Counterpoint: Tesla has the best interface I've ever used in a car. I've used CarPlay and Android Auto in previous vehicles, the Tesla iPad experience is _vastly_ superior. Mapping, defaults, interactions, nothing is better in the phone apps.

> I've used CarPlay and Android Auto in previous vehicles, the Tesla iPad experience is _vastly_ superior. Mapping, defaults, interactions, nothing is better in the phone apps. LOL. No. Just no. And I'm on my third (and likely the last) Tesla. Tesla's navigation is just crap. It doesn't work offline, its routing decisions are sometimes are incorrect, it's difficult to use, etc.

  Tesla's navigation is based on Google Maps. It's very good. It -does- work offline, and it's trivially easy to use. The voice instructions are clear, the large screen and context-sensitive portion in the binnacle are great. I love that you can navigate home with a downswipe on the "navigate" button. It's effortless.

It can't show the map tiles, and its offline address entry can't always resolve the address. > The voice instructions are clear, the large screen and context-sensitive portion in the binnacle are great. Yes, Mr Musk. They sure are. I didn't even _had_ to use voice commands with any of my previous cars. Because why would I? It's just easier to use the controls.

I drive a Tesla S and a Tesla Model Y a few months out of the year, and both cars lag like 200ms on the first few keypresses when typing into the map search input, and swiping around the map or moving the media player overlay drawer up or down drops framerates down to 15fps or lower, which to me puts it on par with Android tablets in 2013. According to my Tesla app, the Y seems to be running the latest software from 2024, and the S is on 2022 software. Maybe they dropped support?
