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.
Jeep and Dodge are both owned by Stellantis :) It’s one shit-circus out of
Francethe Netherlands (corrected because apparently I don’t know geography).On the good news front, the market is beating them like a rented mule. Dodge alone is down 29% in sales year-over-year.
I had never heard of Stellantis until the comments on this post.
That’s at least a little good news, but I want day-after total zero existence for stunts like this.
As in executed the day after murder kind of immediate punishment. In this case, total, irrevocable punishment.
C suite people literally living in shelters fighting for leftovers at a food bank after paying out years of employee salaries and benefits kind of punishment.
You can’t just fine people like this for crimes. You have to actually take away money and the ability to accrue more than enough to live on.
“Clearly we need to add more AI, internet of shit, microtransactions and advertising on the cars to compensate!” - Stellantis CEO
Actually, Stellantis has their global HQ in Hoofddorp, Netherlands.
You are… very correct about that!
I somehow got my wires crossed and assumed that the PSA Group (who got rolled up into Stellantis) was still the home base. Thanks for the correction.
I wonder why they can’t get it right
