I've never seen a car like this. Mine was made in 2021 though so I must have caught the last ~~ship~~ car out lol. What kind of things do cars even use the internet for? I'm struggling to imagine it
To add, my vehicle (2011) has its date display (as in the date & time) no longer accurate because it's somehow integrated with the GPS, which has since stopped updating the date, and cannot be set manually. I now keep a little clock in my car that has the date on it to make up for the loss. It's not that big of a deal compared to what others have mentioned, but it was still a shock to me when I found it.
Wow that sucks… in my car the time is off by an hour half the year because I never bother to update it for daylight savings. I assume it keeps a timer running somewhere to keep it on track
I'd be out of my mind, too, if the time was off. Luckily, I can set the time. It's just the date that's fully auto / out of my hands.
Honestly I barely look at the car time. I usually use Apple drive or Android Auto
