2022 Apple CarPlay update vs Tesla UI
- Thread starter Ramphex
- Start date
It worked…. But brings me back to my original statement. Tesla UI team is going to need to step their game up to compete with a customizable dash, when they can’t even add an icon for an app that exists

I understand there are opportunities with Tesla software. But it’s the best compared to any other car manufacturers Os. Other manufacturers will win and gladly pay apple to have car play fully integrated. Bmw, Honda, polestar, etc. they all would
Benefit. Good for marketing and one less area to worry about. Tesla keeps it simple. It may not be for everyone but I don’t need a cloudy image of the weather, lyrics from a song playing, or read text messages/respond, etc. again, yes, Tesla could improve on some things. Like the blind spot camera displaying on the bottom left of the screen where your hand will almost always block it. But overall I prefer Tesla over CarPlay.

Wow. That is the interaction/useful dashboard display of my dreams. My 3‘s software is like the child that had so much promise, potential, and capability to achieve, but never amounted to any of it. Also like said individual, says will do it tomorrow, but after years of failed promises and backwards disappointing behaviour, you know it will never be much more than it is now.
You mean you don’t currently enjoy console quality gaming in your Tesla? 
The key is customization. If the simple folks want to leave things as is, they could, but the other group, they’ll have a choice to make things custom, how they like it.
I don’t know how someone could say the not customizable UI is “better”. Wouldn’t it be better to have features and not use them, than to just not have them at all? What if one day you want to tinker and use them?

At minimum, can't we just get Apple Music integration so one of the safest cars in the world doesn't require its users fumbling with their phones over Bluetooth trying to play a song?

yeah I think that and Waze would stave off a lot of this criticism.

And WhatsApp. And podcasts. I’m in the UK so I make use of the BBC Sounds app on CarPlay as well. And voice control that actually works.
I’ve seen people mention a Tesla App Store but why would Apple, Waze, Meta, the BBC or anyone else waste development time on what is, in the grand scheme of things, a niche car manufacturers OS?

Especially when that OS runs on different CPUs requiring multiple versions of those apps to function on all cars.

And even if Tesla wasn't a tiny fraction of their userbases, why would Apple or Google spend time developing apps for a manufacturer who refuses to support their car systems? Tit for tat and all that.
No, what we should be pushing Tesla to do is support them. It's the only way we'll get those apps.

Everyone be forgetting audible app. It’s my most used CarPlay app as I drive a lot and listen to a *sugar* ton of audiobooks. It’s unacceptable I have to touch my phone to listen to an audiobook.

I've never owned a CarPlay compatible car, I wish I had. But, I've rented a couple. There were definitely glitches, particularly on wireless connectivity. But, on the whole, it seemed there were some advantages over Tesla's (otherwise strong) OS. The ones that stand out to me are:
Apple's preview is exciting, but today's CarPlay has advantages.
Just my $.02.
- total integration with the Apple's Contacts, including relationships ("call my mother on her mobile phone");
- more sophisticated native Maps (including multiple routes, which may just be coming to Tesla maps);
- MUCH better integration of messaging (including much safer interaction as messages are read and dictated, and group messaging);
- better handling of phone calls (notably multiway calls); and
- and increasingly vast library of third-party apps.

I’m interested to see if Tesla will compete…. Especially with the layoffs and current work load being increased on the remaining employees.
Compete with what? They have a UI they designed for their car. You could always wait for the Apple Car release. As for layoffs, if you don’t have parts it’s hard to keep people building. Pretty standard business logic. They won’t be the last company doing layoffs in the upcoming economy.
Also, what some people don't understand is that a lot of time corporate fiscal mismanagement is not the one boss at the top sucking up money, but the creation and cost of so many useless departments all with their own VPs, directors, managers, and staff. I've worked for some fairly healthcare companies that literally had more "vice presidents" (not to mention associated staff) than they did clinicians to bring in the money and further their mission. I use past tense because they went under. I would guess that's a big part of what's killing legacy auto: death by a thousand departments with a thousand different agendas. Any effort to streamline and run lean at any level, I support.
When Tesla stops meaningfully innovating and starts creating departments out of thin air... is when I start thinking of selling.

Apple’s Aggressive New Version of CarPlay Is Scaring the Car Industry. Here’s Why.
Apple's next generation of CarPlay is so potentially groundbreaking it could upend the relationship between the car industry and the brand.

“It’s a really difficult time in the industry, where the car companies think they’re still building cars. They’re not. They’re building software on wheels, and they don’t know it, and they’re trading it away.”
