Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

Been doing this with Jeeps already. They claimed it was a mistake.

"Oops! We accidentally incorporates ads into our software! It was an honest mistake..."

I've never wanted to go smashing car windows in a lot until now

Yeah, happened to me last week. I wanted to do a simple bugfix and next thing I knew I had implemented, configured and released an ad solution to our software...

Whether it is a feature or a bug depends on how their sales numbers look for Q1 2025.

Call it Schroedinger's bug.

You right. This is the second time I've felt the urge.
