Right, because those vendors were smart enough to add support for Android auto and carplay and leave it to Google and apple.

I have a model y on order, but if they can't figure out infotainment soon I'll likely cancel it. I spend way too much time driving to deal with garbage infotainment.

I wonder if they can just run CarPlay/Android Auto in a VM and display it on 1/2 the screen?

Both of those already are VMs, running on QNX hypervisor. It should be pretty trivial for them to add it if they chose to.

And those other cars also have postage stamp sized displays that don't let you watch Netflix nor Hulu nor live tv. Nor do they allow steering wheel integration to racing games.

Since I spend exactly 0 hours a day sitting in my car doing nothing, Netflix an Hulu aren't on my list of useful features.

If for some reason I'm not driving and I'm still sitting in the car, I'm probably on a conference call.

They're pushing these because they need you to feel like you're covered during recharging time on longer trips.
