Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

    “Front left tyre is fucked.” “Your fucking trunk is open.”

    Now that I would not mind having shown when starting the car.

      Actually the bastard won’t tell you what specific tire. Just that one of them has low air pressure.

      Kind of a dick move since there’s no way the computer can’t tell which tire it is when they’re four separate sensors.

        Mine will tell me the measured pressures of all tires. But only if at least one is low. I haven’t found a way to get it to just tell me the pressure in any tire if it’s not throwing an error at me.

        Dear Mazda, you have a full user interface in your vehicle. Why can’t you let me see the tire pressure from just a menu option?
