I had only used CarPlay once in a rental prior to buying my Tesla. I don't feel like the infotainment thing in my Y is missing anything, but I also don't really know what I am missing out on.

What about CarPlay/Android Auto are you concerned about losing? I'm not trying to convince you that you don't need it, I just honestly don't know what I'm missing.

Maps/directions are much better than Tesla's. You have voice interface. Music (Apple/Spotify/etc) is much nicer - though they do have Apple Music and Spotify apps, it's easier to just control through my phone.

Most people consider their phone their digital life, so having the car entertainment system get out of your way and just integrate the car with the phone seems more natural.

How about all the apps that work with CarPlay (and have worked for years) that don't exist in Tesla's ecosystem.

Seeing as I have not used CarPlay, I am not sure what those apps are :). Which ones are most useful to you?

each of us has apps we like and Tesla only supports a few apps. Ex. I use YouTube music but tesla only supports Spotify and Apple Music.
