Exactly.Since you use Spotify It works fine for you. But what about people who use a different service? For example, I use Apple Music. Tesla is an awful experience, to people like me, because they don’t work with my chosen services.
CarPlay is a solution that delivers customers choice and high quality, while being easy for the auto manufacturers to implement.
Let me know when I can use Waze, Apple Music, my 3rd party podcast app, and pressing the voice assistant button in the car activates Siri instead of Alexa.
You do all those then I'll stop bitching at you about avoiding CarPlay. That is... until the next favorite app that support CarPlay enters my life. Then you'll be behind again.
It's all just software, but Rivian can either:
1 - Write a little bit of software - once - that let's any user do whatever they want.
2 - Try writing a lot of software to handle all things for all users, but never come anywhere close to succeeding even after putting in non-stop effort.
