I like the Tesla car computer a lot more than Android Auto. I just wish I could install 3rd party apps.

Part of the reason is there's no delay waiting for my phone to connect, and no random disconnections while driving.

There are issues with infotainement systems in older vechicles supporting Android Auto and Apple Car Play. This is primarily because car manufacturers (or subcontractors) aren't good at integrating these systems. Often they are tight on budget too!

Personally, I’m not a fan of Tesla’s car computer. My main annoyance is the lack of physical buttons. All I want from my car is reliable navigation, seamless audio playback, and easy mobile call handling.

That's pretty much what the Tesla computer has. I do agree that the lack of physical buttons is a problem; and now that there are more EV makers on the marketplace the market can speak very loudly and choose other automakers.
