Disappointment. It’s running disappointment.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures…

Sadly, this is the correct answer.

10 years from now you might not be able to avoid it.

Very nice temperature though
watson387@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Yeah. I was in my driveway about to get out of the car but…

sorry to say this get yourself a classic car benefits : low tax, or none, low insurance, you can have good times fixing the car, it is not losing money every day, it makes money, carbon pollution on a car from 66, cars made with passion negatives, getting parts is becoming easy with 3D printing, engines are easy to fix, a bit more expensive to buy

Nah man, just buy a solar wind powered land windsurf board. Take it to the train that doesn’t exist.
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s a whole lot of untrue

New cars ARE great. I went from half screen Android Auto to full screen when it was released.
watson387@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Well, this one took 10+ minutes.
ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Buy a 90s shit bucket if you don’t want a nice infotainment.
expected_crayon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is interesting. My Hyundai when it gets software updates (usually just updating the built in GPS) tells me the update can continue even when the car is off. Didn’t realize not all new cars could do that.
catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Engine? Lol. There is literally no reason to buy a car with an engine at this point. Fucking moron
spongebue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I love my EV. There are still reasons to have an ICE car (not knowing what OP has, but generally speaking) and frankly, comments like yours are not going to convert anyone

They had to simplify it for the end user
StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Shit car? My Hyundai Palisade lets me start the update and turn off the car and walk away for the ~1 hour update.
imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 year ago
To be clear - they’ve been doing this for years, but you used to have to take your car into a dealership for THEM to apply a patch, this is actually MUCH EASIER.
someguy3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What if you just never connect it to the net?
imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I dunno, man
Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thank god I will never be able to justify paying more than 8k on any car I will ever own in my life, you rich bitches can keep your fancy 50k 30 year morgage at 18% interest ass smart cars that need 2k in maintenance the second it leaves the dealers lot. I hate being dinged to death to wear a seatbelt and consider it harassment and an invasion of my agency, let alone this BS lol
Ignisnex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But… you should really wear a seatbelt. Actually, haven’t cars been giving users seatbelt alarms for like… over 30 years now? It’s a strange hill to die on, friend.
Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh absolutely I buckle up pretty much every time. But if I want to take the car 2 minutes down the road and I deem it an acceptable level of risk to not bother with the belt, I shouldn’t be harassed to do so by my own machine. You boss around your tools, not the other way around. A little light on the dash should be enough, its not like I don’t know what im doing. Also our countries regulations on that may be different most cars from the early to mid 2000s here don’t ding you to death. If it indangers other peoples health and safety sure but me not wearing a seatbelt isn’t hurting anyone but potentially myself, if I end up crashing through the windshield and splattering on the asphalt thats the consequences of my own very stupid) decicion.

This is why I refuse to buy anything too far from 2010oe earlier
ShadowRam@kbin.social 1 year ago
WTF,
I don't care if it's just the infotainment system.
Engine (prime mover) should be off for any update on anything
567PrimeMover@kbin.social 1 year ago
Agreed, it’s a waste environmentally, on my pocket book, waste of time (do you have to babysit this thing while it’s updating?) and is unnecessary wear and tear on the engine.
The electrics stay on on my car when you turn the engine off, until you open the door. I don’t see why that behavior can’t be overridden until the update is done, and then turn itself off.
ShadowRam@kbin.social 1 year ago
It's a safety issue.
Crazy inexplicable things can happen when modern cars have electrical control access to brakes/steering/throttle.
Firmware doesn't take right, download message emulates by accident another message, random bit flipping that even CRC checks miss.
There's no reason to risk any of that. Just shut the engine off.
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m just wondering why you felt the need to include “(prime mover)”
Did you just like typing it?
567PrimeMover@kbin.social 1 year ago
To be fair it’s a pretty cool way to describe an engine
ShadowRam@kbin.social 1 year ago
Because it's a main source of active power that can be re-directed.
A battery on an EV can be too, in which case the main contactor should be verified disconnected prior to any software update.
