Bingo! Love CarPlay on all my cars but do NOT miss it on my Teslas, and in fact, would hate it if it was there. The highest compliment I can give Tesla's software: I don't even notice it. I can't actually tell you much of anything about it either way (good or bad).
Likely unpopular hot take: software you notice after the first 5 min of using it is almost never a good thing (e.g. you spend the first 1-2 min confused and bewildered and then it should wow you for the next 4-3 min and then you should be taking it for granted bc it's just so damn good and natural until the next major update [not minor, these also should be unnoticeable from reality/art] at which that 5min moment repeats).
There are basically only two types of reactions to this:
1. The laugh/disagree that just means they haven't actually used/been in a Tesla for more than 5 min (or at all)
2. The complete agree
3 (may as well not exist from a product marketing perspective). Of course, there is the esoteric, and overwhelmingly small, "yeah, you are technically not wrong" and/or small edge case that really matters to like 0.1% of people where they are right, CarPlay does something that's a deal breaker for them, but this basically doesn't count numbers, spend, strategically, tactically, or otherwise.
