I'd be interested to know if tesla's have the hardware to support carplay. Being able to stream 60fps video over USB with a custom protocol isn't trivial.

There are opensource projects [1] to implement android auto, so perhaps if someone runs that on a modded tesla, and gets a bunch of youtube views it might embarrass tesla into implementing it properly.

It’s because Toyota couldn’t make a promising navigation system. They tried things like Scout GPS, “embedded nav”, and SDL.
