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?

I was hesitant buying my Tesla this year (first one) as I really liked having CarPlay in my prior car (Jeep). But after having it a while, it's really a non-issue. The Tesla Apple Music app is pretty good. Their maps and navigation is pretty good (and integrated with FSD). And I can easily just use the bluetooth connection for a couple other minor things I occasionally use.

I got a loaner with fsd and tried it out.

There was this one trip I took to a store and for some reason, the nav route detoured off the road to the next street over, then joined back with the route.

I think this is a thing nav systems do and people just ignore it and go the right way.

except the tesla tried to drive the dumb route.

lol
