This story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich.

I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to find a photo you took on your phone now

Maybe try using the "myToyota Connect" app for a day, or most any legacy carmarker's touchscreen UI, and tell me who's the worst at improving their technology.

Although I do agree with Woz that not having a physical latch for opening the glovebox on the Tesla is the stupidest thing ever.

Photos app in iOS 18 is simply atrocious. Try sharing an album with friends. So many UX issues that it could be a case study.

That being said it's funny that Wozniak left Apple before Apple era.

I bet fans will not react to this. They believe their genius is at work.

I don't think I've met a single Tesla fan who thinks getting rid of the stalks on the Model 3 Highland was a good idea. Even Tesla had to backpedal on this, since the new Model Y Juniper brought back one for turn signals (but not gear selections).

The Model Y, 3 has no physical latch in the back seat to exit. As an owner who primarily sits in the front seat this was a significant oversight on my part. And I won’t be making it again.

I probably missed something. I thought that he stopped being involved with Apple development in 1985 (40 years ago).
