- Recently I got to try a Tesla for the first time but still in 2024 they refuse to include Apple CarPlay in any of their models. However there is a very good reason which directly involves your experience in the car...

I love Mercedes infotainment, namely MBUX. The native 3D augmented reality for navigation is absolutely priceless.
I agree
@@Black_Benz2023 I agree with both of you. I appreciate the voice activation in particular. I don't know why Tesla didn't go with a heads-up display.
I’m trying to love on my new (to me) EQS, but I just find it a bit…busy and find myself switching back to Waze on the main central screen and MB nav on the screen in front of me. So a compromise I guess.
@@Nutorious007 tesla believe their current cars…and the last version and the one before that will be autonomous so features like hud and decent wipers will be obsolete so no point in having them. It all falls apart when the autonmy dream doesn’t happen. Also love my merc eqe voice system as unlike tesla it is reliable with australian accents.
Great video! love it! A question for you: now that your iphone is not connected to Model Y, how will you answer a call from your iphone?
Thank you! It still is, but it’s just connected via Bluetooth. So you can still play music over Bluetooth and accept calls, but Tesla’s in built apps have Apple Music or Spotify and of course maps which are done very well!
Great Video, I wish my Mercedes had the streamlined console. Love the 2 wireless charge pads that are front and center. Also hate the cupholders compared to the sturdy ones shown in the video, and my past Ford and Hyundai, but I do love my Mercedes. I don't use carplay, never have. My Iphone connects bluetooth, and I am old school with USB drive with my music. Never a glitch. Thanks for the insight into another manufacturer.
Thank you! 🙏 glad you enjoyed the video!
Yeah definitely the wireless chargers are great!
No worries! Hopefully more videos like this soon, but don’t worry I’ve got some Mercedes videos lined up too as well!
Brilliant as usual, Nick. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I mostly miss having a Cloud/Dropbox Music Player in my Tesla infotainment. In my former car I could use CloudBeats right on the car screen. Playing the Logic Pro mix I started bouncing before leaving home 10 minutes ago...
Haha that sounds cool! 😎
Great content Nick, however you didn’t show the Theatre mode which has Netflix and Disney apps , very useful when going for a longer charge or keeping the kids and me happy when doing school pick ups or waiting around for long periods. Also the sound system is very very good.
Thank you! Yes I would loved to have shown more but only had the car a week but…there’ll be more Tesla content coming soon! 😜
Glad you enjoyed the video! Didn’t know about the Disney apps that’s good!
Excellent and very helpful. I wanted the Model Y but relying on the centre screen put me off (maybe it’s my age!).
Honestly, just try it
It’s a lot easier than you think.
Interfaces are one thing I always look for in a car, and everything is super simple to use and intuitive which is what you need when on the road. Simplicity is key!
Hi Nick “off topic” but I’ve heard that with the latest Mercedes MBUX update, the built in Dashcam feature now starts recording automatically (if you’ve paid for the feature) - are you able to confirm this?….I have a 3 year old eClass Estate - Cheers
Ah I made a video in January about it, sadly no it doesn’t start recording automatically.
In certain countries it does though but I haven’t had a software update come through for my car or anything so I don’t believe so
It records automatically in australia@@npoleary
Could you make a little video on apple podcasts app in tesla because the Bluetooth bit doesn’t have the ability to select episodes in ascending date order like most vw group and meec cars. Thanks
Possibly! Sadly I only had it for a week
But I am hoping to get a Tesla again in the future!
Do you know if there are any restrictions on the software when you’re leasing? Is it still possible to update to the latest versions?
Software updates always come through to the cars 🤓
Of course you can update while leasing!
@@npolearyok thanks. I’d read there were at least some restrictions, depending on whether the lease company treats the car as theirs in terms of setup (so you have to contact them to subscribe to optional software/features).
Most often you can get the car’s app registered to you. Many dealers will give you a hand and may need to see a V5 document and proof of ID. In the case of leasing you usually won’t have a V5 so something to prove you’re using it for the lease will do like a delivery note.
Sometimes you can do it yourself but I guess it depends on the lease company’s terms so you’ll have to check with them to be sure.
I’ve never known it not to be okay though!
I have tried the Model 3 Highland and to be honest it just clicked and made sense. As you say Car Play is not needed and thanks for showing as I hadn't known many of the apple apps were alse available within the system. I even found the lack of stalks a non issue. Also to me looking at the road and then glancing at the sat nav, where I can also see my speed was more sense. Saved the extra step of looking in front of me at the speed, as you would do on all other non Teslas.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 🤓
Yeah their system is good that you don’t need CarPlay. Hope to test some more in the future!
