    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.

      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

        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.

      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.

      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.
