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?

Yes, but now the car can't pull data to operate the gas tank.

Operate the gas tank? What new feature did they add that requires a container of liquid to be networked?

gas-as-a-subscription service. For $300 a month you can get gas at select service stations at no cost to you. Terms and conditions apply.
