Depends where you live. My neighborhood is full of Land Rover, Porsche, MB, etc., etc. My neighbor buddy a few doors down has 3 new Audis. I see plenty of people buying most of these brands.
Wow that looks slick, I have a 2022 Tiguan with a digital cluster, but I can't see mine getting that update.
I wonder what legalities Apple open themselves up for if the speedometer isn't accurate and someone gets busted speeding or something?

Bye bye physical buttons 
all those stupid screens are a good idea on paper and when standing, but poor when driving. How this even gets approved by the traffic safety department is beyond me.

3 of the top 5 auto manufacturers by sales? And 7 of the top 20.
Maybe I don't pay too much attention to this, but I haven't seen too many brands using CarPlay as a selling point, especially since it's no longer a paid option on my car))) But I may just have missed it. Which model are you looking at?
Yes. Confirmed it at WWDC. The hardware and interconnected networks have to be there to support this tech beyond the current version. This is more than just mirroring the iPhone on the cars main screen (current set up). This is full integration into the subsystems in the car.
Well, I don't think they'll be removing physical buttons alongside this — not everyone uses CarPlayBye bye physical buttons
So I am supposed to ditch the car manufacturers driving instrument display and use Apples? No thanks on this for now.
Behold the power of consumer choice.
Gorgeous. Love the interior color too. I considered the previous RR model to be the most beautiful thing in the auto industry, this one surprised me with it's tiny tail lights, but they didn't consult me, so... It's still amazing though.
Yes, your car's emblem will also be replaced with
The Car manufacturer is responsible for making their car CarPlay compatible and connectable to the phone. Those upgrades depends on how the manufacturer handles upgrades (mine upgrades via USB flash drives).
So in other words specific car models only since most hardly update anything.
Guess I'm sticking with my plan to get a Model 3.
I won’t risk using this if there’s no immediate fallback. My iPhone 14 pro
Carplay crashes at least twice on long journeys. Usually if it’s been wireless charged + playing Apple Music + using google maps.
Displaying an instrument cluster will be too much. These phones are really bad at managing power + ram + avoiding overheating.

Wireless CarPlay is great, except it drains the phone battery pretty rapidly, from my experiences using it so far.
Maybe they can improve that too? But right now, you really need the combo of wireless CarPlay and an effective cordless charging mat to place the phone on in the vehicle.
One of my neighbors got one about a month or two ago; it's pretty nice. I'd been considering a new X, but I won't get another Tesla until the new batteries (est. 500+ mile range) are out. A little birdie @ Tesla told me that's likely happening in 2023, but Tesla is hard to predict.
I found with my iPhone 13 Pro, it had some problems keeping up too, depending on what I was doing in CarPlay. Seems like it works well enough if all you're doing is using it for GPS with Google or Apple Maps or even Waze. But that seems to use enough of the wireless bandwidth so when you stream music on top of it? You get "glitches" where the music intermittently stops or makes a "popping" noise, maybe every 3-5 minutes while listening to it? (I think it might also depend on the bitrate the music was encoded at. I was only playing music saved locally on my iPhone.)
How did you manage to turn a discussion about software on a car into talking about the stock price of some company.
Unbelievable.
