Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?
I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?
What the actual fuck
Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?
I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…
You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)
I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…
They target the most common denominator. Once EVs are everywhere, look at the chargers getting filled with ads.
Maybe, but I don’t think it’s worth it. With a gas car, you stand idle at the pump for a few minutes making sure that nothing bursts into flames or gas doesn’t overflow. Charging an EV isn’t like that. They’ve got about 5 seconds of your time at the most.
Fast charging is constantly improving though, I wouldn’t be surprised if we reach a point where EV charging improves to a point where it takes roughly the same time as charging an ICE vehicle in the 2030s.

Well, Toyota’s claims about batteries are intended to convince people not to buy EVs yet. They’re going to be SO much better real soon now so just buy another Toyota gas car and think about EVs next time.
It’s just another flavour of the anti-EV FUD Toyota has been spewing for a decade now. They’re also saying that hydrogen is the future and that gas will always be 70%+ of the car market, so you have your choice of anti-EV FUD. Consistency doesn’t matter when you’re running a disinformation campaign.
Lol that would be the ultimate first world problem. Charging so fast it makes more sense to stand at the plug than go into the store to pee.