Hi Nick, I do like your videos, simple and straight to the point. Having test driven the 2024 model Y quite recently, I couldn't agree with you any less on this. In my view, for the fact that you have noticed this shows me how analytical and intelligent you are... tried my apple music and found the seamless connection super easy to use. Their SatNAV were also great. Agree with you a 100%
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Well I always try and put myself in someone else’s shoes and I like to think of both view points from either side.
I do love Apple products so always gravitate toward Apple CarPlay, but Tesla’s integration is very good it’s almost not needed.
need gto test drive oine ... wonder how long you can keep the car for
Do it! 🤓
Make sure you plan the test drive so that you can try it on a road trip away. Ideally we’re you’ll need to charge it too and you’ll see how seamless it is
Nick,On a wee bit of a different subject,for the price point of the Tesla,do you not think the interior quality doesn't reflect the cost?
I hope to cover this in future videos! Excellent question, I mean on the car I drove (first time reviewing a Tesla) it was really good. I think people would be very surprised.
I have however read all sorts of comments online good and bad about Tesla but there again, I’ve read the same on other manufacturers too.
I think most will be pleasantly surprised though of how good it is!
@@npoleary My friend has a new Tesla, white with white leather interior,looks great from a distance but up close it's a bit disappointing,very uneven panel gaps all round & although it's very clutter free inside,it doesn't feel like an £80k car,my partners Merc A250 AMG has a higher quality interior,saying that,the Tesla is breathtakingly fast!😊
Nick,
You are always very positive in your reviews (I guess that’s your nature😀), but it would be helpful if you gave the top three things that you didn’t like or annoyed you. It can’t all be good all of the time!
Regards Mike
Absolutely! I’ll be covering Tesla’s more in the future and as I cover more brands I’ll start to compare more over time for sure
Problem is unless you own for a while you wont find the problems, like bug filled constant incessant updates to fix the last bug fix update, a frustratingly useless tacc, hopeless wipers, and a voice system that is designed by an amateur. As a tesla and eqe owner the eqe is just on another level comparedto the overhyped tesla@@npoleary
Great video. Did you have time to test the voice commands in Tesla? I use them daily, and always when I need to navigate somewhere - just say “navigate to ” and you are done…
Sadly no I didn’t but I hope to cover some more Tesla content soon! 🤓👍🏼
I do think thats a big omission from this video, carplay isnt just about spotify or apple music, its a huge part of the integration for voice control over your phone for making calls and sms without having to touch anything. Im starting my research about Tesla and this is something Im currently trying to track down info on
True…but I’m fairly certain that the reason they don’t have it is because for the average person who’s jumping into an electric car for the first time will most likely connect CarPlay if they have used it before. The problem being is that it will ruin your experience in a Tesla. You won’t be able to search for charge points, you won’t be able to precondition the battery when going to one, you also won’t have EV optimised routes with what your range will be when you get there and probably a few more points too that I haven’t thought of.
@@npoleary Guess it depends on the use case. I obviously dont have the numbers, but i would think the majority of tesla owners would be those doing routine drives/commuting/normal use on roads they know vs a smaller number trying to use Tesla's to travel distance. Which would mean normal functionality would have been a better focus. But id say its also a deeper strategic decision not to use the normal services. Not a problem though, appreciate the video. Going to test one this weekend but seems like so many simple normal driving functions are inhibited by their desire to remove all the buttons and i think that will get my goat too much to go this way
I can see it, they look daunting to a lot of people I get it. But having used two now, the screen is just so easy to use and customisable
I have it on my EQE. Hardly use it tbh. Have both Spotify and Apple Music as apps now in MBUX 2.4 and even TH-cam. Plus the MBUX navigation helps me with charging and knows the car battery SoC so have no need for Google maps or Apple Maps.
That is a very good point and something that I will be incorporating into future EV videos which is the multimedia system experience when it comes to charging (Mercedes me Charge / Tesla Superchargers)
SOC will most likely never work with Apple Maps so an in built sat nav is your best bet for EV’s
Do you happen to know if Tidal is available as a native MBUX install?
@@PrivateHireGuy Tidal is available ☺️
Yes i use it. Tricky to find but it is there
I’ve got a video on the Entertainment Package lined up soon. (Actually on holiday at the moment but the TH-cam videos will continue uninterrupted! Worked super hard to keep that weekly schedule going automatically while I’m away)
Any questions, comment on the videos or email me and I’ll get back to you 🤓👍🏼
You forgot to mention that yhe features uou highlightef are apart of a monthly subscription package apart from the automatic routing to superchargers
Hey yowatusaying, thanks for sharing! This is my first time reviewing a Tesla but yes I presumed there would be a data charge. If you’re streaming music from a device, whether that be a smartwatch, smartphone or car, they’ll always be a cost element involved.
