I just learnt this in the last few months.

We got a Rav4 Prime and I had only put gas in it for the first time for our normal drive two weeks ago.

What a pain in the ass and it was only a few minutes for the detour.

    So the bogus connection fee is 'gone' and now they are testing the waters with stuff like this?

    How long before you can't phone people with the $8 Monthly Security unless you also pay for the $8 Monthly Security?

    Most EVs and Hybrids don't have a direct hydraulic connection between the brake pedal and the wheel cylinders when everything is healthy.

    There is an accumulator that gets pressurized when you press the brake pedal and then it blends between dynamic and hydraulic brakes as needed.

    First time I'm hearing about this. Looks very neat. I really only have Google Maps for the timeline so I will have to selfhost this and try this out soon.

    So we're back to CDMA ESN times?

    It was only a matter of time before eSIM turned back into bogus fees for the providers.

    The only benefit I see to eSIM is a thief can't take it out easily. Everything else seems like dealing with ESNs again.
