Do you need to log into it in order to shift it out of park? Can you drive it without a smartphone on your person? Do certain HVAC functions require a paid subscription?
If GM wants to drop CarPlay and force me to use their broken laggy garbage I just won't buy their car same goes for Tesla. Not paying a subscription fee for GPS.
I just want someone to figure out the perfect entertainment system has a volume knob, a radio button, and a mirror phone screen and audio button and thats it. Bonus points for allowing me to choose to mirror over wifi or over a usb that also charges.
Tesla and Rivian both have excellent UIs. Mostly GM & Ford don't have great ones. I don't have exp with the latest ones from them. VW software has struggled to an embarrassing degree, seems to be better lately? Porsche is in that company family but it's worked out better for them I have read.
