Yes, because the alternatives all wanted $20k+ for nickel and diming on basic functionality that a Tesla has.
It’s 2024, and somehow only Tesla or maybe Rivian has accessible video recording built in, even though all cars are covered with cameras.
I went into car buying thinking I wouldn’t entertain a Tesla due to lack of Carplay, and came out never wanting to step into a dealership again. So many stupid games they want to play, I just want to pick my color and pay for the car on my couch on my phone and pick it up.
As much as I love CarPlay, I don’t miss it much when driving a Tesla because they’re one of the few car manufacturers where the built-in interface is just as good, and in some ways better, than what CarPlay gives you.
The things I do miss are the ability to run 3rd-party apps, and a decent voice interface: Tesla’s voice interface sucks very bad compared to Siri.
