You guys don’t have to care. Not every discussion in this forum involves you. I responded to patglim’s BT issue he was having with my own issue I have been having and Jill responded to me with a question. Doesn’t involve you guys.
I use both. I use the MB’s native navigation most of the time and its native audio setup because the audio quality is much better. When it comes to using the phone for calls or texts I use CarPlay because it just works much better.
In the Pacifica we only use CarPlay.

I actually got it a couple of updates back that gave me Tron mode. I did get an update I want to say Monday, but I think that is FSD v14. Haven't played with it yet (Tron mode)

Well of course, people enjoy hearing their own performance car. Not worried about what other people hear.
Nothing wrong with not liking that sound, but nothing wrong with liking it either.

I'm more interested in seeing the look on the faces when their loud performance car gets owned by an appliance. Otherwise, I want quiet, smooth instant torque, power on demand when I need it

Can’t speak for everybody but I wouldn’t care. I don’t care how fast a car is, I’ve never participated in any kind of acceleration contest. I just enjoy the characteristics of a performance ICE car in that context.
Everyday car, luxury car, bring on the EVs but when it comes to a performance car I want an engine. It’s like the people that make fun of the LC for not being as fast as something else. It’s not at all about being fast.
