Infotainment doesn't matter if it has no features. Where is android auto or apple carplay? Where is a HUD or true 360 camera? High trim Avalon's have all of this, and so does a PHEV rav4 primes which is cheaper and has far more utility then a tesla. Tesla is not actually ahead of anyone one else except in electric power train, "self driving", and battery tech. They're losing the self driving advantages every day to the other manufacturers. Tesla won't be on top forever unless they fix these problems.

And who can forget about it's famously bad build quality? Theyre lucky that electric doesn't have many of the issues that ICE cars do because tesla build quality is terrible and they get away with it due to the simple power train...

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve played with Tesla infotainment and I’d much much rather my CarPlay system and physical climate controls. I do want an EV and love the drivetrain of the Tesla’s but that’s the only part of them at all that seems to be better than any other modern premium car.
