Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight
-
Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.
Whenever I upgrade my car, if it has this “feature “ I will immediately change out the system.

Also with bitwarden!
Nice! I didn’t know that.

This is the company that saw their North American sales dipping and responded, "let's discontinue the Challenger and Charger, our 2 recognizable nameplates that give the rest of our lineup a halo effect with our largest buying segment, that'll fix it!"
Then they brought back the Charger as an EV, which is exactly what that particular fanbase did not want to buy, at a starting price that'll make your eyes water. Now they've announced that they're doubling back and releasing a gasoline Charger, but by surprise and with no specs available in advance, as though they're panic-releasing it. It's a perfect shit show. Corporate idiocy on parade.
An EV with a fake exhaust sound, no less.
My god how lame.

I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.
Memes don't matter if revenue climbed

Memes only matter if they effect revenue. If profit climbed then the stupid stays.

It's so insane how seemingly every company wants to fuck over all their customers these days. Their obsession with fucking infinite growth.

Actually tried it, seems like gmail doesnt like swear words
Sounds like a problem for addresses related to Scunthorpe or Penistone

Absolutely not. The "I'd deal with it if I get [nice thing] for less" mindset is the entire reason we're in this situation to begin with. Companies see that people will put up with it, realize data collection from that is where the real money is made, then it leaches into everything else.
Fuck ads entirely.
What if you cannot afford the [nice thing] normally otherwise?

Then don't get it.
If you must have it, find something equivalent, maybe a bit cheaper and older, that isn't ad-supported.
