5 Scary New Car Features We All Hate!

5 Scary New Car Features We All Hate! A Fool is easily parted with their money. Someone who truly aspires to build wealth shouldn’t feel afraid to call out very blatant obvious money grabs. Pay to use your heated seats, even though your car already has heated seats. Pay a Yearly Subscription to use your Navigation System, even though it’s literally already installed in the car. Next thing you know, they’ll make it where your door won’t even open unless you insert 50 bucks into it. It’ll just have a Vending Machine Dollar inserter, or a Credit Card Reader. I bet you if it breaks, the dealership won’t fix it either, you’ll have to pay to fix it, to then pay to your use your car.
In the near future, Key Fobs will have 0 use anymore, other than to remind the buyer of the false pretense of owning the car, when in actuality, the car owns them. It’s just an agreement to rent out a vehicle that is truly owned by the Dealership and Manufacturer. I hope Kit Cars will still be legal in the future because if companies keep pre-installing these garbage features OR shove the subscriptions down our throat, then boy am I just going to build my own car at that point. You’d think all these simple shaped, boring looking kitchen appliances would be easier to fix, but they have a distinct lack of body panels. The Artists call this design clean, but to the Consumer it’s absolute hell. How do we fix our own dang car?

[@WSKRBSCT]

This is not new. All it takes is for a problem intersection in your ZIP code. When I say problem, I am talking frequency, not severity, of accidents. Just moving a mile away can have a huge effect on your premium. But, the thing is, law of large numbers, the insurer has determined with quite a bit of accuracy the likelihood of you being in a crash. Remember, it doesn't have to be your fault in order for them to still be out money. And, the most basic principle of insurance is spread of risk. As such, everyone shares in everyone else's joy and misery. It's a fact of life. With respect to the telematics, I detest them and will pay more (really, forgo a discount) not to have them. What driving they deem risky (speeding, braking, accelerating, etc) doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe. I do all of those things to extreme degrees and I can do them with a skill much greater than the person doing rolling stops at 5 mph. I voiced my displeasure with this when it was being test marketed (it was around mid-2000s), pointing this out. I also pointed out how the data collected could be used in ways that border on bad faith. While that ultimately did not dissuade them from implementing it, I at least tried to advocate for my clients. At least people still have the option.

I just finished watching the Super Cub anime. Loved it and makes me want to get into bikes.

[@BladedAngel]

DO IT! Super Cub is a great bike to start on to! Make sure to get 125 at least if you live in US though. $10 Motorcycle Permit takes literall 30minute at DMV, the answers are all online for written test, just 20 questions. Can miss up to 3, very easy to pass. Don't buy a 50CC if you live stateside, its too slow! 65mph and 4 gears still gets me everywhere I need to go locally! Puts a smile on my face too, the perfect revmatches still hit the same dopamine as my Z06 LMAO

@@BladedAngel I'm in Illinois and they closed so many facilities so I need to commit a lot of time if I want to get trained on a bike and get a license. I am not a "wide" person (owns a miata) but don't think the super cub can handle my weight well. Looking at a CB300R. Don't think I'll need anything higher cc. If I'm not riding like a circuit racer, than anything higher is not an upgrade.

I agree with you that these features and hardware installed in the new cars are scary, the subscription thing is just going to make cars a useless heap of metal and we might have pay money just to drive the car over 40 mph and what not other things they'll put behind a paywall to loot the owners. For some reason I've seen alot of normies trust corpos and when the corpo does something bad then they go surprised pikachu face and act all confused.

[@mattiabinotto1097]

You aren't the only one that thinks like that, and i am speaking from experience with these features, especially linking your car to your phone! Like, once i had to work on a Tesla Model 3 and it took us an HOUR of labor just to get this car's tires changed with the tires that the owner came to us with, when it should be a 15 minute job, just because the car kept locking when the owner was away and of course it would've been much easier if it had DAMN KEYS.

[@Aven_Gaming]

I do professional detailing (paint correction, ppf, ceramic) and new cars from the dealerships have some of the worst scratching in the clear coat of any cars we get, sometimes requiring a full three stage paint correction just because the dealerships use rough bristle brushes to clean the cars and ruining them in the process. And if buying a new car, NEVER get dealer installed ceramic coating. It’s not a true ceramic, just a paint sealer and will do nothing for your car and you’ll pay extra for it, spend the money and get it professionally done or watch KZbin videos and do it yourself with the proper product. Hope this helps somebody.

[@jonnykarkkainen9965]

Modern cars have way too much tech anyway. So much weight and cost could be saved just by putting the emphasis on being a good driver, instead of nannying the driver. But then I see the average soccer mom in her SUV and I realize why those features are there. Other than that, I have chosen to stick to simpler and older cars that I can work on and keep on the road. I don't care if I pay the price in gas money or parts, at least I don't get robbed.

anti-lock brakes are great but other than that there are so many technological features that are just straight up not needed. for example, blind spot detection. my brother in christ, it's y'alls fault that there even is a blind spot to begin with, so now I have to lean to the right to look around that fat ass B pillar that's totally going to come in handy when I don't get T-boned
