I just decided I'll never buy a jeep.

These kinds of decisions are unilateral. You don't go in this direction without that being the overarching goal.

Zero tolerance for this shit. Put ads in something I own, and I'll sell it, trash it, never buy it again.

This should be a death rattle for any brand to even consider.

Fuck Jeep.

What was the one with premium subscription for heated seats? I think it was Mercedes.

...and I think Audi dabbled in this area but backed down.

Ao that's Mercedes, Audi, and Jeep I'll never buy from, and obviously Tesla too.

EDIT Oh dear, it's so much worsethan I knew:

TOYOTA how could you???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

The subscription to heated seats was BMW.

Clearly, the problem is that they went with a pure subscription model instead of also having an ad-supported model. Like, supposing that you're allowed to turn on the seat heater, but then the car starts playing advertisements while it's running. They could offer a premium seat heater subscription if you want to buy an ad-free experience.

shakes head sorrowfully

They aren't very innovative.

I think you mean, "...a premium seat heater subscription ... for a reduced-ad experience."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ford execs have floated it too

edit: that google search isn't very specific to what we're talking about here, which is a subscription to access features that are physically installed in the vehicle

The seat subscription? I didn't know about this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I have to pay for Subaru-brand OnStar before the heated seats are even an option. I didn't know the seats were subscription when I bought the car, they just said OnStar was free for a year.

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin 1 points 17 hours ago

Must have started recently? I have a 21 and the seat warmers are included although I don't use them often because I don't like seat warmers

[–] papalonian 15 points 1 day ago

But.. but Stelantis is working to reduce the frequency of the ads! Don't you know that the company that implemented this practice is witerawally powerless to stop it, they're doing everything they can to make this change (that they made) better for EVERYONE, because they understand our frustration and they care 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

I’ll buy a jeep but it will have to be at least 20 years old.

[–] dual_sport_dork 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

20 is a funny way to spell 40.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck it, I’ll only buy a Jeep that was used in D Day

[–] crank0271 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hate to make such a sweeping generalization (but here goes!), but many of the Jeep drivers I've encountered on the road have already brought me to the same conclusion.

You spelled concussion wrong

We used to own a 2008-ish Wrangler, and it’s the single worst car anyone in my family has ever owned. There wasn’t one redeeming quality about this vehicle, except for that it makes you look like an asshole, and apparently some people are into that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I mean... I loved offroading and rock crawling when I had my 2012 Wrangler. But, the ad thing means I'll never buy a newer one
