Im definitely no expert on the auto industry- but ive been wondering for the better part of two years why they haven’t done this…. It wasn’t THAT long ago that cars weren’t completely reliant on computer chips, and as much as i love my rear view camera and remote start, pano sunroof etc- i think most of us would be willing to do without for a while (esp if they are stating they will ‘update’ ur car at a later time) to be able to select from a larger inventory of cars and trucks instead of empty lots due to chip shortages .

I’m fine with not having all the bells and whistles in a vehicle. As long as it’s reliable, that’s all I need

This isn't the first time cars shipped without paid for feature. After the tsunami in Japan in 2011 Audi shipped cars without the Navigation feature due to parts shortage. It apparently was a plug in type deal that could be added later when available.

shite I bought a 2021 bronco and wish I had been given this option. That start-stop is annoying. You should have to manually turn it on, not turn it off every time you get in the car.

A country that built an atomic bomb in a few years and went to the moon over fifty years ago on two decimal places cant build a fricking chip to run an air conditioner in a glorified minivan.
We should drag out the politicians and CEO's in this country and tar and feather their worthless asses before putting them a freighter with a 50/50 chance to make it to China.
