Yes, as far as I know it just backs up the system and user files.

I mean, I get that Microsoft is trying to compete with MacOS and its Time Machine software, but why not just start from there and add the other bits as optional to the user? lol

How long do we reckon until they figure out the decryption keys and Switch 2 games become piratable on stock hardware?

The issue is that the alternatives generally aren’t that much better in a vacuum. Infotainment vs Tesla infotainment (removing the CarPlay merits): It’s not even close. Tesla is like 10-15 years ahead of everything else on the US market in their price range. Car manufacturers famously lock in their tech and designs something like 3 years before public release.

Will there be meaningful software updates for your Kia EV6 in 2028? Absolutely not, no way.

Do you want to tow anything more than 1000Kg? Good luck outside of Tesla.

NACS? Not one single other car available yet.

Do you want a dashcam? Rivian is the only other brand, IIRC.

I’m not apologizing for Tesla, but it’s really painful how awful all other cars are compared to the competition.

Everyone forgets where the German cars, Henry Ford, etc came from politically.

I was looking into my first EV, and politics just didn’t weigh that much into the decision. Now, the “infotainment as a perpetual service”, that turned me off and away from Tesla. With CarPlay my car dash will never lose service, and will always be free to use with updates from Apple/Google. I can’t imagine why people would ever pay for their infotainment when CarPlay is better or equal in all cases to the alternative.

That said, if Tesla and other brands were equally weighted in my purchase decision, I’d then happily rule Tesla out based on merit.
