Brand new 2024 vehicle: I disabled all connectivity. No software updates, no remote start through their app, nothing; it will never connect to the internet. These greedy car and ad companies have lost the benefit of the doubt. Literally no amount of money will ever be enough for these giant corporations...

We need to tally up all the accidents and pedestrian hit-and-runs that occur involving cars with this “feature.” It would likely be enough of an increase you could reasonably make a class action lawsuit. I have no sympathy whatsoever for a car manufacturer that can’t get it through their heads that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents, and could easily happen by their own features.

Here's the source so you can see it for yourself. https://redlib.private.coffee/r/Charger/comments/1gq9nyf/ads_on_the_center_screen_now_thats_wild/?

I chose the right decade to give up driving.

I'd quit my job and start running the campaign for anyone who's willing to run on outlawing this shit. I'd work 75 hour weeks handing out fliers about distracted driving.

I would drive back to the seller istantly.

Car is mine. No internet connection if I don't won't, no data exchamge with the producer, nothing.

So... um... will the buyer get money from Dodge to drive this shit then?

That’s one way to increase running red lights.

Like that sounds like it should be banned by the ntsb or dot… oh wait they don’t exist anymore, or soon to be cut.

Tfw your car is trying to reach you about its own extended warranty

If you've bought any Stellantis Fiat Chrysler Dodge Jeep etc. product in the last 20 years then you deserve this. Absolute junk.

Some day every surface we look at will have advertising on it. Some Day.

Like the ridiculous subscription mouse a few months back, I'd be willing to bite with the right incentives, but those aren't incentives the manufacturer is going to be OK with. I'd take a car with ads, so long as it was sufficiently discounted compared to a normal car. And then I'd look up how to disable the ads.

I never thought I would say this, but thank god there are a bunch of car hobbiest in my area.

If this type of invasive shit becomes mainstream, I at least know that the auto community around me will be able to fix anything that gets put into my travel device.

Mmmm, delicious unbridled capitalism.

nobody deserves it more than dodge charger owners

Yet another car I’ll never buy.
