Scheduled auto start for the win!

I guess that depends on what you mean by "smart car". It's a 2021 Ford and the app let's me do scheduled starts. Turns on the steering wheel and seat warmers too.

Oh wow. Cool. I don't personally keep up to date with current car tech.

new cars aren't cool bro you have the subscription service ford lmao

[–] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Ford surprisingly is one of the few that don't do this. At least for what I have anyways, but it's not base model.

The only thing I'll have to pay for to continue using is the GPS in another year or so. The app itself is free but pretty limited in overall functionality. Remote start, lock unlock, check tire pressure and oil life.

They only complaint I have is the damn windows take forever to thaw the seal enough to roll down unless I pull them back a little.

Inb4 someone turns their seatwarmers on in the garage, goes to eat breakfast, walks into the garage and gasses themself
