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.
