Would be nice if they offered an online calculator tool to help find which configuration of plans would save most. 

Yes please. The problem with super high quality episodic streaming is that it takes time. You can pump out a good-enough popular series every year like clockwork. But when you’re making a big budget movie in episodes you cannot while preserving what made it popular. I do have a suggestion. Instead of structuring the plot arc over an entire season with cliff-hanger ending each episode, break the entire season into three complete storylines. Loose ends can link each to the next as sequel driven movies do. This way they can get a complete product, albeit a shorter one, each year. This solves the problem of losing the thread. 

Wow, a whole scene! I know content and adoption are a chicken and egg thing, but I have had ready money since this product was released, and have been waiting ever since for things to watch before investing. Content in sufficient quantity is the killer app.

it is ludicrous for a car manufacturer to give Apple access to all its car systems, which will invariably lead to Apple becoming the gatekeeper to the entire tech stack of a car. This in addition to the branding impact. CarPlay is not the end of evolution, for example, the music app is well on CarPlay. Audi music controls are much better. 

Who said all? We’re talking about user-facing information systems. Car manufacturers have farmed out components and subsystems from day one. Brakes, batteries, transmissions, gauges, radios, generators, on and on. More to the point, putting Bose, Harmon-Kardon and many other name brand audio systems is a selling point. Why should this be any different?

They’re already to the point where I have to careful about holding it or picking it up to avoid invoking some touch screen command. I know, I’m “holding it wrong.” 😑
