Is no CarPlay / AA a deal breaker for you ???

Shopping for a new vehicle at the moment. I recently went to test drive the Chevy Equinox EV, which I’d heard great things about (I know someone who has it, yet they neglected to mention this) and looks great. I was driving it, enjoying it so much, loving the smooth ride and the infotainment. I pulled over and decided to see how seamless its wireless CarPlay was, only to find it didn’t have CarPlay. I quickly rushed to Reddit and found that NO new-gen GM EVs (except the Honda Prologue) have CarPlay. I’ve been a faithful Chevy buyer since 2017, and I wanted to buy my first Chevy EV (I don’t want a Bolt, it’s too small / not fast enough charging), but this just makes it impossible! My friend claims she doesn’t mind no CP, but I was very underwhelmed by GM’s system when I tested it. No thanks!

CP is a MUST for me. I can’t imagine work and commuting without it. It’s why (beyond the myriad of other reasons, one rhyming with schmazi), I’ve never supported Tesla. I love Rivian, but I’m even hesitant to buy one of those knowing they don’t use it. They’re gonna have to pry CarPlay from my cold dead hands.

Is it just me? Is no CP/AA a deal breaker for anyone else??
