I was hesitant buying my Tesla this year (first one) as I really liked having CarPlay in my prior car (Jeep). But after having it a while, it's really a non-issue. The Tesla Apple Music app is pretty good. Their maps and navigation is pretty good (and integrated with FSD). And I can easily just use the bluetooth connection for a couple other minor things I occasionally use.

I’ll start off by saying that the model Y is one of the best mid-level cars I’ve driven so the issues I mention below are worth the tradeoffs to me.

In my experience, Tesla navigation can be pretty bad when navigating my large urban city. During peak traffic times it often tries to send me down roads that are notoriously known for traffic backing up. Most times when I end up following those suggested routes, my ETA essentially becomes meaningless.

I’ve found Google, Waze, and Apple maps to be a lot better in this respect.

I do miss having CarPlay. That’s not to say I think the music integration you mentioned is bad, but I find the overall UI in my model Y to be a bit confusing - and the lower icons seem to sometimes randomly change from what I have them set as.

Same. I love the tesla model y, but it's not perfect. The screen UI is pretty good for the most part, enough that I don't think about carplay too often.

But I do tend to stream audio from my phone more than from the tesla UI, and so I do miss carplay when I think about it.

I got a loaner with fsd and tried it out.

There was this one trip I took to a store and for some reason, the nav route detoured off the road to the next street over, then joined back with the route.

I think this is a thing nav systems do and people just ignore it and go the right way.

except the tesla tried to drive the dumb route.
