Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop
-
Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don't sell. Their only customers are people who don't know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.
I had two Jeeps, first was originally my dad's. It was an old shitbox. The other one was a somewhat old shitbox. 1998 & 2010. We dumped more time and money into them than I'd care to admit.

There'll be a special maintenance package that will be available. Then it'll be ads for new Stellantis vehicles.
"Check Engine light on again? Check out the new 2027 Jeep Wagoneer! You'll definitely get more miles out of the new one compared to the 2025 model thats now broken"

Note to self: Don't buy a Jeep.
I dunno man. Harrison Ford made it sound like it was more rewarding than raising children and more important than world peace. You gonna turn your back on what seems to be something more fulfilling to Harrison Ford than religion just because it's an inferior product and it's pushing ads in your face like a free playstore game?

I thought this was a funny onion type of article... It isnt. Wtf

Stop
Buying New Shit I could run a whole community on how to recycle, reuse, repurpose. Why the hell are people buying new cars?!
Yup. Keeping old cars going on fossil fuels is so much better than millions of new cars being built every year, and in order for them to be built they ship them around the world to seperate facilities. I could go on and on

I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn't buy anything from them.
What's confusing is that some great auto brands from Europe are under Stellantis (Peugeot and Citroen at least)
And they're actually not doing a shitty job in designing or selling their vehicles. It's mainly the Chrysler brands or basically the US brands under Stellantis

Ok, I’ll bite.
Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?
I was just thinking the slashdot used to be a massive source of traffic across the internet.
And now it's a sink. How times change.

I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there's no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that's it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.
This is the way.
Add in a magnetic charger phone mount and you're golden in my opinion.

I don't understand how this is related to the Streisand Effect. The Streisand Effect is when you try to suppress unflattering info about yourself, and in the process you call attention to it, so now everyone knows. But we didn't learn about this through Jeep trying to suppress the info, we just learned about it from people who saw the ads.
That is the photo Barbara Streisand attempted to have removed from the internet, the effeft gets its name from this event and photo.

We need legislation against the unending encroachment upon our daily lives by advertisers.

"Speed", but instead of a vehicle exploding, it's to avoid ads.

A bicyce at this point.

Right, but... what does it have to do with Jeeps showing in-car advertisements?

Is this real?? Do you have the source?

I bought a 2025 Kia Sportage before the new Trumpflation taxes went into effect. No ads at all. I would have been pretty damn mad to see ads. Weird that Jeep has decided to self destruct.
