Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight

Mozilla has one too. And Fastmail. You can invent a different email address for every site, then block the ones that get spammed.
Pro-tip: Fastmail integrates with 1Password to generate random emails and save them.

I thought they discontinued the challenger in 1986. The whole brand kinda blew up.

Operate the gas tank? What new feature did they add that requires a container of liquid to be networked?
-
If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

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.
I’ve been debating getting a new car after paying a ton to fix up my old one but now I think I’ll keep her forever.
Anybody got a lead on a rebuilt turbo for a 2.0L TSI?

If this ever happens to any car I buy, it'd be going right back to the dealer.
I bet you might have a court case if you could prove that the dealer had disabled this advertising “feature” during your test drive.

Fuck this made me giggle
For that rhyme you deserve a nickel!

Where are others confirming this? Not in the article.
Im in a challenger every week and have never seen an ad on the screen ever.

This is old and they’ve already said it’s a bug. Stellantis sucks for sure though.

Hornet, Journey, Charger. That’s it. Hornet is a piece of cheap, charger has ads. Journey…?

You know, I always expected Tesla to be the first to do this kind of shit, but never underestimate Stellantis's commitment to be at the bottom.

"It's just a bug, trust me bro"
Yeah OK huge corporation. The followup question is why this mechanism exists at all if it was never intended to be used in this fashion.

Same boat, big bill this time though. Weighing my options. Not really liking the price, quality, or connectivity of newer vehicles...
-
Their new $85k Charger will surely save them...

Been doing this with Jeeps already. They claimed it was a mistake.

They really don't make them like they used to.

Damn, I would be pissed if my car started showing ads. I hope this enshitification doesn't spread.
Narrator: "It spread. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. Really you wouldn't believe how much it spread. It spread like Domino's