@@npoleary you make good great videos, been following you for a few years now.
Unless AA or Car play is the native system then it will not be a cohesive experience with all the cars functions. Can do test a Polestar to experience Android automotive, android's version of a built in car infotainment system
Yeah i noticed that in a Volvo once that had native Android in there. Pretty cool!
Ah thank you glad you enjoy the videos!
Yeah could do, I did reach out to Volvo once several times but heard nothing back, might try Polestar in the future somewhen!
Elon be like... "Apple? Who is Apple? Also never heard of Disney and Google"
Hi Nick, Seen the news 4/3/24. The motor vehicle test organisation are calling for an investigation into the use of tablet style information systems, regarding the lack of physical switches and controls citing the up to 40 seconds it can take to navigate the screen,
I saw that yesterday too! Saw an article about it
About time too! There’s a lot of touchscreens in cars sometimes in unnecessary places like climate control.
What about Waze? Shows speed traps
Yeah true! 🙏
I don’t think I could get used to continuously looking to the left to see my speed or follow my tachometer. Taking your eyes off the road seems dangerous. My Mercedes-Benz has both the right portion of the MBUX screen right in front and head up display to make it even safer.
Yeah I thought that straight away (trust me I like familiarity in cars so anything that’s a big change, I often think twice about! 😅)
But genuinely I got used to it pretty quickly, in fact I even glanced to the left when I got back in my car. I’d describe it as muscle memory (in the eyes 😂) it didn’t take long to adjust.
Head up display would be cool though!
@@npoleary thanks for that. What do you think about the overall lux feel and of course the finish quality?
It’s really good I think people would be surprised by how good it was.
However…this is my first review of a Tesla, so I’ll test a few more, drive a few more cars first before I make a video about that topic 🙏
But on this car I drove it was great! 😊 👍🏼
@@npoleary I watched a couple of videos of a 2019 and 2021 A200 (1.33L) on the autobahn at only 5K RPM and 10K more to go to the red. It easily got to 230km/hr. The little Benz is no slouch.
As an ex-Tesla owner I totally get why CarPlay is unnecessary for Tesla. The interface is amazing, rapid and puts CarPlay to shame. I loved the sat nav and tidal audio integration. My new Mercedes is very good but if still feels generations behind Tesla. Even the older portrait screens. It’s clunky and not as clear for sat nav, the tidal integration is pretty poor too. I’ve had to fall back to CarPlay (not ideal)
Yes! I knew that Tesla’s integrations were good but I didn’t realise they were that good!
It’s almost like, oh they don’t have CarPlay…but hang on they have Google Maps, they have Apple Music, they have Spotify. You don’t need CarPlay! 😜
They dont have apple car play because elon refuses to accept apple products. He has made it very clear
But it has access to Apple Music
So android also? No, they simply don't need it. As was said in the video, it's simply better. Integrated, native for the car itself.
@@GregySVKyes, it just needs an app store. Needs more variety of apps.
@@gabrielmoralesvelez what do you miss exactly? Except Waze maybe.
A thing I hate about Apple Music on Tesla is that for long playlists it breaks them down into playlists with less songs. So unless you change the “page” you’re always listening to the same subset of songs.
Ah okay that’s good to know, thanks for sharing!
There is missing more navigation apps as factory default from tesla is not as good compare Waze . If will be possible install apps than all that is solved.
The navigation from Tesla is Google Maps, which own Waze so Google themselves run it. The only difference with Waze is that there’s the community reporting function which is amazing.
The huge downside of a 3rd party app like that is that it would hinder your experience with an EV. This would mean, no pre-conditioning for the battery, no searching for charge points etc
If Tesla were able to, chatting with Google to implement a “Waze like interface” as an option that offers the same functionality would go down very well for Tesla owners! I’d use it for sure when I have one!
@@npoleary I can imagine that this feature to implement should be maybe paid one over actual subscription to pay extra 2 € for Waze and than Elon will be happy. It is just that looks like that no one in Tesla really watch that from 3rd side perspective to have some bigger picture how users wanna use Tesla car.
No audible speed camera alerts unfortunately and no ability to add live issues such as police, accident, roadworks, traffic etc.
True…however Google Maps uses such a sophisticated system that sources data from everyone (if you have the app installed).
