I’m looking for a new car. Not a single manufacturer achieved anything similar to what Tesla has achieved. Tesla’s software is so good, that I can’t drive anything else.

The updated self driving is also very nice, to the point where I would consider it worth paying $100 per month for aging parents or those who otherwise could use a slight guardrail. I might get one for my parents since Waymo is still probably 10 years out from being ubiquitous. Also bizarre to me that only Tesla/Rivian offer dash cam recordings as a standard feature. All the other cars seem to come with cameras, they just choose not to allow the video to be saved?

The comment you're replying to says other companies have taken the "software" and the "iPad". To genuinely believe that, one must have not spent much time using Tesla's software or "iPad" to compare with competitors. It becomes more and more clear that traditional automakers see software as just another lowest-cost component of the car. I understand VW actually started putting effort into their software, but I haven't heard good things about it. Maybe it'll get better.

  They cancelled that effort. They tried to create their own software company but shuttled that effort and are back on the "integrate the different vendors" bandwagon.

? My Ford Mustang Mach-e has great software. It works, is reliable, supports apple and android car. BMW software stack does even more. Where is this coming from? What are the features you are missing? BMW can be remote controled also Mercedes and VW btw.

  are you on crack? The only German car that even comes close to Tesla is the new BMV Neue Klasse.

  > supports apple and android car That’s precisely what I don’t want my car to support. Every other car’s software is essentially a CarPlay integration.
