Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop

It's actually part of the Sirius XM package. So I think that all you have to do is not bother with Sirius XM.
Too bad it comes with the jeep.....

This is why you need government. This is why you need regulations.
Corporations are evil pieces of shit that would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.
They'd grind you and your entire family into a powder if it made them a few bucks.
Fuck Jeep and their shitty tin cars.
This is why we need government that isn't in the pocket of corporations.
We need something like lawmakers having to disclose their tax information annually. If you want to be in office and make millions you should be willing to put your morals on the review table.

This is why used cars are so dang expensive, it seems like automobile quality has been in a free fall since 2008. The end user experience gets worse while the price goes up.
Love my 2013 Honda. Haven’t driven anything newer

This is the way.
Add in a magnetic charger phone mount and you're golden in my opinion.
A previous owner mounted one where the cigarette lighter was. I'm going to replace it soon since it doesn't really fit - I can't charge my phone in the holder.
Maybe I'll finally learn FreeCAD and print my own.

Roku was experimenting with similar stuff so I refuse to connect my Roku tv to WiFi. Will never update it

Damn, sweet ride dude! Congrats!
Thanks! The next car on the list was a 2004 Honda Civic Si hatchback manual.
I honestly would have been happy with either car. Having so much fun with the Porsche though.

Yeah. Sometimes my bank account gets sad but I don't.

It's not as bad as a Cybertruck! We promise!

Ya, they've been getting bad press for a while now. Will never own one of those.

If you slam on the brakes it makes the ad extra large

That's newer then I would go but yeah at least Honda seems to be behind on the complete shit curve.

No, they would require you purchase these because their business can’t sell their products without them, but they’d make you pay a subscription for them to keep working, and when you stop paying the subscription, the car stops turning on until you pay your monthly airbag and seatbelt fee.

The TVs aren’t a bad value. Gotta get back the the jailbreaking days. If someone released a custom firmware for my Roku tv that made it dumb I would use it.

Holy crap I feel old now. Since when? I'm still driving a car without a touch screen, and that's never going to change.
I'm not sure how long.
My older car (2012 Mazda 3) didn't have a touch screen. I replaced the radio with a touch screen Pioneer one that supports Android Auto. I'd definitely recommend doing that! It's nice having Google Maps on an older car. The third-party radios tend to be better than the OEM ones (they have to be, otherwise nobody would buy them) and I don't think Pioneer does data collection of any sort.

Make the jeep 50% cheaper and I’d deal the ads. Otherwise …

Never said they were bad value, but they are spyware

the cars are fucking solid.
Try driving through a car wash without activating "car wash mode".
I've done it. I think it might have opened the charge port or something. What do you think happens?

Doesn’t Tesla lock larger battery capacity begging a paywall?
That was from years ago.
Tesla used to sell cars rated by pack capacity. For example the 'P85D' was the performance model, 85 kWh pack, dual motor.
There was also a 40 kWh (cheaper) and 60 kWh version.
After a while they stopped building 40 kWh packs and just software-locked the 60 kWh pack to only have 40 kWh of usable capacity. I think for a while they offered an upgrade where you could pay to unlock the extra capacity.I don't think they've done that in some time. I know when I bought my car (model y long range) they didn't even advertise the pack capacity nor was any upgrade offered. The only paywall thing I've seen with Tesla is FSD and they're pretty transparent about that. I don't think they're awful for paywalling it, because if they build the car without the FSD hardware it won't have other safety systems like lane departure notification.

Tesla's have their own privacy issues, and build quality issues . Tesla's staff have been caught spying on their customers and sharing sensitive images of people .
That practice was halted and now the vehicle video is under MUCH stricter control with an option to not share any of it at all.
Given the choice, I'd rather have some Tesla employee joking about what I park next to than Tesla Inc selling my driving data to insurance companies like most other automakers do...
