No CarPlay.
Boo. They need to stop trying to make their own proprietary system, it’s not gonna happen.
Dealbreaker for me. Such a shame because I’m in the market for a small hatchback-like EV, being a sonic owner and all.
I don't think it's a complete deal breaker if the company can be trusted to make decent software (Tesla, Rivian?) but for companies like GM and VW...
I have a Tesla. Their software sucks, and has gotten consistently worse over the years.
Probably because Apple requires them to use specific hardware and then has to approve it. As per usual, Apple wants to control everything.
Android Auto works fine.
Reportedly there’s no Android Auto support either.

It's very stupid but there are AA/Carplay devices you can install to get them back.
There are some surprisingly decent aftermarket options these days. Fast processors, big screens. I almost considered one because my recent car's processors are fucking awful, especially compared to my last car.
