Nah, I have a 3, and here is what it lacks compared to Android Auto:
* Reading of messages
* Replying to messages
* Correct album covers for things like podcasts, audiobooks
* Playlist support
* Waze or Google Maps (yeah Tesla's maps are good, but they don't have road closure information which makes them pretty useless here in Michigan during the construction season. I often forgo Tesla's navigation and use Google Maps instead)
Sure, Tesla's software is better than pretty much any other automaker, but it's still lacking some critical features, at least in my opinion.
- m463 7y agoThat's strange, because telsa maps ARE google maps, including traffic. Most people just pull up tesla websites that support the tesla browser. google "tesla friendly web sites"
- persistent 7y agoThe Tesla map tiles are from Google but the implementation of the app sucks. It doesn't preload tiles along your route so if you go out of mobile coverage it just draws blank rectangles which is hideous. There are many other defects.
- natch 7y agoIt gets improved over time with frequent updates though, including new map data. And I don't know how stale your knowledge is on this, so I wouldn't be so sure this is a problem. People tend to repeat very old information a lot about Tesla, when reality has already moved on. I haven't had a problem with blank tiles in the last year or so and I've been plenty of places with low/no coverage.
