@sullybiker it's pretty much going to be everywhere.

Driver tracking, probably will be mandatory for insurance, if it isn't already.

It's a treasure trove for the nefarious.

@onepict It surprised me it comes with a builtin wireless cellular system; they give you a year free then if you want to be able to access it, you have to subscribe. But I assume it never stops phoning home.

@sullybiker I do not like this. You can't opt out and pretty soon it's going to be impossible to get a vehicle without one.

We're just going to be using our old tractor at this rate.

@sullybiker we've an old Massey, very little electronics.

I could just sit in our back bucket while my husband drives, 🤣

@onepict With the biggest hat you can find, and a parasol, I hop.
