The most sold EV brand in the US with about 2/3 of market share doesn't allow CarPlay either.
Now don't get me wrong, I want my Apple Carplay too. I wouldn't want to buy a car without it.
But the argument that "as the shakeup due to EVs begins, even loyal consumers will be considering other makes" I just don't see happen in real life today. Most EV buyers chose a Tesla. No CarPlay or Android Auto in that one.

- _dain_ 4y agoThe most sold EVs are electric bicycles.
- helveticabold48 4y agoI think Tesla is pretty far ahead of its competition today people are ok to overlook the lack of apple carplay. but when others do catch up (if, say, Ford EV somehow become as good as Teslas) then i suspect ppl won't be so forgiving.
