Who needs CarPlay and Siri? Tesla is reportedly working on its own in-car voice assistant instead

Tesla Model 3.

If you're a Tesla EV owner who also happens to own an iPhone you're likely already very aware that there is no Apple CarPlay support for you or your vehicle. CEO Elon Musk has so far refused to add the feature, and he doesn't seem more willing to add Android Auto for that matter, either. And a new revelation suggests that is unlikely to change any time soon.

The lack of CarPlay support isn't as keenly felt by Tesla drivers as you might think thanks to support for Tesla-built apps for things like Apple Music. But no CarPlay also means no Siri, leaving Tesla owners to stab at their (admittedly huge) in-car screens with their fingers instead. But that could be about to change.
