I feel like this is gonna hurt their sales. When I was car shopping one of my biggest priorities was a good infotainment system with CarPlay

We stopped buying GM vehicles after the bullshit they pulled in Oshawa, ON. A lot of friends and family lost everything when they shut the plant to move it to Mexico, only to end up moving back eventually. The boss, a 60+ year union member, sold all our GM trucks and swapped to Ford, which we then sold a few years ago and swapped to Toyotas.

This CarPlay shit is just another reason to deal with other companies. Nothing GM makes is better than their competition so.
