model 3, can you read or hear text messages on your screen from both iPhones and android phones?
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
No such interface right now - there is no integration yet with carplay or android auto, which would be nice I think and could flow well with the Apple-isque UI of the vehicle, but it may be a safety consideration though, which is why they have intentionally left it off for now.

Total BS. Plenty of cars offer this sort of functionality.When we took delivery we asked about this and our delivery specialist said that the regulatory body wouldn’t approve a text feature due to safety but Tesla did try. So don’t hold your breath for future updates.
Thx.I just say “Hey Siri, read my texts”
or
“Hey Siri, read my texts messages”
or
“Hey Siri, read my messages”
They don’t appear on the screen but they do get read aloud over teslas audio system.
Which is certainly safer while driving.
My pleasure.Thx.
What would be the safety consideration, considering that it’s available from just about every other manufacturer as either a standard or optional feature?
I’ll definitely miss some of CarPlay’s functionality, which is only getting better with iOS 12 opening up access to additional navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze. With wider adoption there will also likely be a ton more app developers designing for the CarPlay interface. Never mind the Nav solutions, even just having the Spotify and SiriusXM apps available would be great...
if a major new feature like the ability to read text was made available over the interface, it will be another easy target and will be labelled as a safety hazard to hurt the integrity of the company.
I am pretty sure the ability to do Text-To-Speech on TXT is actually considered as a safety feature not hazard. Because car manufacturers know that if they don't provide that feature, most people are going to "read" the txt on the tiny screen while driving.

Carplay and Andriod auto also require, in their current implementation, taking up your whole screen while being physically plugged in to your phone.
Given how disorienting juggling two interfaces can be, a number of car companies, such as Volvo for its latest models, now offer CarPlay in a split-screen format, with the car's built-in system on one side and whatever you're using in CarPlay on the other.
That's not actually true anymore.

Fair enough. There are some other valid points in the article I linked however. Thanks for sharing - I am all for it.
