The Muse's cleavage knows what's up.

I liked that part of Minority Report where he gets his eyeballs replaced and then all his customized ads in the mall are targeting the wrong person.

... In a dark, dystopian crystal-ball sort of way. Not in a "corporations should use this as an instruction guide" sort of way.

Who would have thought, the customized ad part would be right, but the expecting malls to exist part would be wrong?

Yeah, that's how I read it :)

Have a great day.

This is the company that saw their North American sales dipping and responded, "let's discontinue the Challenger and Charger, our 2 recognizable nameplates that give the rest of our lineup a halo effect with our largest buying segment, that'll fix it!"

Then they brought back the Charger as an EV, which is exactly what that particular fanbase did not want to buy, at a starting price that'll make your eyes water. Now they've announced that they're doubling back and releasing a gasoline Charger, but by surprise and with no specs available in advance, as though they're panic-releasing it. It's a perfect shit show. Corporate idiocy on parade.

The folk with the random alphanumeric username, asking the real questions

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.

Is your Challenger using the dealer installed SiriusXM? That would be for new and CPO vehicles. That seems to be what it is linked to.

Y'all are... surprisingly hard to persuade! I thought sharing a literal image of popup ads in the car would be the proof y'all needed to believe it was happening.

I mean, there are... more images of it happening...? Like, damn. Here's an instance of it happening in a Challenger.

Reported by drivers as recently as Tuesday.

One of dozens of such reports, confirming make, model, and frequency of the ads (at every stop): https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodge/comments/1j838k8/why_tf_am_i_getting_ads_in_my_car/

I'm the world's worst journalist, but I do try! When possible, I confirm facts with multiple sources. The "news" aspect here is that they were previously on a different Stellantis brand (Jeep), and now they have expanded to another Stellantis brand (Dodge).

If you have evidence that contradicts, feel free to share.
