Is there a specific reason why Tesla refuses to integrate CarPlay or Android Auto?

This might work out ok at low speed. The algorithm is simply "Don't hit anything. Stop if confused."
Considering that they haven't perfected the "don't accelerate into stationary objects" algorithm, I'm not sure I trust this in an area with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
Smart summon is here; hide your young children.
Apparently babies often nap outside in nordic countries (see cafe image): https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21537988 I could imagine smart summon really doing something bad, since it is using tech that just isn't ready.

Is it a joyous experience when you have to wait 1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive? How about when your consumer grade touch panel dies from heat and vibration?
Imagine describing sitting in a parking lot watching YouTube in your car a "joyous experience".
Imagine being this eager to shit on someone else’s pleasure.

Really excited to finally get Spotify integration, that's huge. Also hoping they install WiFi at superchargers so you can watch youtube/Netflix while charging there. Not sure where else I'd use that feature.
My hope is that now that Spotify is available to Americans (where the people who develop the software are) the integration will no longer be total garbage. The Spotify integration in v9 is so non-functional for me that I just use Bluetooth. It seems to have zero ability to retry on network failure, and once it’s failed, it basically doesn’t work again on that trip unless you want to reboot the whole MCU. Another reas…

> I'd get one if I didn't have crushing doubt about their ability to service their cars. Or stay in business long-term. Are you serious? That false narrative fueled by FUD has been the talking point by short-sellers since 2008 (Only Tesla and Ford survived the 2008 market crash btw). It's now 2019 and you would think people would know any better.
False narrative? The "narrative" is their financial data. The fact that there is so much capital floating around to keep bad businesses afloat doesn't make them good businesses. I'm sure the shady silicon valley dealings are isolated to WeWork, even though Tesla is being sued for similar self-dealing. Good luck!

As strange as it is to a pedestrian such as myself, sitting in parking lots with the climate set to your liking, the doors locked, and a media on the screen, seems to be an increasingly popular past-time. I personally don't understand it, but cars selling to this use-case are seemingly more successful than cars that don't, and these parking lot homebodies are popping up more and more.

I challenge you to go to the teslamotorsclub.com forums or Reddit and poll ACTUAL users. You will quickly find that this is NOT the majority. I frequent those forums and most users are very satisfied with their cars.

There is clearly some dark art in accounting, but I don't think it's always because the companies are covering up bad business. It might be because they're trying to make as little taxable profit as possible.
