Must have a faster CPU than my Polestar, where Android Automotive runs like a first-gen Android tablet, it's awful

It's actually quite fluid and mostly lag-free.

I've dealt with a lot of cheap android devices over the years, and GM did a good job with this one. It kind of sucks knowing that they could flip a switch and turn on AA/CarPlay, though.

Maybe the CPU is regular speed but it seems slow compared to how fast your Polestar is :)

Those are sweet

Yes, yet somehow with over a year of ownership I have not had one stoplight race. I don't even need to go over the speed limit... I can do 0-50km/hr faster than a Corvette and that's sufficient demonstration for me... but without the ability to rev an engine nobody feels threatened enough to engage.

Either that or everyone's just too engrossed in their phone to consider their ego at the stoplight anymore. I should have just bought a minivan, cars are over

Golden age of drag racing was when cars were simple and teenagers rebuilt their own engines, blueprinted everything, added some custom mods, and then raced each other.

Nowadays with automatic transmissions and EVs, you just buy something and step on a pedal, that's not much of a sport.
