Dark (New) on Nostr: It took me half an hour to de-Google the Silverado Elevation they gave me for work ...
It took me half an hour to de-Google the Silverado Elevation they gave me for work and personal. And this truck has been back to the dealership three times for critical recalls. Two weeks ago I zipped home for lunch and as I pulled up and parked I got a message on the display saying that there was a software update pending for the fuel injection system. It said “hit accept to start the update”, then displayed a warning that the vehicle would be undriveable during the approximately 15 minutes it would take. Man I’d be pissed as a consumer if I dropped 80-100k on a truck and it wasn’t even really mine to use without permission from a server somewhere. I’m sure this thing could still be shut down remotely with what firmware I can’t disable.
