    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.

      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.

        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
