Except now other car makers are offering it for free...BMW finally caved to customer complaints and has made Apple CarPlay free.
If my only choices in my Tesla were paying for it or not having it, I will pay for it.
Not disagreeing with what you're saying or saying that Tesla should charge to make it available, just my $0.02

I agree that it would be nice to have the option.
I also believe Apple asks for a $$’S for use of CarPlay and clearly Tesla isn’t interested in this. It cal also be that the UI interface will impact the existing Tesla UI or that Apple has yet to develop a way of creating CarPlay without taking up the whole screen for the Tesla. It may be that CarPlay just won’t work on the Tesla interface as each car has its own handshake to allow for communication. We can speculate as much as we like, but Elon if you are reading this, can you work this out and get us to at least play our favourite streaming apps and allow the appropriate Software to somehow work in harmony with the Tesla interface.
Calendar bookings, shortest distance to hospitals, listening to Spotify, finding a cool restaurant that a friend sent me and was automatically added to my calendar are all unavailable features that I would love to see again...
I think it’s sad that we live in a world of interoperability and yet with all the leading cutting edge technology in a Tesla it doesn’t allow what we take for granted..., adaptability!

I just use TheTeslaTheater.com for all my streaming needs. It works really well because I can lookup any website and have it played as fullscreen! Just check the help section for a video showing how to get it playing in fullscreen. It displays everything nicely and the buttons are nice and big!
Good for you. Some of don't care to have Apple Music but would love to have CarPlay. Choice is a wonderful thing
apple does not charge the automobile manufacture to integrate car play. they give it free.
when I started gathering info about the model 3, I thought I would miss carplay the most, but as Tesla add more features to support the iphone it seems now its less needed. in the near future.
I never liked apples junky gps app, but google maps used to be really good. but now that texas has pretty much every single road in the state under heavy construction, google maps is as bad as apples.. never liked waze…. so we shall see how teslas navigation does in the crap that is texas roads. seems the only thing I will truly miss now from my Honda Civic is lane watch. there is absolutely no blind spot with that thing.. but my son will have the civic now.
but I am all for them adding support still. would be nice to see a picture of whos calling, and also while playing songs from my iPhone. I don't like streaming services much.. but personal preferences, but it I don't get that no big deal.

I already do this. Hey Siri works with HomeKit in my Tesla just fine. The only thing I miss is iMessage honestly. I just use the MyQ for my garage door which links to HomeKit. Having to unlock the phone to open the garage is the worst part of HomeKit though.
There is absolutely no reason why Tesla shouldn’t have these basic features. They aren’t Hard to add... even if they add there own version of features like txt message support, at least it would be something. I don’t see them ever adding car play due to there UI. It wouldn’t make sense to add it. I literally just got my model 3 performance and honestly it is a HUGE loss not having simple and easy features like the ones states In this thread.
It depends what you mean by full. Like all the Tesla smartphone integration, the current text message support is very rudimentary compared to CarPlay IMO. In fact, I can’t think of a single thing that the current Tesla smartphone integration does better.
It it will notify, read and respond to messages all by voice. Not sure what else CarPlay does better in that regard. CarPlay just looks prettier.
