After years of saying no, Tesla reportedly adding Apple CarPlay to its cars

Tesla is reportedly set to add Apple CarPlay to its electric vehicles, a feature that has been missing from the company's cars for years. The move comes as Tesla faces growing competition in the EV market and struggles to maintain sales momentum.

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, the addition of CarPlay could happen within months if it isn't cancelled internally. This would be a significant shift for Tesla, which has long positioned itself as a pioneer in electric vehicles. However, the company's lineup of models has remained stagnant, leading to declining sales and market share.

The lack of CarPlay on Tesla's cars is one of several features that set them apart from competitors. In the past, CEO Elon Musk had emphasized the importance of creating a unique driving experience through infotainment features like fart noises and video games. However, with the rise of popular music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, it appears that CarPlay will be added to Tesla's vehicles to cater to customers' demands.

It's worth noting that Tesla is not alone in its decision. Other automakers have also resisted adding CarPlay to their cars, citing concerns over user experience or preferring to develop proprietary systems instead. However, with the growing popularity of Apple's platform, it seems likely that more manufacturers will eventually follow suit.

The addition of CarPlay would provide Tesla's customers with a seamless integration between their smartphone and vehicle infotainment system, enhancing their overall driving experience. As the EV market continues to evolve, this move could be seen as a necessary step for the company to stay competitive in a crowded landscape.
 
I'm not sure I trust Tesla on this one πŸ€”... they've been playing around with weird features like fart noises and video games before, so it's not like they'd suddenly go mainstream and add something practical like CarPlay just because customers are asking for it πŸ˜‚. Still, if it means making their cars more appealing to a wider audience, I suppose it's a good move... but don't expect me to get too excited about it πŸš—πŸ’»
 
I think Tesla is finally catching up πŸš€πŸ“ˆ! Adding CarPlay to its electric vehicles would be a huge win for customers who want a more seamless and modern infotainment experience. I mean, let's be real, fart noises and video games just aren't cutting it anymore πŸ˜‚. With the rise of popular music streaming services, it's time for Tesla to adapt.

I've sketched out a rough diagram to illustrate my point... πŸ“
```
Tesla's Old Plan: Fart Noises + Video Games
Tesla's New Plan: Apple CarPlay + Modern Infotainment
```
Seriously though, this move shows that Tesla is willing to listen to its customers and evolve with the times. It's a necessary step for the company to stay competitive in the EV market πŸš—πŸ’¨. Bring on the CarPlay! πŸ‘
 
πŸ’Έ Tesla is finally catching up with the rest! I mean, come on, it's about time they added CarPlay to their cars, especially after years of customers complaining about it πŸ™„. It just makes sense, you know? People want to be able to listen to their fave tunes or get directions without having to mess around with some clunky app 🎡. And let's be real, Elon Musk can't keep relying on fart noises and video games as the main selling point for his cars πŸ˜‚. The fact that other automakers are doing this too just shows how much demand there is for it 🀝. So yeah, I think it's a win-win for Tesla and their customers πŸŽ‰.
 
Ugh πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ, can't believe Tesla is finally catching up with everyone else... like, what took them so long? I mean, it's not like CarPlay has been around forever, but seriously, it's been missing from their cars for years and they're just now deciding to add it. And of course, they have to do it after all the other manufacturers have already made the switch... πŸ™„.

I get it, Elon wants to cater to his customers' demands and provide a seamless experience, but come on, didn't he think this would be a good idea years ago? It's like they're playing catch-up now. And what about all those fart noises and video games? Who really uses that stuff anyway? πŸ˜‚ Just kidding, sort of...
 
