My theory is that Tesla want to strongly encourage people to use the in-built navigation that works very hard to ensure you don't run out of charge.

- hamandcheese 2y agoOr because they want to charge a subscription for "premium data" which nobody would buy if there was CarPlay.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoYou don't need premium data for online maps. Premium data is for sat maps, music and live camera views. Also at $10 per month it's actually quite cheap.
- caf 2y agoYeah it doesn't seem to be a profit centre, at the moment anyway.
- prmoustache 2y agoAre you saying you can't listen to music in a Tesla without a subscription?
- dzhiurgis 2y agoBluetooth, radio, usb and using your phones hotspot is still an option (tho unrealistic given how shit iOS hotspot is)
- prmoustache 2y agoah right, that is just internet connection for anything else but maps
- hamandcheese 2y agoI'm saying I can't get live traffic on my Tesla maps without a subscription.
- hnlmorg 2y agoWhich is $10 per customer per month more than they’d get if everyone was using CarPlay / Android Auto. It’s been proven time and time again that vertical integration is a massive money earner and you can bet that if Tesla were to release a smartphone then support for that in their cars would be a software update that follows immediately after. But since there’s no plans for a phone, the next best thing is a subscription-based infotainment system.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoCan carplay live stream video from hyundai’s cameras..?
- hnlmorg 2y agoWe are talking about mapping and music. Not parking sensors
- hamandcheese 2y agoYou mean that feature I've never used? I pay for premium data only because of Spotify and live traffic. Which I wouldn't have to do if it had CarPlay.
- hamandcheese 2y agoIt's also for live traffic.
