If the car is moving how can you do this today?
Click phone click favorite contact on my car display.
I want to see maps and current playing music one click.
I'm sitting at a redlight and want to swap playlists? Click the new playlist.
I want to stream music from my Plex Server at home I click Plexamp and play music from home.
I want to play music from any streaming service regardless if Elon likes it or not? Click.
And it's all done without a subscription.
A Telsa driver sitting at a red light wanting to change their playlist on any app they are forced to use Bluetooth is eventually going to get a ticket.
When Tesla uses the money they milk out of you to support all apps you might want to use then you can talk about it being superior. That sounds unreasonable? Well you know they wouldn't have to spend any time getting Amazon Music or Plex or anything else working if they just supported CarPlay which has all the work already done.
Enjoy your subscription and make sure you only use apps that Telsa supports. Or use Bluetooth for a lesser experience. Telsa isn't a car company it's a software subscription company that moves as the pace of an out of touch company. They still don't support the top four music streaming services and if you think that isn't a priority (probably shouldn't be) then maybe they should step aside and just allow CarPlay that supports everything big or small today.
If you're using Bluetooth and can't fully control the app or switch it, you have a lesser experience than CarPlay. Plain and simple. If you don't use Bluetooth great you use what Tesla allows you to use. Fine. But don't sit there and act like its somehow superior.
I will not let my car dictate what services I use and make me pay for it to boot.
You can say Bluetooth a thousand times. I get it Bluetooth is an option. Now compare Bluetooth to CarPlay and tell me Bluetooth is better. Can I switch from Amazon Music to Plex over Bluetooth? If Bluetooth gives me full control to interact with ANY music app I have on my phone through the car controls without voice commands, I'll concede.
