"The startup Lucid took some time to add the feature to its high-end EVs, and Rivian still refuses to consider including the system, claiming that a third-party system would degrade the user experience. "
If Tesla is using this to boost car sales, it will be limited to new models only. There are a lot of cheap used Teslas out there; if Carplay is added to them, Tesla both doesn't make any sales money and they won't make any services money for providing connectivity.

It's a bit of a trap. Retrofitting CarPlay is possible on all Teslas, it's not demanding on the infotainment hardware. Every Tesla owner will be aware of that.
