A social media star has revealed why she has traded her electric Tesla Model Y for a petrol-powered BMW X5.<\/p>\n
Meghan Husker regularly posts short videos about her life to her TikTok channel @meglskalla, occasionally looking at her car.<\/p>\n
In one of her videos, Meghan explained that she would often get frustrated with the infotainment system on the Tesla.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI thought I would miss the simplicity of the Tesla where it was just the screen and nothing else, but I love the dashboard and everything on the BMW, especially the Apple CarPlay because the Tesla didn\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, this is my CarPlay and, if anyone asks, I am a [Apple] Maps girl. I hated the map navigation system on the Tesla, I always got lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
