Danny Sullivan's Tweet About Model 3 Should Make Tesla Thinking

Google's Danny Sullivan recently tweeted about Chevy Bolt's advantage over Tesla Model 3's not supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. His complaint may be very valid.

Danny Sullivan (Wikipedia) is not the last person in the tech world. Being the co-founder of Search Engine Land last year he joined Google as an adviser at the search division of the company.

About 10 days ago he twitted why didn't buy a Tesla Model 3. He wrote that his main hesitation for buying a Model 3 was that Tesla's flagship Model didn't have Apple CarPlay / Android Auto. This is something that increasingly more and more drivers would want to have in their cars.

Comparing Model 3 to Chevy Bolt, Sullivan wrote that his Bolt has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In fact, Chevy bolt does have few advantages of Tesla Model 3 and Apple CarPlay / Android Auto isn't even mentioned in that Torque News article to which I just linked in this paragraph.

Sullivan then goes and writing "If we can send a Telsa past the moon, we should support those within a Telsa. Meanwhile back on Earth, my Chevy Bolt supports both wonderfully."

Then in a different tweet he suggests the nation's largest car rental companies to put a window stickers on the cars that have support Apple CarPlay / Android Auto.

In fact, Toyota's newest vehicle refresh will have Apple Car Play. Android Auto and Apple Car Play are excellent automotive apps, but on road trips 2 hidden weaknesses and one strength quickly become apparent.