πŸš—πŸ’» so like tesla is finally gonna add carplay to its electric vehicles? πŸ€” that's huge! it's crazy how they've been missing out on this feature for years and now they're jumping on the bandwagon. πŸ˜‚ according to bloomberg, they might just get it done in a few months if it's not cancelled internally. πŸ•’

anyway, here are some fun stats: did you know that 85% of americans own a smartphone? πŸ“± and 75% of those people use their phones while driving! πŸš—πŸ˜³ so, like, carplay is basically a necessity for any decent infotainment system these days.

here's a chart to illustrate the point: ⬇️

* 2020: 45% of cars had built-in apple carplay (source: Edmunds)
* 2022: 70% of new cars came with apple carplay as standard (source: iSeeCars)
* 2024: πŸš—πŸ’» (estimated) - 90%+ of cars will have some form of apple carplay integration

it's clear that consumers want this feature, and now it seems like tesla is finally listening. πŸ“’ what do you guys think? are you excited for the addition of carplay to tesla vehicles? πŸ€”
 
πŸš—πŸ’» I feel like this is gonna make tesla's cars way more user friendly πŸ€“. they've been stuck in a weird place with their own infotainment system and now it seems like they're finally adapting to the times 🌟. i mean, who doesn't love being able to access spotify or apple music while on the go? 😍 this is definitely a step in the right direction for them if they wanna stay ahead of the competition πŸ’ͺ.

I'm also thinking about how this might affect other car manufacturers that haven't added CarPlay yet πŸ€”. are they just gonna stick with their own proprietary systems or will they finally cave in? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ either way, it's gonna be interesting to see how all of this plays out πŸ“Ί.

Tesla's been trying to create a unique driving experience and i think adding CarPlay is actually a way to enhance that πŸŽ‰. it's not about stripping away their own features but about giving customers what they want 😊. now, let's just hope tesla can figure out how to make their cars even more efficient and range-extended πŸ”‹!
 
Ugh πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ, can't believe Tesla is finally caving in! Like, I get it, they need to adapt to keep up with the competition, but it's just so... boring 😴. Remember when Musk was all about creating this unique experience? Fart noises and video games? What happened to that genius? 🀣

But for real though, CarPlay is a no-brainer. Customers want convenience and simplicity, not some fancy proprietary system that might be clunky or glitchy. I'm just glad it's happening sooner rather than later 😊.

It's interesting to see other automakers resisting the move, but I think we're all just tired of waiting for them to catch up πŸ™„. With Apple dominating the game with CarPlay, it's inevitable that others will follow suit. Bring on the seamless smartphone-to-car integration! πŸ‘
 
Tesla gotta step up its game πŸš—πŸ’»! No CarPlay is straight up old news, and if they wanna keep sales rolling, they need to get on board ASAP πŸ•’. I mean, who wants to be stuck with fart noises and video games while everyone else has Spotify on their dashboard? πŸ˜‚ It's time for Tesla to get with the times and give its customers what they want - a smooth ride with seamless integration. The competition is heating up, and if they don't move now, they might just get left in the dust πŸŒͺ️.
 
I'm low-key surprised that Tesla is finally jumping on the CarPlay bandwagon πŸ€”. I mean, we all knew they'd have to cave eventually given how popular it is. It's about time they brought some much-needed standardization to their infotainment system. I've heard from a few sources (don't quote me πŸ˜‰) that Elon was super keen on making Tesla's cars stand out with weird features like fart noises, but I think even he knows when to fold 'em.

It's actually kind of ironic that they're doing this now, given how stagnant their lineup has been. It feels like a major admission that they can't keep innovating without copying the competition. But hey, at least it'll be nice for customers who just want a smooth driving experience without having to fiddle with settings all day πŸš—πŸ’». The question is, will this be enough to get Tesla back on track? Only time (and possibly some behind-the-scenes shenanigans πŸ˜‰) will tell!
 
🀩 I think it's about time Tesla caught up with the rest of the world! Adding CarPlay to its electric vehicles would be a major win for customers who want an seamless integration between their phone and car πŸ“±πŸ’». It's not like they're gonna start blasting fart noises or video games again, thank goodness πŸ˜‚! Seriously though, it's about time Tesla made some changes to stay competitive in the EV market. With more and more people making the switch to electric cars, manufacturers need to prioritize features that matter most to customers πŸš€πŸ’¨. CarPlay is a no-brainer for anyone who wants a premium driving experience πŸ’―. Let's hope this move doesn't get cancelled internally πŸ˜…!
 
