These comments are fascinating. For a couple of years I refused to get a Tesla because it didn't have CarPlay, but I finally gave in.
For non-Tesla owners who think this makes no sense: Tesla's navigation is based on solid Google Maps data and integrates Supercharger locations including how many stalls are available, the charging cost, and more. It uses that charging data to route you, know how much battery you will have left when you get to the station, and how many minutes you will need to charge, etc. It does this for multiple stops and as many charging stations as you will need. CarPlay would be useless for navigation in a Tesla.
For me, that leaves Apple Music. Yes, it's somewhat annoying that it's not built into the Tesla UI. I just lift my Apple Watch and say "Play [whatever song]" and it plays in the car. Tesla Bluetooth uses AAC and sounds fantastic. The car has two wireless charging pads for charging.
Honestly, if I had CarPlay on my Tesla, I wouldn't use it -- and I love CarPlay. I'm open to suggestions of why I'd need it, though.
