I 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.

yeah, I've used Tesla's software, it's garbage compared to android auto.

  i prefer my wife's Android Auto ('18 Nissan Rogue) to my '18 Model S :(

    Huh, 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)

      Definitely has a similar issue now and then.

  AA is a different beast than CarPlay.

    They're both miles ahead of what you get from Tesla.

This 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.

  New Nissan Leafs support both CarPlay and Android Auto, thankfully.

    From 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.

      Most 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.
