I would never buy a car that did not support both Android Auto and CarPlay. In fact, that is why I did not buy a Prius.

The software in a Chevy Bolt EV is unbelievably bad, taking several second to respond to presses of the power button, which means your awful experience starts from the moment you get in the car. I suggest that GM mercifully assign each and every member of their software division to literally any other non-software role, and let someone with good taste take over.

10 years ago I sold a Chevy Volt and bought a Tesla (I did very well that year). The UI was also terrible, then.

I see nothing has changed despite Tesla existing for over 10 years now.

Even though the Tesla doesn't support CarPlay, it doesn't have to, because its native UI is great (and responsive!)