One person demonstrated this before but using a wheelbarrow full of Android phones and wheeled it onto a bridge in London. Within 2 minutes, it highlighted there was traffic on the bridge (because of the amount of phone stationary in one place on the road) and started rerouting everyone nearby around 😂
But yes you’re right a feedback tool to report items would be good 👍🏼
Well, instead of spending 44B in X he could have partnered with Apple and Google to match screen size and integrate according to screen requirements.
He could but then it wouldn’t work with superchargers. Apple have an unbelievable strict criteria for CarPlay. I’ve read some of the documents and icon size, to button placement, they control a lot of that interface and only allow certain apps.
Sadly CarPlay can’t read an EV’s state of charge on the battery which technically would mean the ownership experience would be worse as it wouldn’t precondition the battery or even show you the chargers and the most optimum route.
Sorry but CarPlay is superior for accessing multiple apps. I don’t use Spotify. Apple Music is better on CarPlay. I also use Overcast for podcasts. The Bluetooth interface has no way of accessing and changing songs or podcasts you have to pickup the phone to make changes.
I love CarPlay but Tesla offers more than Bluetooth. If they just offered Bluetooth on its own then I would have structured this video very very differently.
Their multimedia system has apps already built in like Apple Music & Spotify which are completely graphical as shown in the video.
Watch the video all the way through and you’ll see 😅
The Tesla interface is so much better than the Mercedes NTG 7, with Mercedes i basically have to use android auto. In Australia, Mercedes Australia have chosen to make it even worst by removing the most basic of functions such as the online music, incar office ect.
I wouldn’t say it’s that Mercedes have removed it, it’s just that specs vary through availability and markets throughout the world. I wish it was all the same!
There’s features that aren’t in the UK that I wish I had on my car, and then likewise specs in other countries that don’t exist there. Hopefully overtime it normalises itself!
I love and have Apple products, but absolutely do not like Apple Play and never use it. I prefer MBUX and the in-car nav. Tesla software looks amazing and very intuitive, and definitely more advanced than AP.
Not convinced with what this video claims. Just running a simple search on Google Map and Tesla Navigator will reveal Google Map returns much better restuls.
Basically that you don’t need CarPlay
Apple CarPlay although very good, Tesla’s software is so good that it makes it literally not needed.
Any questions, message me back! 🤓👍🏼
CarPlay has APIs for all those things you mentioned (fining Superchargers, pre-heating) but the manufacturer needs to write to them. Tesla has done a very good job with their software but they are one of the few - most infotainment systems are terrible, and obsolete the day they come out. But I will never get a car without buttons for the climate control, mirrors or turn signals.
Yeah true…
The one I had (the Model Y) did have traditional buttons for turn signals. Climate control was digital, but for the most part all I had to do was change the climate control by a degree or two as it was smart enough to do the rest 👍🏼
My condolences, Nick. I know sitting in this "minimalistic" vehicle must be a letdown compared to your new Mercedes. Tesla may excel in the infotainment area but that's where it ends.
It’s interesting to see how other manufacturers design and implement their tech in their cars.
Have you driven one? You must give it a shot if you haven’t.
@@npoleary I actually have. Couldn't get over the fit & finish, or lack thereof, considering the price. I also prefer the sound of an engine. The Model S felt like a toy. A superfast toy but a toy nonetheless.
Apple was (until only a few days ago) going to make its own electric car to rival Tesla. That's why, IMO.
Yeah I heard that too! Although I’ve seen patents online that Apple have for tech that they’re all testing and making so we’ll have to see what they bring out next! 🤓👍🏼
I’ve heard rumours they’re working on Siri this year (overdue I’d say!)
"It has it's own dataplan"... that's the trick, isn't it? Tesla wants you to pay double, for the things you have already paid for. I just want the content from my iPhone in my car and use the data plan that I've already paid for. No reason to squeeze my wallet. GM it trying it as well, and it's not going to work.
Most car manufacturers have this sort of concept these days (new ones anyway) however I appreciate that others do allow CarPlay.
Just Pros and Cons I guess, however huge major downside with CarPlay is the lack of charging integration with the car.
Apart from that, CarPlay is amazing, I use it every single journey!
Another reason I refuse to buy Tesla
What do you use CarPlay for? 👍🏼
Tesla cars are the biggest con of all time, they are ugly cars to start with, batteries are the biggest issue. How long the they last, what happens if you want to sell the car in 5 to 10 years. You cannot trade them in, you cannot get a bank loan to buy one. To replace a battery if virtually impossible and will cost an absolute fortune. If everyone bought a battery car as most world Governments want you to do by 2035, where is all the power going to come from to charge the batteries. Has anyone actually thought this through. In America sales of electric cars have gone backwards.The biggest con job of the 21st century.
