Survey: Owners frustrated when linking phones to vehicles

I won't buy any vehicle with the ability to phone-home to the maker or dealer.

Makers have been failing for years with all their tech additions. When you go shopping for a new vehicle, get them to show with detailed steps how to completely wipe your accounts and data 100% from the vehicle and all remote servers. BTW, they cannot. It isn't possible. For extra fun, bring 2 phones and have them prove that this wipe and handoff actually work. Before and after the test drive. You'll see.

You shouldn't be using your phone while driving anyway. Who cares about gas guzzling US meatwagons either.

J.D. Power said the brand can't be ranked against others in the survey because unlike other manufacturers, Tesla doesn't allow J.D. Power to survey owners in 15 states where an automaker's permission is required.

Interesting, I didn't know that and am surprised that Tesla have the right to tell their customers who they can and cannot talk to.

Anyone surprised Chevy finished last? I always get a good laugh watching "Zebra Corner" on YouTube.

If your best score is 85 problems per 100 units shipped, the entire sector must have rubbish quality checking. That is an appalling score. Do they even bother to test them?
