CarPlay is silly. CarPlay was made for legacy manufacturers who can’t make a decent UI. The UI on Tesla is generally ahead of CarPlay. Not even sure how you would do CarPlay.. a small pop-up window? It couldn’t take over the whole nav or you lose Energy display and a host of other good stuff.

New Subaru’s have the full iPad dash like Tesla’s and integrate CarPlay just fine. It’s a widget in a bigger ui.

So you would do it in the background where the map currently is? And the AC controls pull up over it?

I guess no reason that couldn't work. It wouldn't not anything about battery health, and it would require a cable which most people don't use, but it could work.

A few makers offer wireless CarPlay as well.
