How does it work when you have something in your calendar? I will often put locations in my calendar, get in my car, and then I can tap the location of my next appointment in CarPlay to route me to my next location. I think I’d miss similar integration with a lot of apps that require my personal data to be useful. I can’t see something from the OEM doing this well, especially if I’m not willing to send all my data to them. I would have been squeamish about it before, but it’s a hard no after the auto marker privacy report came out and everyone did horribly. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/ https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-...

  Tesla owner here. If you have the Tesla app installed on your phone, you can "share" addresses from map apps to it and it will auto-sync them to your car. So the workflow is open calendar on your phone, click on location for appointment, open with Tesla app. It's not quite as seamless as android auto, but much better than having to type everything in manually.

    Which defeats the point because you have to interact with your phone.

  You can share calendar and see events on tesla screen with “navigate” button.

    Except it often can't resolve the address if you have something like "Doctor's Appointment 365rd W, Ste 312, Some City, XY, 12345"

What's the Tesla modder community like? Are there jailbroken Teslas that can run Android Auto?

  The method I've seen is to run a carputer with Android installed and use the Tesla web browser to connect to it (no jailbreak needed). https://teslaandroid.com/ https://teslaandroid.com/
