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

They're good for longevity, but they're bad for quarterly profits. In the US, we care much more for the latter.

Happens on Prime now

Yep it is slow but steady.

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?

I’m on year 9 of my 10 year car plan. Current vehicle is supposed to become the kidmobile and I planned on a new one.
I won’t buy a new car though. If I do replace mine, it will be a used, unconnected car. I am so tired of iPads on wheels.

It's Zed's.
Who's Zed?
-
Zed's dead, baby.

To be honest, I would just get an old car and fit a tablet into it

Make that community. I'll join up.

Just you wait until the windshields become screens as well. Full windshield ads baybe!
-
Out of curiosity, who would you buy from?
-
Yeah there's a huge difference between advertisements in free media vs advertisements in a car you almost certainly had to get a loan to purchase

Meanwhile I used to drive a 99 Chrysler 300m and I swear it was one of the best vehicles I've driven. It only died because as an idiot 19 year old I thought the engine temperature gage could wait a day because I had to move into college.
That said it was the last car Chrysler made worth shit

Fark is still around too.

Out of the American big three, I have the most confidence in Ford. I've worked with engineers at all three, and the ones at Ford are the ones that I felt were most compitent.
That being said, my next car will probably be a Toyota or a Subaru. Both way better than the American OEMs.

Mercedes also includes a number of items as a subscription in some countries. Some stuff is app related. Others are things like getting full use of your rear-steering wheels and unlocking extra horsepower.
-
They'll justify stuff like that by telling you they sold it to you at a discount price because the ads offset your costs. That's what Amazon did with the cheap tablet I bought for my wife.

my 2008 BMW is the last without a computer screen and none of that stupid knob and I had to seek it out but it was absolutely worth it. Bonus that I can actually work on the car my self!

Fark rules!
