Tons of hate in here, and yet the same people complaining about the lack of AA or ACP don't bring up the same complains with Tesla or Rivian or Lucid or a few other brands that don't support it.
I've seen plenty of complains about Tesla not supporting android auto
Because this thread is specifically about the escalade not having it.
Perhaps because there are bigger complaints to be made about those brands.
I do. There are a few things that prevent me from ever considering a Tesla, and Android Auto is one of them.
Personally, Tesla's support for phone connections doesn't even come into play because there's plenty of other technical and administrative reasons to avoid them.
Also, based on descriptions of AA I'm seeing in this thread, it sounds like I'd rather just continue hooking up my phone's audio to my car's sound system and mounting it on the dash than use AA.
GM's alternative solution doesn't interest me whatsoever and it wouldn't surprise me if it comes with a horrible UX as most companies that make something else but try to also make software suck at it and include other BS meant to make them money rather than improve the experience. It will add no value to me but I'm sure it will add to the cost.
