Anyone else think it's anti-consumer to not be able to opt out of these 'features'?

- gibspaulding 5y agoI was pretty amazed to see this in the initial blurb. I agree with you, and I think a good chunk of HN would as well, but apparently Ford's marketing department determined that this is something that people want. Scrolling through the page, it's the second "feature" that they advertise (first being that it's "gass-free"). It gets higher placement than the "Power your home" capability, and much higher placement than the "Frunk" (in fact, if I just scroll, the "frunk" doesn't show up until about 2/3 of the way down the page!)

- rootusrootus 5y agoDid they say it was something you couldn't opt out of? Tesla seems to do okay convincing people to accept OTA updates. Also, current F150s can do OTA updates, they're just rare.
