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 garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look at how it looks.

    Return the car, stop buying a single vehicle from them. Point and laugh while we watch them go down.

    Is the only reasonable response to this.

      I don’t think it’s that easy to just return a car.

        Crashing it through the big window is easy enough while distracted by an ad. Not sure about the money back though.

    What I really want is the EV equivalent of an old Jeep. No antennas of any kind, no “infotainment”, no radio / music, no bluetooth support, no nothing not related to going from A to B. If I want to call somebody, I’ll pull over and use a phone. If someone calls me, they can wait until I’m not driving.

        That’s cool for your exotic collectible vehicles you take out on sunny days but I don’t know if I’d want that as my daily. Modern cars, while plagued with massive corporate bullshit, also tend to be much much safer for occupants and external parties, as well as coming with creature comforts I’m not sure I’d like giving up.

      Renault Twizy/Citroen Ami are the only ones that come to mind. That or VW e-Up with it’s radio removed. I doubt anyone would make a car the size of a Jeep with no radio anymore.

    I’ll just avoid it all together by not buying one but holy shit that would make me break my warranty so fast to jailbreak it to make that shit stop

        I’m sure a way will pop up eventually if there already isn’t one, haven’t actually checked it though cos I’m not touching that car with a ten foot pole

      It seems you’re not using our corporate approved ad-infested, 247 tracking app, so we’ll add as many steps as possible between you and the content you came for.

      Wait don’t go ooo
