Tesla continues to rank above average.
For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

I travel for work and thus rent a lot of cars. Can confirm there are far too many options. What's worse is that new cars don't have an option for the USB to type C. It's just type C to C, which is a cord that almost no one owns. Why not have both in the cars!! Bur yeah the new cars all do something a bit different in annoying ways.
FYI: My favorite vehicles. 1 Honda Civic, 2 Kia Soul.
Why have both in cars? A car is expected to last 10, 15 years at least and C to C is already starting to become the new standard. I feel like if you buy a car, you can probably buy a phone cord for it...
This. Type C has been getting very popular since around 2016. Every phones cord is type C for few years now. Personallt I wish to never see the USB A type port again in antthing I purchase. Especially an expensive car. It is obsolete tech.
*most smart phones…
Thats true. But does your phones connectivity with a car matter at all if it isnt ”smart”?
lol - I was thinking iPhones which are still USB C <-> Lightening (at best), and not yet USB C<->C.
You can't even spell basic words and you're here giving people life advice?
You do realize that smartphone keyboards are fairly small and this isnt that serious of a forum to proof read for typos while sitting on a toilet? :D
I am totally on board with the C to C things.
And plenty of people own them... Apple has been shipping C to Lightning for a couple years now in the box. Androids have included a C to C cable.
C is supposed to be next gen USB. It's not just a new charger for phones, it is the new USB.
The type c to c is becoming quite common and even better, it can charge much, much faster. If you have such an issue when traveling, I'd suggest getting a small USB c to USB a adaptor. They are about the size of a quarter.
USB A is, in the tech world, an outdated standard that is being replaced. I actively try to have any device I purchase now only use type C. If I never see another micro USB port on my life, it will be too soon. Even Apple has started to embrace type C for their devices and the EU is forcing them to use type C on iphones in Europe.
I've gotten happier the more cars that I rent that have wireless chargers built in somewhere. It's especially nice not to have to worry about a cable at all anymore.
It's just type C to C which is a cord that almost no one owns.
Are you an Apple user by chance? Because USB-C to USB-C cables have been fairly common for several years... Except on the iPhone/iPad and even that's going to change soon.
