After spending a very long time trying to find the perfect non-Tesla EV with both carplay, good range, cargo space etc… I gave up and “settled” for a Model Y LR. The software in a Tesla is just as good as Elon is bad. Not to turn this into an anti-Elon thing… But the software in the Tesla is really second-to-none, and more folks would find out if it weren’t for Elon.

I was in the same spot, decided to do a 3-year lease on a gas Mercedes while waiting for the US EV market to deliver the mythical "Tesla Y with Carplay and manual air conditioning grates". Hyundai Genesis is really close, needs a bit more baking.

It's not necessarily an Elon issue.

Elon was, for a long time, the genius billionaire who saves us from climate change and gets us to Mars, so even in liberal cycles he was liked until he bought Twitter (or until he became a sh1tposter on Twitter).

Some people just like the software, some don't. Me personally, find it way too much, too complicated and I am not going to control my AC over touch screen, sorry.
