So, whatever happened to the promised in-car apps? While there have been some nice (relatively minor) UI tweaks, no new functionality has been introduced to that giant touch screen. Seems like such a wasted opportunity.
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.
Hopefully they came to their senses and realized that apple carplay and the android equivalent make it completely unnecessary for them to develop their own apps. Technology has moved on. Tesla really hasn't in this regard.
What kinds of apps, apart from media, would be useful and not actually dangerous? Games, Twitter, photo editing, email, what?
Third party navigation apps like Waze would be useful. A better web browser. Apps that log stuff for your car, like some of the current web based Tesla services.What kinds of apps, apart from media, would be useful and not actually dangerous? Games, Twitter, photo editing, email, what?
Sure, if it was a native app, or even an app running on a real browser in the car that also had an interface to the car's information, such as the state of charge and the navigation destination. The problem with phone apps displayed on the screen is you don't have any of that information...plugshare
for one
I wish this was a native app on Tesla.. their website is so-so

It's pretty ironic that folks have to dash-mount their smartphone to do things the 17" CID can't. If Tesla saw pictures of that perhaps it would encourage them do finish this project already.
When people first see the 17" they are amazed. When they find out its limitations they are amazed.
Maybe owners should start posting photos of their mounted iPads, iPhones and Android things to Elon and Tesla's Twitter pages with the hashtag #GiveUsCarplay or #YourSoftwareSucks? Just thinking out loud...
The only thing that I recall changing substantially in the 2.5 years that I have owned a MS is the media player, and some of the changes have caused other problems. Elon said last October that the web browser would be updated soon but it is still pretty much unusable.There seems to be no development ever since... guessing Tesla is occupied elsewhere...
Is anybody using EVE dashboard?
