iOS integration is lackluster

[analRaviOli]

This lack of integration is abysmal compared to what my friends OLD 2011 accord has. I dont understand why they cant even have play list support? Cars that are a quarter of the price with a crappy UI and features has this integration for both android and iPhones yet this 100k car with its crazy giant touch panel interface doesn't. And I'm a software engineer, i know what it takes to integrate this - its very little!.

I would love a nice cover flow album lay out to take advantage of the big screen instead of whipping out my phone and select the song i want.

And what about a phone "Favorites" feature? (or is this feature there and I'm missing it).

I hate having to scroll thru all of my contacts to call a favorite.

That is also another annoyance, however i use the button on the steering wheel that usually has most most recently made calls which include those people. Either way, it would be nice to have it.

It's apparent you're a developer and not a contract negotiator ;-). Apple CarPlay is a *product*, and owned by Apple.

Well we are speaking of playlists and favorites, which does not require apples approval. CarPLay is something different thats really made for smaller screen cars which for Tesla is not really suitable.

Yeah the infotainment system in Teslas is among the worst available today. I recently rented a base level Hyundai and was astonished at how much better the UI/UX of everything was. Even my old Volt (2013) did a lot of these things better, albeit smaller and less pretty.
