    My next car will have enhanced CarPlay with the new customization features. Not like an American car brand will be missed anyway.

    This is the like software on TVs. No thank you to software that doesn’t see an update after a year and only support some of the most common apps, but yes thank you for Android and Apple TV.

    So they’re throwing their customers under their vehicles for a new subscription model to bleed them dry even more?

    Disclaimer, I have a Tesla and pay for the internet connectivity, for YouTube and Netflix and such, however I never pay for a subscription for any of the basic car functions, and the built in navigation and updates are good enough that I don’t really miss CarPlay (much).
