I am also in this camp. As soon as GM announced they weren’t going to support CarPlay, I scratched GM off of the list.

Ford Mach E it was then.

GM objectively makes the best American cars and it's not even close, even despite this.

C8 corvette has been car of the year since 2020 and will remain that way until the C9.

I agree, I want one. But not without CarPlay. Ford it is until then.

I thought I would be okay and bought a GM. I regret it because of the lack of android auto.

I hope you made your dissatisfaction known. Otherwise I’m sure they see your purchase as a success, validating your decision. Make sure they know you’ll never by another GM car.

What makes you think they would care? If they cared they wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

They will care of sales slump and the feedback they are getting is all asking for CarPlay/Android Auto.

Even Tesla said they started working on CarPlay support when their sales started to suffer for unrelated reasons.

You said “let them know after you already bought it” - again, why would they care?

They do care about future sales. Not only you, but the people you’re going to tell to stay away from them because of this.

There is no useful way to complain to GM.

However making sure everyone knows on various forums is a much more powerful way in the long run. It will take more time, but I'm not alone.
