apple Music, and since Tesla includes an Apple Music app, we use that as well. Of course, using those car-based features means we have to subscribe to the Tesla data plan. Pretty small expense vs. the cost of the car, and which is generally made up by such low overall maintenance costs, so we just suck it up and pay for that.

Yeah twitter was amazing before and super profitable. Im also glad you know what Elon does every second of every day. How much do you get paid to be his personal assistant?
OP: No tesla vehicles comes with carplay or android auto.

Just in case you don't mind using third-party products, there is Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

My guess is allowing car play would cut into the premium connectivity subscription. I miss CarPlay so much. Way more elegant and easy to parse directions, texts, info while driving.
I'd gladly pay a extra if need be to have that incorporated.
Or just get the software developers to make a more user friendly ui in terms of parsing data while driving. It's a good looking ui but not really user friendly.

Would be nice to get CarPlay someday, like every other car on the road, but we try to make the best of it. As I've read about third party CarPlay solutions people try to use to get that functionality going in their Tesla, I am overwhelmed with the feeling that I should just back away, and that if CarPlay's critical to me, I simply bought the wrong car - at least for now. Maybe if the CEO changed this would change as well, and maybe we'd even get USS and proper rain sensors back, but neither is likely to happen until that does.
I wasn't aware that Rivian had made the same call, thanks. Last time I reached out to Rivian to ask about placing an order and how long the wait was, they just laughed at me. I'd love to get my hands on one for a test drive and check it out, but that doesn't seem to be a thing?
CarPlay is iPhone-specific.
Android Auto is similar but Android-specific. I've never heard of any iPhones that would project to Android Auto.
it's a solid no-go decision. Elon and Tim have had their discussions about it and they agreed to disagree.
Tesla may or may not offer a similar UI but theft isn't happening and you're going a bit deep making that comment.
Elon handing over the reins at Tesla any time soon is also a fantasy. But feel free (or hate).
Apple Car Play will not be happening in Tesla vehicles.
It's not needed.
Adapt !!!
I test drive one in Denver... It was pretty nice but hard for me to justify the cost
I don't see Rivian as being even close to cost-effective.
I was also surprised by the relative difficulty of getting in and out of it. Small-ish door access.
Interior trim is good.
Long term value......sketchy.

Isn’t the real advantage of the Tesla MMI the integration of navigation and supercharger network. On road trips it is very useful and you dont have to use third party app on phone such as plugshare or findabetterroute to figure out where to charge.
