Interesting contrast to all this tech is that my wife liked the Rivian, but when I told her they won’t do car play that interest went to 0. Can CarPlay not play nice with these things or do they want to keep all the tech dollars to themselves?

In 6 years I don’t want your laggy legacy system with unsupported apps. I want my new phone to power the experience. Most of my experience in a car is digital, the physical needs to do its best to get out of the way. I hope Rivian fails for missing this obvious point.

What do you mean? My experience in a budget car from the early 2010s is entirely the opposite, so I don't understand fully.

I drive a 2013 VW diesel and literally every aspect of vehicle ownership today is inferior except for emissions.