Ugh, can't believe they're finally adding CarPlay πŸ™„... like it's been a secret request from all us Tesla owners who just want to listen to our Spotify playlists while driving without having to deal with fart noises πŸ˜‚. I mean, what took them so long? It's not like we were all just sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting for this feature 🀣. And now that they're doing it, I'm pretty sure every other manufacturer is gonna follow suit... it's about time they caught up with the rest of us tech-savvy drivers πŸš—πŸ’». But hey, at least we'll finally be able to get some peace and quiet in our cars 😌...
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s about time Tesla caught up with the rest of us πŸ™ƒ. I mean, who wants to spend their entire road trip stuck on fart noises and video games when you can just sync your Spotify playlist? It’s crazy that they thought they were ahead of the game all these years πŸ’₯. But honestly, CarPlay would be a total game-changer for Tesla – it’d make their cars way more user-friendly and appeal to a wider audience πŸš—. Now we just gotta wait and see if Elon Musk actually follows through on this one... fingers crossed! πŸ‘
 
I'm thinking Tesla is like me when I run out of memes - desperate for content 🀣. But seriously, CarPlay on their cars would be a game-changer! I mean, can you imagine trying to play Fortnite in your car while simultaneously navigating the roads? It's like Elon Musk wanted to create a whole new level of distracted driving... just kidding, that's not a good idea at all πŸ˜‚.

On a more serious note, it's about time Tesla caught up with the times. I mean, we're living in 2025 and they still haven't added CarPlay? It's like they're trying to make us wait for the iPhone 15 just so we can play PokΓ©mon Go on our dashboards πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

But hey, at least it'll be a great excuse for Tesla to finally update their UI... because who needs a touchscreen that takes forever to load when you can have CarPlay? Priorities, people! πŸš—πŸ’»
 
πŸš—πŸ’» I mean, can't believe Tesla is finally catching up with everyone else πŸ™„. They've been so focused on being "different" and whatnot, it's crazy they never thought about just making their cars more user-friendly. And yeah, the fart noises and video games thing was always a bit of a stretch πŸ˜‚.

But for real, adding CarPlay is a smart move. It shows that Tesla is willing to listen to its customers and adapt to changing tech trends. I mean, it's not like they're going to start playing Apple music on repeat or something πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ.

It's actually pretty cool that other automakers have been resisting this change too. I guess some people still want to be "unique" or whatever πŸ€”. But let's be real, the customer is always right, and CarPlay is a feature that most people are going to expect from their cars. So, yeah, I'm glad Tesla is finally getting on board! πŸ‘
 
ugh i'm so confused about car play thingy... like what's the point of having a super fancy electric car if you can't even listen to your fave tunes or something while driving? πŸ€” and i just got my new iphone and i'm still figuring out how to use it lol anyway back to tesla... like isn't car play already on their phones or something? wouldn't that be, like, redundant? πŸ™ƒ
 
I gotta say, it's about time Tesla gets its act together with CarPlay! I mean, we're talkin' 2025 and they're still holdin' out on this feature? It's like they wanna be the rebels of the automotive world, but at what cost?

Think about it, a lot of their customers are probably just dyin' to sync up their Spotify playlists or catch up on podcasts while they're drivin'. With CarPlay, that's all gonna become seamless. No more fiddlin' with screens or Bluetooth connections - it's like the smartphone has taken over the car!

Now, I know Elon Musk and his crew like to think outside the box, but sometimes you just gotta play by the rules. The market's got its eye on this, folks, and Tesla needs to keep up. It's all about customer satisfaction at the end of the day.

I hope they make it happen soon, 'cause I'm tired of seein' all these other EV models with CarPlay as a standard feature!
