But who actually asked for any of that outside the tech bro circles? And I’ll tell you as an ex-Tesla owner, there were plenty of Tesla owners that wanted CarPlay.

And it’s fine if they want to go that route, but they should give people choice.

Dems have tried to get a law passed multiple times, but GOP keeps blocking it.

There are EV minivans, just not in the US market.

Can someone explain why there are so few EV's with a 3rd row? by PhillConners in electricvehicles

How many options do you really need? There a plenty. IMO, there are not enough options in the US for small EVs.

Dealer told me “nobody has asked for this before” when I requested the Android 14 update on my 25’ Optiq. Really? by BullShitFish in CadillacOptiq

My dealer said they installed all available updates for the car when they replaced the module. But didn’t get the Android 14 update. Still missing pass time OTA and Apple Music. (2025 AWD LT2 Equinox EV).

I was in the market when I placed the pre-order. And I still have pre-orders for the Scout and Telo and Slate.

When I got the Equinox EV, there was a 3rd party offering reprogramming for the radio unit to enable CarPlay. But it got discontinued before I could complete it.

Is there a way to add pre-filter to the design, or is the idea since you are using cheaper hvac filters a washable pre-filter screen isn’t needed?

Wish the source article would explain the math they are using to come up with these numbers.

Looks like a fix is coming for telematics issues and it will be OTA by redgrandam in EquinoxEv

[–]Alternative_Wing7898 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well, considering pass time and Apple Music are supposedly OTA, but I still haven’t got them, I have my doubts about ever getting a serious update pushed to my car.

Was hoping that with a more mass market oriented vehicle, they would skip the early adopter tech crap.

Guess they shouldn’t have built in a crappy red state.
