Maybe people will be able to understand why their "Connect" apps are so horrible?
On my Leaf I can theoretically send a route to the car. And theoretically check things like state of charge. These might work. Or might not. Random API RNG seems to dictate that.

Slow, sure, but not that bad." No, not my garage at home, I was referring to the parking garage two blocks down the street. Which is why, when Nissan offered to do it for free, I had them rip out the GPRS cell radio that wasn't useful anymore when AT&T turned those frequencies off. As parent points out, it wasn't that useful to begin with; not if it's a crap shoot whether it works or not.

But these companies do not seem to value user experience in the same way that a software oriented car company (eg, Tesla) does[1]. [1] Yes, I know that this has consequences that are negative for Tesla too.
