    That is fucking hilarious, esp the cell service requirement for you to, you know, open and shut the doors on the vehicle.

      Requiring cell service for anything on a vehicle is an absurd “will not buy this product” requirement, even on a pure electric vehicle. I routinely (and intentionally) drive my vehicles out of cell range many times a summer.

        Many underground parking garages don’t have cell coverage. It’s really, really stupid to build a car like that

          I haven’t experienced that in a very long time, but I do remember it certainly used to be the case. I imagine it still is in some areas. I need to travel quite far from my city to experience it these days.
