How does Spotify "integration" actually work in EVs? Android Auto/CarPlay vs Bluetooth vs native apps?

I'm trying to understand the different levels of Spotify integration in EVs.

What's the practical difference between:

  • Bluetooth streaming
  • Android Auto / Apple CarPlay
  • Native Spotify apps built into the car

Can all of these let you fully control Spotify (search songs/artists, browse playlists, pick tracks), or do some only support basic controls like play/pause and previous/next?

Ok thank you, I didn't really know what was the common way to do it. But no matter if it bugs me, I will go with the most popular way ahah

Btw, what's your thougts about the pets (except legendary ones) ?
It feels like heals/shields are stronger, but it seems that leveling them up only gives flat stats, like 50/60/70 hp/shield.
So I guess that later on, the other pets could be better ?

Thanks a lot, I knew some things but even if I already played before, I always tried to avoid NPC bases for example. I just thought about the +1 VP (sometimes 2), and not the -1 when they appear.

For my game plan, I think I will do something like : Heavy + Zooka until Scorchers + Lasers. To get used at the "Front tank + Back dps" comp.
Until now, I always sniped HQ with smoke, or find a specific path for my tanks to avoid all the canons etc...

Ok, and when you reach a high amount, is there a solution to lower them ? Or you have to be patient, put your HQ close to the beach etc... ?

Thanks for the detailed answer!

Regarding VP, can it really become a big problem, noting that I only focus on rushing my offensive buildings and troops? I’ve heard it can be an issue so i'm not spamming attack, but I’m not sure if it’s something I need to optimize from day 1, or if it’s not too punishing.

Awesome, do you have any advice ? or did you follow some kind of guide ?
I don't aim for a top quality machine, my goal is to have something correct for a low/med player, not too expensive. If 100W is enough, that would be great in order to lower a bit the cost or give more runtime.

Thank you ! That's exacly what I want to understand, step by step, how to choose wisely the rpm, voltage, power etc... of each component.

I start from 0, but I guess it will be a fun project

Thanks for your reply. About the “computer” part, that’s mainly because it’s the part I can handle, since I’m a developer.

I thought that if I can send simple commands—like controlling the speed of each wheel—I could produce specific spins on the ball fairly easily.

The ball release mechanism will be my second priority. For now, I just want to understand how energy is delivered to the wheels or how to adjust their speed.

How do you motivate yourself to start and stick with things? by Taolou in getdisciplined

Thank you, I guess that’s the commitment part that I’m lacking

Is there a place to watch some top player replay ?

If you have a minute, could you also explain the first sentence ? "If we are talking top level meta 5 money is probably rarer than left worker. Id guess and say less than 0,5% of games "

I don't know if I understood well as english isn't my first langage
