That’s stupid. I feel like if you buy a vehicle with this option, that should be the only time you have to pay for it.

I don't think it's that stupid.. it requires constant updates, perfecting it, maybe enhancing it so that you could type in Starbucks and have it go and fetch you a cup of coffee. I sure as ****** would pay $25 for that.

Yeah this is a reason most people won't use it I bet. Limited roads to use it on and a subscription service. Just like most people don't pay for Onstar after the trial period.

I would have had no issues paying it until dealing with this frustrating truck. I have no problem paying 25 a month for this, but they should really have considered legacy vehicles too. Heck, if I could get my adaptive cruise engaged, I would pay for updates now that make the braking less hesitant and better lka.

This is unfortunately the way of the future. Unless legislation steps in to do something about it.

But like Wiggums mentioned, it does ensure that you get consistent updates into the future. I'd rather pay the $25 and have continuing updates as opposed to not paying and having a product that never updates. Reminds me of the past when in-car Nav systems would only come pre-loaded with a certain map and it would be outdated after a few months/years when new development happened.

 

Just be thankful it's not Tesla who's charging something like $250/month for their FSD.

I don't much understand the interest in the automated driving anyways.  I would never use it.  When I drive somewhere, I like to do the driving.  Give me a decent audio system and that is all I need.

To each their own. I for one, absolutely love autonomous driving systems.

I too love to drive, but that's what I have my manual vehicles for that I can take out on the weekends.

 

But when I'm doing an hour commute each way to work in stop and go traffic...I want to kill myself. And when I've had the pleasure of using a vehicle that has autonomous driving in those conditions, it improves my quality of life dramatically lol.

Better hope it's better than Tesla's system so it doesn't run into a white semi trailer.  A few people have already been killed this way. 

 

Any idea of SuperCruise is programed to handle a flat tire?  Is the TPMS system going to work with it and pull over on a safe area so you can change it, or are you going to be forced to take control when something unexpected happens?

If this happened everybody would stop wishing for a giant earthquake to happen and sink California into the ocean.  Property values would plummet in that state, too.  I say this while in my home in California, too.

I thought I heard it was $25 a month on top of an OnStar subscription.  Can anybody confirm or deny that?

 

And I heard that GM gathers it's map data from user vehicles and then charges us to use it.  I think we should be able to charge GM to gather our vehicle's data if they're going to charge us to use it.

I have an Ultimate held through GMC at my local dealership and my main draw back with the truck is Supercruise.  I don't want it but it's standard with the package.  I still have time to decide.  My other gripes are Carbon Pro Bed(cool but I don't need it), Vader Chrome Grill(love it but why doesn't the lower grill match it), and no Panoramic sunroof...like wtf?  I am searching for a Limited F150 to check out as well.  RAM limited is amazing but I cant bring myself to buy a RAM.

Don’t use it then? That’s the point of getting the Ultimate. You get all the options. Get an SLT or Denali if you don’t want all that stuff?

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
