I just installed a new head unit in my car this year. It's still a thing. I do think the sizing standard is dying as car manufacturers currently favor integrated units over modular. I hope that fades as these cars age and people see the flaw of "my car wont start because a capacitor in my radio dried out and it fails post".
For most common vehicles there exists at least one third party bezel that you can install to get a standard DIN mount. Then you can install a third party device into that.
Even better there’s whole head units designed to fin nicely into the dash and look relatively OEM. My co worker was looking at one that was like $300 but came with a massive nice screen vs the stock 6” display.
Well I'll be. Poked around and even teslas have aftermarket head units available.
Well shit thats great. If tesla ia doing it then surly compatability must be required by law otherwise no way in hell they would do it.
It's likely a third party that's doing it, not tesla themselves.
