Tesla does not offer Apple CarPlay from the factory. This wireless CarPlay adapter for Tesla adds it: plug the small box into your Tesla's USB port, pair your iPhone once, and CarPlay opens on the center screen through the Tesla web browser, with no cable needed on later drives.
Before you buy: the CarPlay adapter displays through the Tesla browser. Check that your Tesla's browser opens and stays usable on your current software version, including while driving. If it does not, the adapter will not work in your car.
