I'm a hard no because they will fall out of my ears.

Do customers really buy a car just for CarPlay support? That's backwards! Buy a car because the car is good, then figure out the audio system later. There are so many excellent aftermarket CarPlay solutions these days, and they're usually better than the OEM infotainment players. My car was built years before the iPhone existed, but I have installed a nice infotainment that can play a CD, a DVD, Bluetooth, AUX, CarPlay and it even has a USB-A slot so I can plug in a flash drive with movies/music. If you like a Buick but you don't like how how it doesn't have CarPlay, don't let that hold you back! You can always replace the factory infotainment with a better 3rd party option.

Yes they do, because I do. I will only buy a car that has Wireless CarPlay built-in. Your idea of buying an aftermarket system isn’t really workable because you end up losing too much functionality like back-up cameras, USB ports, and lots of other things that these infotainment systems provide. The aftermarket system will also provide most of the same functionality, but at a cost. You would have to use an aftermarket camera for example and an aftermarket USB port. In my opinion, it will be a worse experience compared to the factory locations. I would rather use the OEM cameras and the USB ports that come with the car.

My current car is a 2015 Honda (the year before CarPlay was offered). Normally, I like to keep my car for 15 to 20 years, But not this time. Honda just now switched to Wireless CarPlay and I want to upgrade soon before it’s too late. This next one should be my last ICE vehicle so hopefully I can keep it for the next 20 years. I was thinking about an electric car but there are not enough options yet and Tesla doesn’t have CarPlay. If they did offer it, then I would have definitely been planning on getting one this year. So far, no one seems to have caught up to Tesla in my opinion. And non Tesla chargers are total garbage. The main thing I hate about Teslas is the lack of an instrument panel. I really don’t feel comfortable buying a car without an instrument panel. I know logically that there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with the idea but I just prefer to see the information right in front of me instead of having to look at the screen on the right.

I was very disappointed with the overheating issues. As far as I’m aware of, every HomeKit Secure Video doorbell has overheating issues, without exception. I have the Logitech video doorbell and it didn’t last very long. I would like to find another HomeKit Secure Video doorbell but will wait until the overheating issue is resolved, which might not be anytime soon.

People seem to forget that the real enemy of our Capitalist society is the Communists, not just the CCP. Shifting from one Communist regime to another is not an answer to this idloglical devide 

Wrong. Our enemy should not be Communists. Why, exactly? Communism would be the opposite of Capitalism. With Communism, the state controls all businesses and there is no free enterprise. This does not accurately describe China or Vietnam. They both have Capitalism, Free Enterprise, Private Businesses, Private Property, etc. They are basically Communist in name only. The reason why China is a threat is because they have been stealing our Intellectual Property for decades and will become the dominate economic force in the world. They will overtake the U.S. it’s a fact. With all of this economic power, they have been steadily building up their military and will eventually at some point be the dominate military power. This will happen due to their population size after many decades of the West building them up economically. 

The reason why this is bad is because they are an Authoritarian country, and not a Democracy. If the UK or France were the dominate world power, then I wouldn’t be so worried. But China as the world power is very worrisome in my opinion. I feel like we made a huge mistake in building up China. Whether or not a country is Communist or Capitalist isn’t so important in my opinion. I don’t know why that would matter. What matters to me is whether the country is Authoritarian or a Democracy.
