I'm currently imagining a nightmare scenario where those gas station tv ads are playing inside of the car. I sincerely hope that day never comes.

> gas station tv ads

I've been driving EVs for the past 10 years (LEAF -> Model X -> I-PACE) during which time I haven't used a gas pump. After reading your comment I had to go searching for this thing about ads playing while you're filling up. I found this Reddit post about being forced to watch ads before being allowed to even start the pump!

Oh. My. God. I'm disappointed. Not surprised. But disappointed.

> playing inside of the car

Yeah, that's definitely going at the top of my list of car "misfeatures" that would make me run screaming to another brand.

Speed = 0, Display Ad = True?

Goddamn, I don't want this post to be a screenshot for someone to point out that we can see the future.

Speed=0,Fuel_Cap=OFF,Display_Ad=True. - well, if anyone is going to get it first, its those Tesla owners lol.
I was thinking more of running the ad at a red light but yeah...
