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.

I heard the new 2025 model wallops you in the bollocks every time you pull the parking brake.

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

So does this mean I can stop hearing about stupid "Jeep Culture" bullshit now?

Now people will even more inclined to not stop when needed...

The ad they show is an ad for their own extended warranty package and it says that "Odometer must be less than 36000 miles to purchase" Anyone wanna take bets for whether or not that will actually shut up once you go over 36k miles? (I'm betting no)

We're really deep into nightmare territory with the kind of stuff companies feel its ok to do to customers..

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,

Not just a Jeep thing. at least not for long.

I wonder if disconnecting the car’s cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.

Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you can’t see the ad either.
