"Apple CarPlay, the interface that lets you cast your phone to your car's infotainment screen, may finally be coming to Tesla's electric vehicles. CarPlay is nearly a decade old at this point, and it has become so popular that almost half of car buyers have said they won't consider a car without the feature, and the overwhelming majority of automakers have included CarPlay in their vehicles."
"For customers who want to stream music, Tesla has instead offered Spotify, Tidal, and even Apple Music apps. But Tesla is no longer riding high -its sales are crashing, and its market share is shrinking around the world as car buyers tire of a stale and outdated lineup of essentially two models at a time when competition has never been higher from legacy and startup automakers."
Apple CarPlay mirrors phones to car infotainment screens and has become widely expected by buyers and included by most automakers. Tesla has historically omitted CarPlay while offering native streaming apps like Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music and focusing infotainment on playful features and integrated games. Tesla's sales are declining and market share is shrinking as buyers react to a limited, aging lineup amid intensifying competition from legacy and startup automakers. Bloomberg reports that CarPlay could be added to Tesla vehicles within months unless internal plans change. Several other automakers and startups have also resisted including CarPlay.
