Looks like a nice little trick some company can use for their newly installed AI customer service. Make it all by text so they don’t have to deal with the challenges of faking a voice and then program it to be on a delay in hopes people will just pay themselves instead of waiting. Throw in a nice barrier like dealer…

You can also get wifi data plans as well on some vehicles. Super helpful to have a Hotspot so the kids can watch Netflix in the back sear.

I would bet 100% of the people who said yes were actually only talking about OnStar and Siris/XM radio, since as far as I am aware those are the ONLY 2 vehicle based subscription services that are even available, at least that I am aware of.

Think your math is a little off.

Wait, $14,000 per vehicle to install this shit? I don’t care if it actually worked, that’s more half of the cost of the car itself! Ahh, government spending at its finest. 

There’s 2 million new cars sitting on dealer lots. 92,000 of those are EVs. That means less that 1/2 of 1% are EVs... I wouldn’t call that “leading the way”. That’s literally how you make a mountain out of an ant hill with statistics. Don’t believe me? Re-read the stats in the articles released last week that…

I would love to buy an EV, but the price is my wall so to speak. I don’t want to buy one, and then have to wait till tax time to get my credit, which if I understand correctly only effects me if I own money and isn’t a rebate. Please correct me if I am wrong. Even if I am wrong, I do not want to wait almost a year or…

This is completely fabricated troll food and it’s far from the truth, the EVs people actually want are still in very short supply. They could post specific numbers but they don’t, I will for you. EVs make up less than 5% of the said inventory.....

Seriously get a Chevy Bolt. They’re cheap as hell and EXTREMELY good cars. I absolutely love mine

Counterpoint: The Bolt is awesome transportation for the money.

I hate GM products - particularly Chevy -and I gotta say the Bolt is an excellent car. I know two people with them, and the one I’ve been in was pretty swell.

The ISS is only flying in the Douglas Adams definition of the word

Sadly $15,000 is not nearly enough to buy her a reasonably sound Microbus. But you can appeal to that goofball sense of aesthetics with a 1st generation Scion xB:

They definitely aren’t “pretty close”
The Maverick is a full 2ft longer and 8 inches wider

Built-in Google Maps with the Android Automotive platform GM is using for the Blazer EV will be free...for eight years.

I already pay Verizon a ton every month. So, you’re saying if I buy a GM electric car, I have to pay GM another $25 a month so its software has internet access?  Us poor folk are going to have to keep ICE vehicles going like Chevys in Cuba.

I truly think the portability is the single biggest drawback to GM ditching these phone based systems. That alone makes CarPlay and Android Auto a great solution. 

You’re also more likely to be hit by a piece of the satellite than you are to be hit by a car, the chances of which here in the U.S. sit at around 1 in 4,292.

The actual quote is: “the risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is low, approximately “1 in 2,467" (emphasis mine). 

Taco Bell missed their chance this time.
