And just like Tesla, this truck is capable of receiving critical software updates over the air. But these aren’t the only new features you can expect in the F-150. The vehicle comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity features that make it easy to stream music and use portions of your smartphone without taking your eyes off the road.
