Unpopular opinion: Carplay and android auto both suck ass. It’s menu hell and you have to exit it to get to the car settings instead of making the damn car settings an app icon within carplay. Bad design and slow and it requires 5-10 times more button presses than a good infotainment system. Tesla and Rivian kick the shit out of them and make them look bad.
I had wireless Android Auto in a rental car last month and loved it. My car just has the wired version. With wireless, I just sat down and it had locations up already that I was looking at and picked up the music or podcast I was playing. I’m a fan.
Honestly your opinion is invalid if you’re praising Tesla.
But the convenience of CarPlay/AA is that it doesn’t matter that car you’re driving, it’s consistent. It’s niche, but I travel a lot end up in rentals a lot. I’ll always prefer the rental with CarPlay since I’m used to how it works. I don’t have to learn every useless car brands infotainment it’s tied to my phone and just works.
Yeah and every car I get in that supports it doesn’t so I don’t try to do that. That’s kinda the point I’m trying to make, if you’re used to the system and can take it from car to car it’s convenient.
If I’m stuck in a Toyota one day without it and the next I’m in a Kia with out it’s unsafe that I have no idea how the basic systems work when it could be universal and on my phone.
(Also using pinch while driving sounds dangerous but good example either way)
No CarPlay or Android Auto, no buy. Simple as.
Hyndais in Eu has Carplay, and Ithink Hyundai is among the first that has signed up for the new CarPlay too

Bth, Tesla infotainment might be the only thing they did right in that car. Not intrusive, fast, intuitive.
Exception applies for their auto drive, which seems to be actively hunting for humans and walls
actively hunting humans and walls had me chuckling thanks.
FFS carplay doesnt support pinch to zoom or pan on the map.

Android Auto does.
It also has the car infotainment as an app in the app list, at the top of the list by default.
OK then it sounds like the fault lies with Steve Jobs’s ghost not screaming at the carplay engineers enough.
