How to get me to not buy a Jeep and to hate anyone pushing these ads in one simple act.

Oh. We're already friends? I thought you asked me if we wanted to be. I guess we are. Which is weird, because I didn't think my friends were people who insulted me and declared what I thought even though I was sure that wasn't in any way what I thought.
In fact, I always thought my friends were nice and kind people who respected others enough to let them speak for themselves and didn't run around lobbing insults.
But what do I know about my friends? It's not like I've ever met them.

Gosh, if i had known you were such a victim i wouldnt have dared suggest you have a problem letting things go.

Shouldn't you have known I was such a victim? I thought you knew all this stuff about me! You mean you actually don't know about me? I'm so confused!

Something to consider...
Elon may be going down a conservative rabbit hole these days, but this is the sort of thing Tesla would never ever ever do. And things like using the telematic system to sell your location and speed to insurance companies. Never happened on a Tesla.
You may not like the guy, but the cars are fucking solid.Doesn’t Tesla lock larger battery capacity begging a paywall?

This is all I need to never even look at a Jeep... how pathetic can these idiots get?
I already had dozens of reasons to never buy a Jeep. This is just the cherry on a shitty cake.

Well I certainly wouldn't want to extrapolate your qualities from limited information. Maybe i should try thinking more about the reality of your situation and not feel obligated to conclude stuff about you. Sorry about my short-sighted meme behavior. I really am ruining lemmy even though i just wanted to drive engagement with the platform so it feels populated enough for people to transition from reddit without it feeling like a ghost town. Maybe i can still do that without being so damn annoying.

Toyotas are still good
I am still awaiting my first map update to my nav system that has free lifetime map updates, my truck will be 10 this year.

Depending on how long you were gone, don't get real debrid btw.
What happened to real-debrid?

Not a chance. The new “infotainment” clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.
Despite no longer sticking to the DIN standard, and climate controls being integrated into the infotainment system, there still exists a big market for aftermarket infotaiment systems, they just have to be engineered for the specific make of car you have. But they can be bought for most cars that have infotaiment systems that are now outdated

I haven’t replaced a head unit in years, but I’m not surprised the proprietary systems require custom components for replacement. I can’t count the amount of head units I’ve replaced with my own ‘custom’ wire harness to save the $15 it cost for the Metra adapter. Lol

Toyota Sales here
Boy do I have some BMW Heated seat subscription crap to sell you(Its not quite as bad as BMW. But one thing that really irks customers is the remote starter is restricted to a subscription service. unless you're one of the lucky ones who got a vehicle that installed the wrong part/fuses. in which case you can still remote start your car with the fob. its still very finnicky)
Yeah that remote start subscription really pissed me off. If i could confirm a way to give them even less data i would.

Drivers don't need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.
It's a static ad, not a video. I agree with your sentiment though!
-
Lol what? Ur car got internet?
Just pull the OnStar /gps fuseMost cars have a SIM card with a very basic data/phone service. In many jurisdictions, it's a legal requirement for cars to have a button to call emergency services, so they need phone connectivity for that. It's also used for software updates, map updates, and of course, data collection.

I completely crossed off all GM cars due to lack of CarPlay. I am boycotting Tesla. I don’t trust BMW because they tried to make heated seats a subscription. Now Jeep and Stellantis?
This only applies to GM EVs. Friend has a 2025 ICE Chevy which has both AA and CarPlay. Still dumb that the EVs don't have it though.

Japanese manufacturers are not perfect but seem to be the least interested in doing this kind of anti-consumer nonsense, at least for now. I have been happy with every Mazda I've owned in the last decade (3 in total) for what it's worth.
I just wish Mazda had a good EV. Their EVs just aren't that good at the moment. I leased a BMW iX a few months ago, but my old car (which I still have) is a 2012 Mazda 3. Love the EV experience and I don't think I'll buy a gas powered car ever again.

Just you wait until the windshields become screens as well. Full windshield ads baybe!
In USSR, despite all its downsides, there was a huge upside - magazines like "Техника - молодежи" and various educational brochures of the practical kind, aimed at explaining how to really make something.
And also a certain culture of hobbies associated with that, I guess all the energy from boredom went there.
So - I've read about competitions of hobby-crafted cars then. Like 20 guys would make some (like half of it would be something used in usual Soviet cars, think Reagan and the 10 years joke) parts of a car in their garages and apartments (and even at work, if they worked on some factory, for example ; in general workplace in USSR was, eh, a bit more permanent of an association, so the border between personal life and work, including tools, was fuzzy), then assemble them.
I think that could even be registered as a legal means of transportation. At least from what I've heard there is (or was) a surprisingly liberal part of Russian laws, allowing you to register almost anything as a car and get a number, with some criteria passed. Maybe these two things are related.
