Upon inception the center console was replete with useful utilities and easter eggs, but three years later on there is growing discontent at the lack of updates and overall slowness of the browser.
I make an earnest plea that apple car play be included as an app in the center console for several reasons:
1) Ease of implementation: it is difficult to buy a $25,000 hyundai these days that doesn't have this feature. This tells me that it must be cheap and easy to implement. It would be effortless for Tesla to include this feature as an app to its suite.
2) De Facto standard: My wife is bamboozled by the center console in the Tesla, but loves car play in her Audi. Including Apple car play lowers the learning curve for new car buyers, and technophobes.
3) Instantly adds new features to the Tesla: The inclusion of apple play instantly adds texting, better music control and a host of other features that are maintained by Apple R&D and are "gifted" to Tesla through Apple car play.
4) Redundancy: There are times when my Tesla is in a dead zone, and others where my phone has no bars. Redundancy provides reliability and safety.
5) Provides Tesla with breathing room: Apple car play gives Tesla time to work on their own apps and make sure they work before releasing them to the public. Model S drivers are currently feeling quite neglected.
