Like the ridiculous subscription mouse a few months back, I'd be willing to bite with the right incentives, but those aren't incentives the manufacturer is going to be OK with. I'd take a car with ads, so long as it was sufficiently discounted compared to a normal car. And then I'd look up how to disable the ads.

Some day every surface we look at will have advertising on it. Some Day.

I just want a car that drives and doesn't collect any tiny bit of data about me

I would drive back to the seller istantly.

Car is mine. No internet connection if I don't won't, no data exchamge with the producer, nothing.

So, here's a solution that will likely work but I'm just extrapolating based on auto industry stuffs. If the ads are driven by SiriusXM, they're likely coming over the satellite radio. The shark fin on top has several antennae in it, including the XM antenna, which is on a specific frequency band and antenna type. Find the wiring harness for the shark fin, trace the SiriusXM cable, unplug or snip it. You'll lose XM, but, honestly, based on the garbage I hear on a lifetime subscription radio these days, I don't understand why anyone pays for it, except for living in or traveling through remote areas with frequency and wanting live background noise.

Chances are it's possible they'd also try and load the ads via a paired Bluetooth phone for Internet, (maybe) if that's the case it's a little more difficult. Probably impossible on iPhone, but on Android may allow one to disable the act of shuttling data to the car stereo via Bluetooth. If Stellantis uses an app to proxy data to the car stereo, deleting the app on the phone would break it.

As an unfortunate owner of a Chrysler and having owned and driven a ton of other cars I can confidently say Stellantis makes the shittiest cars you can buy in US. On screen ads are just a small piece of an immense garbage island that is this shitty company.

I will not buy or watch anything with ads. I can't stand ads. Ads represent everything wrong with the US and capitalism. Just not stop shit shoveled into our faces.

I open this article up about pop up ads in chargers. Meanwhile there are 4 pop up ads on the website. Fuck this shit dude.

Welp every manufacturer that shows this should go down immediately upon first offense.

Not even kidding, this should be corporate suicide.

Dodge and Jeep are (well Jeep already was tbh) both firmly on the "actively speak out against" list. If I was in a place of hugely inflated power, I would dismantle the entire company, and sell it to whoever that company likes the least.

This should honestly be a brand ending scenario in less than 5 seconds after the first ad. CEO should be in the bread line TODAY from getting hit with this.

ABSOLUTE zero tolerance. There are no valid arguments against this and I will die on this hill.

So while you are allowed to use a cars dash for car functions, you should not be drawing someones attention away from the road while at a red light.

How could this be anything but distracted driving.

What happens when this ad pops up, you look at it and read its quite lengthy text, and then get rear ended because you weren't keeping an eye on the rear mirror?

I'd love to see that lawsuit (although it'd suck for the hurt person)

But I'm still not allowed to touch my cellphone while behind the wheel because the screen is too distracting, right?

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.

That’s one way to increase running red lights.

Like that sounds like it should be banned by the ntsb or dot… oh wait they don’t exist anymore, or soon to be cut.

I’ll accept this when the car comes for free.

We dun fucked up when we made tarring and feathering CEOs illegal.

Did you know John Deere tractors have a dedicated piracy scene? Because the tractors require authorized technicians to service them and doesn't allow farmers to service them themselves, spoofed firmware has appeared and is fairly frequently used to bypass this.

My point is, if you can jailbreak a tractor you can jailbreak a car. Just a matter of time.

Starting price is now $58,000.

They ditched selling the accessible models for the luxury market and they do the most cheap and trashy thing possible.

It's incredible how stupid millionaire CEOs can be.

This is why I'd rather rebuild my 30 year old civic's engine than buy a new car.
