Biggest reason I never wanted a Tesla was it didn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Huge reason I might not go ahead with my Fisker order is same reason. I have a phone. It has everything I want in it, including how to find an EV charger. …

Gotta wonder if GM knows something about an Apple car — otherwise, it's hard to imagine why GM would take such a radical step & risk alienating consumers by completely ditching Apple CarPlay GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in EVs, with Google's help https://www.reuters.com/..…

One of my big fears about buying an EV is all the data capture (see: Tesla). Apple isn't perfect, but their data-sharing is more cautious than most, and that WILL be a factor if I purchase a “smarter” car. #fwp https://twitter.com/...

This sure seems like a bad decision on GM's part. Apple folks are incredibly loyal. https://finance.yahoo.com/...

“GM's move to restrict access to CarPlay and Android Auto, which is expected to begin with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, will help the automaker capture more data on its customers ... It could also help inform future subscription products.” https://www.theverge.com/...

I understand GM's reasoning for this, but question whether it will stand. Google Maps is presently lousy for useful #EV charging station info, but I have to think a huge number of GM buyers use these features. It could well keep me from buying a GM EV. https://www.reuters.com/...

Screw this! CarPlay is an increasingly-requested feature for new car buyers and is only getting better. GM's decision is brazenly anti-consumer and another way vehicles are getting worse. https://www.reuters.com/...

If accurate (and @JBWEyesonroad is a reliable reporter), this a true forehead-slapping moment from GM, and it almost doesn't even matter how good the Google solution is. 🤦🏻♂️ 🤦🏻♂️ 🤦🏻♂ ️ https://finance.yahoo.com/...
