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 Reminds me of the past when in-car Nav systems would only come pre-loaded with a certain map and it would be outdated after a few months/years when new development happened.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?

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
