Absolutely fucking not.

Though it does sound like a good kicker for the after market systems to make a comeback.

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.

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

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

I thought this was the onion for a moment

This is all I need to never even look at a Jeep... how pathetic can these idiots get?

This is why you need government. This is why you need regulations.

Corporations are evil pieces of shit that would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.

They'd grind you and your entire family into a powder if it made them a few bucks.

Fuck Jeep and their shitty tin cars.

Hey, you might want to team up with Sony...

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

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

Old cars are gonna be so expensive.

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.

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..

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?

Drivers don't need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.

Holy shit. For the love of Luigi, this is terrorism.

This is just one of the many reasons I have no interest in new cars. If it needs an internet connection then I'm not buying it. There are very few things I need my vehicle to be able to do and having access to internet isn't one of them. I don't even like that my truck has automatic wipers - I vastly prefer the traditional ones. Hell, I don't even need the radio.

A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

No fucking way. Not even if the car was free.

I've known several Jeep owners over the last decade and those that weren't buying it strictly for the 'Jeep clout' as an actual vehicle/daily driver had constant issues, while under warranty, and dealt with issues even trying to get said warranty work done. Like that wasn't enough for me, on top of that I had a mechanic with his own shop that said he'd never touch another Jeep because of how horribly they are designed to work on. Anything from ease of access to work on the engine to bolts stripping out because they were overtorqued during assembly and made with shit metals that would sooner melt than come off in one piece. Now this? Yeah, hope they go bankrupt. This is just as bad as BMW and their 'pay a subscription for seat warmers' bullshit.

How to get me to not buy a Jeep and to hate anyone pushing these ads (Mopar) in one simple act.

Note to self: Don't buy a Jeep.

"You almost ran over a five year old with your oversized vehicle, thanks for breaking! This segment is brought to you thanks to BetterHelp..."

Disgusting. Why would anyone pay for that?

Cyberpunk 2077 here we come. except its just the Corpo shit.

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

The car screen is a nice flat surface to attach the suction cup of your phone mount.

Imagine pulling up to a red light, checking your GPS for directions, and suddenly, the entire screen is hijacked by an ad. That’s the reality for some Stellantis owners. Instead of seamless functionality, drivers are now forced to manually close out of ads just to access basic vehicle functions.

Oh HELLLLL no. I hope my 2012 Subaru will last until I'm either dead or too old to drive. I don't even want to have these damn screens for the usual shit you have to do on them. I want to be able to do everything with physical controls, no eavesdropping, and no dependence on a fucking app or touchscreen to operate anything in my car! I will drive my car while wearing mittens! shakes fist

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

There's exactly zero chance I'd buy a car that showed me ads.

There was already zero chance I'd buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.

And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.
