Is this really a surprise? There are physical realities, and a single company can't suddenly reinvent a century of industry experience with some Silicon Valley pixie dust and government subsidies. Tesla, like many startups, is just rediscovering what it takes to build a car and what other companies have already figured out. Bringing a new drivetrain is not enough.

My last two new ICE cars had horrible infotainment that crashed constantly, loose fits, and an interior that rattles until it drives one to violence. I'd say they are competing on even grounds here.

Aren't everybody using android auto (or its Apple equivalent) these days anyway?

The builtin infotainment system is usually just a second thought that exist just to showcase something in the showroom and setup android auto at first use.

Own a Dacia. At least when it breaks the parts are cheap :) New wing mirror cost me £25!

I owned almost a dozen Dacia's, but not the Logan. I never got to a car shop for any repairs until I had one with warranty, otherwise I was doing all the repairs on my own, including engine rebuilds and even a chassis swap (brand new car totalled in a crash, bough a new chassis and swapped every single part to it). So, labor was cheap, parts were cheap, cost of ownership was cheap :)

Sounds like you are not valuing your time.

What government subsidies has Tesla received to date? Please post links to sources.

Sofar I've owned 4 Tesla cars and never had any serious issues that were not addressed immediately. My current Model Y had a cracked roof, they replaced the glass within a couple or hours. Here in The Netherlands inspections are mandatory for all cars every 1/2 years. I've noticed the tires may not be as durable as they should be but no idea how they stack up against another EV. Anything you use and use a lot needs m…

n=1

Well, N=4 in this case. But sure its no research

Infotainment is not a cars purpose but an addition. If you need to play video games and watch Netflix then you should not be driving.

I would like a map that is up to date and has a good UX. Spotify and podcasts. Voice controls that allow me to hear and speak text messages. Basic stuff, impossible for Volkswagen. EDIT: I agree with the replies that say this should be handled by CarPlay/Android Auto. In which case I’d like my cars software to support that well. EDIT2: Oh and there has to be an api where the car shares charge state and range estimate…

I'd like a dumb screen that mirrors my phone, and my phone can take care of all of that. Android Auto is what I want.

Picking VW as an example for Infotainment is the equivalent of picking Tesla for reliability: a way to show how not to do it.

I can vouch that Dacia or Renault is not any better and serve as a pure gateway to Apple Carplay.

Wow I love traditional automakers!!

It's not like TomTom or a phone with Google Maps on it can't scratch that itch.

Unlike Spotify, car radio does not need subscription nor account.
