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.

Did you get the update last night on your 3/Y and if so have you tried Tron mode yet? I didn’t have time today to fool with it.

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)

This morning on my way to work I watched a Camry try to play with an Ioniq 5. Pretty amusing, but not for the Camry

You know as well as we do that nobody wants to hear the noises a Camry makes. An LC500, a 911, an M3...different story.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…my friend (fellow Tesla owner) who I’ve shared with some of the stuff posted on here, told me there’s a Elon burner account on this forum.

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.

And that's all that matters.
When I'm driving it's all about me, me, me.

And don't touch my radio dials! 😁 📣
Don't like it? Walk, lol
