New AirDrop feature makes one-time sharing easier
Until now, if you wanted to use AirDrop with someone you didn’t know, the easiest way was to add them as a contact. However, that is something you may not necessarily want.

If we can believe usually reliable Apple expert Mark Gurman, Telsa plans to support CarPlay soon. Unfortunately, that will not be the latest version of CarPlay, called CarPlay Ultra.
Still, it’s nice that Tesla will finally get this support, even if it becomes the regular, wired version of CarPlay. CarPlay will not take over the entire infotainment of your Tesla, but you will see the CarPlay interface in its own, smaller window.
