I disagree. Tesla fanatics just loathe anything that goes against Lord Xelon Musk's grand master design plans. (The 3 and Y were built with a minimalistic interior in mind. How dare you try to blemish this perfect creation!)

^^^ Here's how I think it works but I won't know for sure until I get my hands on it. Wireless CarPlay devices, in this case the new touchscreen device, require both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in order to communicate with the iPhone - Bluetooth to pair and Wi-Fi for data transfer (audio, video, navi map info, etc.). The device then uses Bluetooth to pair itself to the car which sends along the audio for phone conversations and music. So your phone is no longer paired directly to the car, but uses the device as a passthrough for audio via Bluetooth. Looking at the specs for the new device it has Wi-Fi and two Bluetooth modules. But there's also the possibility that the audio is sent through the wiring harness that connects the device to the car. Like I said earlier, I won't know anything until I get my hands on it.
Note to moderator: This is really getting off the original topic so I will no longer be commenting on the new V2 touchscreen here so feel free to move it.

Mental illness itt aside, I’d legit get something like this if it wasn’t a piece of *sugar*. Having a customizable HUD that could show stats like power distribution, temperature, tire temp, etc. would be pretty cool.
If everything goes over bluetooth to the car I don’t think it will be pretty (I mean sound pretty). You won’t be using the Mic’s in car any more. And I doubt you’ll be able to initiate a call from steering wheel buttons.
I don’t think this is off topic at all. We are talking about how an aftermarket device (that offers CarPlay) might deal with audio.
I think that’s a heck of lot better than folks bashing each other over spoiling the minimalist look and feel.

"Irregardless" is a double negative, and grammatically clunky. You could have saved a couple keystrokes by just typing regardless. They mean the same thing.
That said, I 100% agree with your assessment of this situation.

From following a couple threads, I believe this answer is contained in @DanCar 's post. Version 1 does not have carplay or android auto, the version 2 will have those features.
To be clear V2 will not initially support Android Auto, only CarPlay.
How do they get off calling it "Heads Up Display"; its a Heads Down Display.
