“Glitch”
We, by accident of course, planned, implemented, tested and released a feature to load and show ads on your car display. Could’ve happened to anyone…
Oopsie, can you please look away and pretend that we are trying to fix it?
“Unfixable glitch”, but you can have your ad-free vehicle for an easy $29.99/month (+ tip)
The pot getting turned up another degree.
Happy Accident.
Man late stage capitalism sucks.
If a car ever serves you an add while driving it’s your duty to crash the car and sue the manufacturer.
You must live forever my trusty 2006 Honda Element!
Found anyone that can fab trim panels? It’s getting difficult to keep the ol’ E in good visual shape.
If you are in dire need, and haven’t already, try finding a local salvage yard (junkyard, breakers yard, etc. depending on your location) and pulling the parts you need from there.
If only I could convert my trusty Saxo to electric car…
Not a single screen to be found! Just analog gauges and buttons as it should be.
Are they going to take the Amazon Kindle route? Pay one price for the car or pay a lower price for the car that shows you ads? Not that the car makers would use it to lower the price of the cars, but raise the price of ad-free cars I’m sure.
No, they won’t.
At best you’ll get some sort of nearly worthless concession because they have to slap in cellular hardware to make the ad bit work - something like you’ll get free traffic updates on your gps nav (sold seperately) - since they need some sort of enticement.
No way they’d offer anything remotely looking like a meaningful discount.
If I ever get a car with built in cellular like that it’s getting ripped out so fast.
That’s most modern cars these days.
The other thing I hate is the reverse lights going on when it’s put in park. They’re reverse lights.
That’s a GM thing, so other people notice your car and don’t speed past in parking lots.
Looks like we’re monetizing pedestrian fatalities now.
Stellantis are grade B cars, never buy a Stellantis.
Didn’t realize they’d gotten better.
More like F tier

At first it was two ads a year. This is only the beginning
Yeah, that’s a no from me dawg.
If a car has ads in it, I’m not buying it. If a car phones home and I can’t disable that, I’m not buying it.
We are no longer people just cash cows now.
