Tesla Likely to Launch its Own In-Car App Store

According to media sources, Elon Musk's electric vehicle business Tesla is working on an App Store that will be available on the cars' touchscreen control panel.

Despite Musk's support for Epic Games and his description of Apple's App Store as "a de facto global tax," "According to AppleInsider, Tesla is working on its own competitor.

When Tesla launched an upgrade that enabled for a configurable icon bar at the bottom of the touchscreen, rumours began to circulate.

However, according to TheDriven, an investor described as "in the know" by the website, "Tesla App Store has been hinted at.

 investor Sawyer Merritt tweeted a video of Steve Jobs presenting the App Store and stated that it would be available soon.

Merritt hasn't explicitly stated that a Tesla App Store exists. Tesla hasn't said anything about it, but Musk recently tweeted, "Tesla is as much a software company as it is a hardware (one)."

Other sources tell TheDriven that a Tesla App Store will launch before the company's Cyber Truck is delivered. However, none of them have strong evidence, so it may all be speculation.
