About the same as Apple Car Play IMO.What is the possibility Tesla will use Android auto?
In other words, none.About the same as Apple Car Play IMO.
We can hope. I had Apple Carplay on my trade in Toyota Avalon. It was nice, but I didn’t use it very much. I listen to SiriusXM on my 3, streaming from my phone. Works great.In other words, none.
Yeah I had CarPlay in my volt too, used it exclusively for navigation. Haven’t felt the need for either since I got model 3 (been almost a year).We can hope.

Don't have my Model 3 yet but in my ELR using Apple Music in CarPlay is FAR far easer, more elegant and feature rich than playing through BT. Even if no CarPlay I wish Tesla offered an Apple Music app (and Spotify, Pandora,....) Apps work so much better than a kludgy BT interface.....Neither Apple's CarPlay or Android Auto are needed in order to broadcast audio from your phone through the Tesla speaker system...

And I really like Android auto, but you can have Android auto play through your phone.
Nothing stopping you also having Waze running on your phone simultaneously for those "special" alerts.
The big advantage for Tesla's navigation are:
1) Integration with battery status and power usage to forecast future battery levels and warn driver
2) N-on-A uses the maps, and future FSD improvements will also use the maps
About the best excuse I've come up with for Tesla not having third-party access is security. I would think they'd be able sandbox it, but a security breach would really be devastating.
The fact Tesla bothered to design their own in-house system to read and reply to text messages should be the final nail in the coffin of "When will the do CP/AA?"
There'd be 0 reason to bother having done that if they ever intended to add AA/CP.
Not exactly.
You can stream music via BT, but that's the opposite of Android Auto / CarPlay, which support seamless integration into the car, and use vehicle's nav screen as a larger phone display.
Tesla would not want to give up the entire screen to Google / Apple, but they could dedicate the RHS iframe without difficulty, if they wanted to do so.
True, but that's not as elegant as having Waze project on a big beautiful Tesla display!
I agree that Tesla nav is almost as good as Google maps, but there are features that I miss from proper Google Maps/Waze like root selection, dynamic rerouting based on traffic updates, speed trap alerts, etc, etc.
I remember reading a while back that Tesla's underlying maps come from google anyway.
Either way, we'll manage w/o AA/CP (aka first world problems)
There are no security issues with AA/CP, but there are licensing $$ implications to Tesla in integrating with both.
There is a bit of jealousy in allowing Apple/Google make money off the drivers via Tesla's display, without any rev-share back to Elon. Actually, Apple/Google insist on charging automakers for taking over their screens. How rude!
Instead, Tesla chooses to keep its options open to monetize those screens on its won down the road.
There is validity to those business incentives and considerations.
