I don’t trust this report—and wouldn’t buy a Tesla in any case—but this would be quite the reversal. Maybe it would signal to others going down this path that they’re making a mistake.
Yet another reason to not trust GM with their commitment to do anything other than attempt to extract subscription dollars from people who buy their vehicles. They don’t care about their owners’ experience, they just want the money.
It’s a false premise that GM must offer either its “deeply integrated experience” OR CarPlay. GM doesn’t want to offer CarPlay next to their own experience, not because they can’t, but because they know that people want the apps that are on their phones, not GM’s.
I wasn’t in too much danger of buying a GM vehicle at this point, but this definitely kills even the remote chance that did exist.
I was a Honda fan when I was younger, and have owned 3 Hondas—my first new car was a Honda CRX that remember fondly. I credit Honda for my love of small, light, sporty cars. Sadly, Honda has lost that touch—the Civic is unrecognizably big. Let’s hope that this combo can make some interesting cars.
