I get that this is the point of the article, but wow seeing an ad in your car makes it look cheap as fuck.
There’s a chance I might tolerate it on a rental, but not on something I own. Absolutely not.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

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?
This is like shooting a hole in the bottom of the boat so the leaking water has somewhere to go out.
If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?
I'd get rid of that car so fast it would make your head spin. There is no car I'd put up having this garbage to keep
Well I'd put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.
Absolutely not. The "I'd deal with it if I get [nice thing] for less" mindset is the entire reason we're in this situation to begin with. Companies see that people will put up with it, realize data collection from that is where the real money is made, then it leaches into everything else.
Fuck ads entirely.
What if you cannot afford the [nice thing] normally otherwise?
Then don't get it.
If you must have it, find something equivalent, maybe a bit cheaper and older, that isn't ad-supported.
Next thing you know they'll find a way to advertise in our dreams
Having a bad dream? Why don't you dream about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS instead! DIVE INTO A DARK FANTASY...
There was an article about this few months ago and the exact same reddit post was used there as evidence of this being true. This was most likely a bug and it probably has been fixed since. If what the headline claims here was true there would be tons of videos of it happening to different people on YouTube.
Weren't they going to discontinue both the charger and challenger?
I thought they discontinued the challenger in 1986. The whole brand kinda blew up.
This is old and they’ve already said it’s a bug. Stellantis sucks for sure though.
"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.
