- mmcclure 7y agoI actually couldn't disagree more, I deeply dislike Tesla's infotainment center. It's a much larger version of "traditional" manufacturer's displays with more functionality that I want shoved into it. I'd much prefer that display be an extension of my personal device. I don't want a new infotainment ecosystem with the manufacturer's choices baked in, I want the an extension of the one I'm going to keep using when I get out of the car, replete with my personal preferences for things like map applications, music, etc.
- fps 7y agoyeah, I've used Tesla's software, it's garbage compared to android auto.
- myko 7y agoi prefer my wife's Android Auto ('18 Nissan Rogue) to my '18 Model S :(
- singingboyo 7y agoHuh, someone else with an '18 rogue. Does your wife's have an issue where once in a while it refuses to go into AA, and you have to hard-reboot the infotainment system? Mine does this thing where AA icon shows up, touching it does does the click animation, but doesn't actually launch AA. That's my only real complaint with the system, actually. Once in a while it just really doesn't want to launch AA. Once I'm in though... works great. (Okay, maybe the steering wheel could use a play/pause button, but that's minor)
- myko 7y agoDefinitely has a similar issue now and then.
- ex3ndr 7y agoAA is a different beast than CarPlay.
- persistent 7y agoThey're both miles ahead of what you get from Tesla.
- revscat 7y agoHow?
- CalChris 7y agoThis is interesting because I rather like Tesla's nav system and music. The browser is kinda lame but I have a phone for that. Perhaps it was my coming from the crime against humanity that is CarWings in my old Nissan Leaf. I liked my Leaf, but there was nothing on the center console that wasn't better on my iPhone.
- saagarjha 7y agoNew Nissan Leafs support both CarPlay and Android Auto, thankfully.
- MBCook 7y agoFrom what I’ve seen most cars that support one support the other. It seems to be rare for a car to only support one of the two. Must be easy to implement both of you do one of them.
- zrobotics 7y agoMost of the systems in-car are android based, so android-auto support is pretty much free; and iThings are so common that not supporting them would likely cost sales.

- o-__-o 7y agogood luck figuring out how to turn on your a/c without looking. I loved my old Ford Fusion because it was a touch interface but with raised and lowered plastic so you knew what you were pressing. https://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/2015-ford-fusion-energi-titanium-sedan-temp-control.png https://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/2015-ford... the newer fusions replaced controls with actual buttons which looks cheaper and doesn't make it any easier to figure out without looking. probably due to increased failures or simply cost savings
- natch 7y agoIt comes on automatically when needed but thanks.
- kalleboo 7y agoCool, so it has an IR camera to sense my body temperature?
- kwhitefoot 7y agoYou can use the menu button and scroll wheel on the steering wheel and see the response in the dashboard.
