Another car maker banned from my life forever

I personally agree Jeeps suck, but that's dodging my question.
-
Some buses are also smaller than some US cars.
-
I mean it's not really... Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I'm pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.

Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?
Public transit has other benefits. You can read a book, play on your phone, and don't have to worry about parking.

It's a Jeep so you're really gonna need that warranty too, lmao
Had a chat with a fella on that other site a while ago who said he wanted to buy another Grand Cherokee after being from a Jeep family and previously owning Jeeps... And ended up getting a lightly used BMW X5 for less money, more power and a better interior. It's probably going to last him longer too. And that was one of them fancy uber complex V8 X5's that Americans prefer. If you get one with the inline 6 (particularly the diesel 6 that isn't available in the US lol), the engine is also rock solid.

What I'm talking about is the popular stand that offenses against public opinion are unforgivable and unredeemable. Nobody should buy from company X, nobody should listen to musician Y, nobody see any more movies with actor Z in them, etc.
-
the cybertruck does that. it's still allowed.
-
No wonder they don't sell it anywhere else - wouldn't meet local safety requirements.
I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob... Their biggest complaint was that it was "overbuilt" lol
Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.

"Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?"
Not really in the UK. Minimal bill boards and ad free radio if you stick to the multitude of BBC channels.
-
At least those ads don't track you.

JEEP: Just Empty Every Pocket

I love how that saying this is a software glitch is somehow supposed to make it okay? Motherfuckers, you took time and money to develop the thing. In doesn't matter that it wasn't supposed to be deployed right now. It matters that it was developed at all.
This is my tinfoil opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised that it was done on purpose to gauge the public reaction and setting the pace of rollout.
The timing is too perfect knowing damn well that Republicans won't legislate that.
-
I can't stand when they lie to us and it's not even plausible. I saw an ad for some technical school or something and it proudly proclaimed "Our only goal is for you to succeed". Like, no it fucking isn't! You're a for-profit business; your goal is to maximize shareholder profits while (hopefully) providing a service. It falls apart when you think about it for even a moment...
-
I design UI for systems infinately less likely to kill you when distracted than a vehicle interface.
The only possible glitch is that this is appearing before it was supposed to.
Being triggered specifically when the vehicle is stopped shows a lot of thought on the cover your ass for saftey lawsuits front, that was no mistake.
-
Lots of it is tied to the ecu now, which can’t be tampered with if you live in a state with emissions inspections.
I’m planning to when stuff starts failing though. And I will likely be installing a homemade OBD2 reporter so that it’ll keep passing.
I don’t live in CA though, I wouldn’t mess with it then, the do tailpipe confirmation, and deeper inspections for CARB parts.
-
But i think its exploded how intrusive the car factory's are. Just because its a "new" tech, and the politics struggle to control it, or maybe don't wanna, because they also need the data. I want to buy a new car, e vehicle, but I haven't done it yet because of the privacy concerns. It feels like nobody, in my country, cares about it.
-
I had to give up my '08 manual transmission rear wheel drive technodumb car last month due to it finally going downhill (in its operation and in the easiest direction to push it). Will miss the fun, and the privacy.
-
If they change course in the next 5 years, so be it. But right now, Jeep took some dev time to develop this, meaning they plan to use it at some point.
They deserve to lose the trust of the consumer because they gave us a peek behind the curtain and it fucking sucks.
Stop being pro-corpo, they are not your friend and they will piss on your corpse if that means they get a dollar more.
-
Read a book and it might as well be.

But you need room for the secondary car to navigate the car park, from where you left your car to the mall entrance. European people can't understand what they have to face daily in the US.
