My car will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I didn't spend much time in the car before pulling the trigger and just assumed that Tesla would have a better media experience than a Ford Focus but from what some people have told me it's not that great. Here is what I currently use my phone for in the car:
I listen to a lot of podcasts. In my current vehicle when I turn the car off the podcast pauses and when I get back in it automatically resumes (same with music)
Attached via USB can play my playlists and display cover art
Stream spotify and other streaming services and have cover art display
Use voice commands to call contacts in my phone without it being attached to the car
Use Siri to get phone numbers and addresses of businesses
Is the media app really that bad? If so what does everyone want it to be able to do? Having that giant screen and not utilizing it for a good media experience would be a shame.
One cool thing I tried when I test drove it was used the voice command and said "find Cubbys" ( a local eatery) and it found all the ones near me and let me pick the location and then routed me to it. I assumed it was using google's database for that?
