Hard disagree on this one. I have both a 2021 Tesla Model Y and a 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Overall, the Tesla system is much better than the Toyota Infotainment system. For example:
* Tesla maps has a much better zoom/scroll feature (faster, more detail, smoother). The Toyota map requires you to hit the "zoom" button and then click zoom-in/out
* The calendar tool built into the Tesla allows me to easily navigate to the appointment location.
* Tesla maps have way-point selection (set an additional stop between start and end)
* The Toyota Infotainment system does not appear to have a "night mode". Thus, the display puts out a ton of light during night-time driving (even with the brightness level set to minimum)
* Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste
Because of the above, I am forced to use Apple CarPlay in the Toyota because the default UI experience is so horrible. Overall, I like the Toyota (great gas mileage), but I much prefer to drive the Tesla.
- lostmsu 4y agoNone of what you listed is applicable to Android Auto/CarPlay, which is exactly what parent was saying. For Android Auto it is a $100 device to make the system wireless so you don't have to pull your phone out of your pocket.
- rtp4me 4y agoSorry, but the parent to my specific comment did not mention anything about Andriod Auto/Carplay. Their comment specifically said "Tesla is far behind everyone else on navigation due to the simple fact that Teslas do not have Carplay". I am pointing out this is definitely not true.
- gggggg5 4y agoThat's a deeply confusing interpretation. The correct reading is "Carplay brings better-than-Tesla navigation to any car."
- bbbbb5 4y agoGreat, your Tesla has better infotainment than ... a Toyota. > * Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste You can adjust that.
