    I’m not buying a car that relies on a subscription for navigation and lacks CarPlay

      Coming from CarPlay / Android auto land, I can’t get over how shitty Tesla’s voice control was. It makes Siri look good.

      I understand your second concern but your first is just wrong. The car only requires a payment for subscription to enable data services like cloud music and the navigation satellite maps are gated behind that. The navigation still works as normal without subscription otherwise but will only show a simple map without textures.

        He’s probably talking about FSD but that is not required for navigation. Also without premium connectivity, you don’t get live traffic displays. It still uses them for navigation, just doesn’t show the orange/red on the display.
