  I’m sure that’s very comforting to the people who just wanted to get in their car and go to work.

    Bricked usually means beyond repair. The device is worth the same as a brick, as it is worthless exactly because it can’t be repaired.

      If I had a car that had suddenly stopped working due to a careless update, I’d want it to be bricked so I could make the manufacturer pay for a different fucking car.

      The fact it was disabled to begin with is enough for me to pass on a jeep.

        For me that’s no different than anything else Stelantis.

      Anyone even accidentally remote disable my car, even if fixable, can go fuck themselves. Not interested, pass.
