Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight (fuelarc.com)

Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

If you disconnect the car’s cellular network, do the ads go away?

Excited to see what they'll do with Revanced for cars.

Weren't they going to discontinue both the charger and challenger?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought they discontinued the challenger in 1986. The whole brand kinda blew up.

Theres a core memory! Those 80s challengers were real pieces of shit. Ignoring that, challenger space craft have about the same longevity. Too soon?

Whenever I upgrade my car, if it has this “feature “ I will immediately change out the system.

This is old and they’ve already said it’s a bug. Stellantis sucks for sure though.

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

Speed run to bankruptcy.

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?
