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.

I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.

If you just do a standing burnout at every light will it not pop up?

Welp. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Of the class action variety.

Don’t worry, on the mountain of paperwork you sign when you buy a car there’s probably an arbitration clause somewhere.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Speed run to bankruptcy.

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