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.
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
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 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.
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???

shakes head sorrowfully
They aren’t very innovative.
The subscription to heated seats was BMW.
Subaru does this.
The seat subscription? I didn’t know about this
Ford execs have floated it too

I’ll buy a jeep but it will have to be at least 20 years old.
20 is a funny way to spell 40.
Fuck it, I’ll only buy a Jeep that was used in D Day

All right, these are some pretty cool Jeeps.

You spelled concussion wrong

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
