Porsche cars bricked in Russia

Oh! Eck, Hundreds of “connected” Porsche cars have been bricked due to satellite connected cars stopping working, It’s only happened within Russian so maybe it’s the car’s version of falling out of a window after Germany upset Putin. :sweat_smile:

“Hundreds of Porsche’s across Russia were completely bricked recently due to a mysterious satellite security system malfunction. The exact cause of the problem is still being investigated, and while there is no evidence that it was a deliberate attack, some say it’s a possibility.”

The first sentence kinda says it all…
‘‘Unnecessarily tech filled’’ …

Or ‘‘Tech for Tech’s sake’’ in other words.

I’m all for progress but in that context, (and especially on trucks) I personally absolutely 'kin hate it.:face_with_symbols_on_mouth:
(Before anybody jumps in, no that does not mean I want to go back to Sed Atks and Ford Cortinas.:roll_eyes: )

It looks like the advocators of this type of crap have had it come back and bite them on their arses in this particular case…good enough for em.

LOL I like techy stuff, but I agree it can & will come back to bite you in the ‘arris. Wait til SDV (software defined vehicles) become the norm. :sweat_smile:
