The Biggest Apple CarPlay News in Years Just Dropped

Hell has seemingly frozen over, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Ed Ludlow this week reported that Tesla has discussed rolling out support for Apple CarPlay in the coming months.

This is easily the biggest news for the regular version of CarPlay in years, should Tesla actually follow through with offering the system in its vehicles.

As the report notes, this would be a stunning reversal for Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, who have long ignored customer requests to implement CarPlay. We shall see what ultimately happens, though. Musk could change his mind at any moment.

Tesla plans to offer the regular, wireless version of CarPlay, rather than the more advanced CarPlay Ultra system, according to the report. CarPlay would appear within a window inside of Tesla's broader software interface, the report said.

Tesla currently offers Apple Music and Apple Podcasts apps through its own interface.
