Tesla Inc. is developing support for Apple Inc.’s CarPlay system in its vehicles, according to people with knowledge of the matter, working to add one of the most highly requested features by customers.

The carmaker has started testing the capability internally, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the effort is still private. The CarPlay platform — long supported by other automakers — shows users a version of the iPhone’s software that’s optimized for vehicle infotainment systems. It’s considered a must-have option by many drivers.

For sure they have reliability issues and specific problems and recalls, I’m not unapologetically defending anyone :) they aren’t Toyota, but they improved year after year and Teslas radical approach to car design and manufacturing shook up the industry in a good way in my opinion.

you're moving the goalposts. first you said they were good, now you're saying they have reliability problems and other issues requiring recalls.

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not at all: recalls and specific issues are usually linked to production hiccups or supply chain problems, not design. They might have some problems with the door handles (design problem) but the cars (excluding the Cybertruck aberration) don't fare worse nor better than the industry typical rate of recalls.

I just wanted to point out that they are not utter garbage - because in fact for some feature sets they are brilliant and unmatched to this day - but for sure they are far from perfect!

but for sure they are far from perfect!

you've gone from "they are objectively brilliant vehicles." to 'far from perfect'.

pick a fucking lane already
