Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I think those massive tablets on these cars with all the touch buttons are very dangerous. I like an “entertainment system” that only connects to my phone with either a headphone jack of or Bluetooth. It’s a car, not a PC.

    Tasker.

    When my phone is connected to the audio system in my car, any texts that come in are automatically read aloud.

    In my experience, android auto has always been a flaky nightmare.

      Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

        Ah, yeah, I don’t have that problem. If I have someone in the car, I just turn on the radio instead of the Bluetooth.

        But, I could pop up what tasker calls a “scene” when a text comes in, which would ask me if I wanted it read.
