It's fine to figure out how to pull the damn sim card on vehicles. There is 0 reason my car needs a cloud connection. It's job is to convey person from A -> B.

- gambiting 3y agoNah I like having an app for my car. The ability to preheat/precool the car from anywhere as well as see detailed stats for every journey is worth it(for me).
- rurp 3y agoIt's fine to leave it in if you like those features but many people couldn't care less about them and hate the distracting popups, spying, and auto-updates that change functionality.
- Gud 3y agoYes, but these things are not a requirement for a connected car. I suspect these user hostile behaviours will go away eventually, either through legislation or through more aware customers.
- gambiting 3y agoI have that in an EV that doesn't even really have a screen to show you any popups on(Volkswagen e-Up). The car has remote connectivity that I can use to set climate control to selected temperature and see detailed energy consumption stats but inside the car it's very analogue, there is a basic screen for the radio(operated with buttons, not a touchscreen) but that's literally it, even the driver cluster still uses analogue gauges.
