These tires made that go away. When you stop it does not rock back and forth, there is one dip then it levels. When you make sharp right turn it does not rock when you turn back straight. When you go over a bump it can jarr/rattle like a truck. Itās actually a bit too stiff now.
When you said "resolution" I thought you were talking about the pixel density of the screen. I now think you are talking about how far you can zoom into a map. That is all software dependent and decided by whomever provides the map. For satellite imagery, many map companies put restrictions on zoom due to privacy concerns. But that can change at any time and has nothing to do with Ford Nav. If you are just talking about line maps, I can zoom pretty far in Apple Maps, way beyond anything practical.
The tesla's are definitely a harder ride, are hard to decrease road friction.
You are correct, I'm not talking about DPI of the LCD panel.
I did say the processor should have been more powerful and in no way am I letting Ford off the hook. I agree there is a lot of improvements needed. But... I feel you are also accentuating the issue. You are taxing it when the system is booting up where as it looked like the Tesla one was already up and running. Unless my truck and/or my phone is aberration, I don't experience anything close to your video. First off, I don't have to select my phone like you did in the first part. I do get that phone list screen for a second but then it just automatically connects and puts me right into CarPlay without any interaction. I have never rushed into my truck and taxed it that way, so I can't deny that's how it will react. But from almost a year of use, I have never experienced anything like that. My system is much more fluid, I have no problems typing, and the zooming and rotating are smooth. What phone are using? Maybe that has something to do with it. I will try to see if I can replicate that lag the next time I get into my truck, but that is not representative of what I experience at all.
Iām using a 13 Pro. Most of the time it does not ask to connect to the phone, but the lag to connect to Carplay is about the same. The Tesla is always like that. As soon as you open the door it is on. I gave it no advantage. The AC is on, you can enter a destination. You can select songs from youtube. 0 delay. I am the delay. The Lightningās blower/volume/menus do not even start until Iāve cleared the garage. At least you can drive immediately. The nav/menu in the Lightning is always like that. Almost 0 chance of using it while driving other than voice, but if you are looking for traffic or where itās navigating 20 miles out you canāt because itās so slow. If I did not have the Tesla I would accept it as normal because GM is worse. The Chinese are killing it though. Every one of them has Tesla level software.
You'll like the truck but you might hate the software.
The apps are not running on the Ford's processor, they're running on the phone's processor and being projected to the SYNC4 system's screen. This should be putting very little demand on the Ford's infotainment system. There is lag introduced through the screen projection and relay of touch input back to the phone, but the heavy lifting is being done by the phone. The wake-up could be amplifying the sluggishness a little when first entering the Lightning, but dww is absolutely correct, he didn't stage the Tesla, that is how they always operate. Even in my older 2021 MYP with the underpowered Intel Atom infotainment processor, the ability to start changing settings and entering a destination is virtually instantaneous. My wife's 2023 MYLR is even faster and more responsive with its AMD Ryzen processor. In the Teslas, the onboard processor is doing all of the work as opposed to the phone. In fact, you need no phone to get these features in the Tesla, it's all built in.
Good to know about them both not having to boot up. I did know that CarPlay was just a projection and using the phone's processor and that's why I was surprised to see it so laggy. I finally had a chance to replicate what Dww did in his video and my experience is not even remotely close to what he is experiencing. As stated, CarPlay automatically connects. My typing is instantly responsive, I can drag around, zoom in and zoom out smooth as butter. It's not like I have the latest iPhone either. I have a 14pro which is just one year newer than his. I now understand why there are differing opinions of how okay the nav is. I definitely would not be okay with what Dww showed but I am perfectly happy with my system. The various ages and compute power of phones is a drawback of using the phone as a processor but on the other hand, every time you upgrade your phone, you get a faster processor.
