Serious question.. Is the software on the Taycan or Ionic a better experience than in the Tesla?

The real question is whether Tesla's software is better than CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't want my car manufacturer competing with Apple/Google and their 3rd party app ecosystems because they're going to lose every time. Give me the controls I need to drive the car as physical buttons/levers, let my phone take over the infotainment system.

The software? I haven't even thought about it as much till you asked this question. But the Taycan and the Ionic are both a better car at this stage than a Tesla.

As a Taycan owner I would say it isn’t ( there are a lot of factors involved to sum that up ).

It’s a better car though.

But not everyone cares about the software that much in their cars.

I don't want to play Doom or The Witcher on the giant touchscreen infotainment system in my car nor do I want so called "smart" featured that don't work right half the time.

Give me Android/Apple connect and physical knobs and switches and I'm good.

But can you watch Netflix in a Taycan or Ionic?

I have a giant phone.

Not 15"

how long are you sitting in your car that you need a 15 inch screen for entertainment. are you a taxi driver? on the rare occasions when you have to wait that long, just get your ipad with you.

I often need to wait for a family member to do some shopping, or wait somewhere to pick a family member up. So yea if I couldn't use the large screen already built into the car, I would have to use an iPad I guess. Watching YouTube in the Tesla automatically turns off the headlights and dims the canopy lights which is nice. Total integration.

Not sure if I'm weird but I have literally never wished that I had a big screen for watching Netflix in my car.
