I’ve never been in a Tesla, but I’m imagining that the UI inside could (if it doesn’t already) serve up an advertisement whenever Tesla wants. I mean, what’s another distraction? I’d also assume the charging stations played ads whether one wanted them to or not, just like some gas pumps, but I suppose since charging takes a lot longer no one would just hang around the charger (OTOH what’s one more piece of noise pollution?)

Simone Giertz, awesome YouTuber of “shitty robots” fame, once shocked a bunch of advertisers when she told them (quoting from memory) “Nobody likes ads. They’re all like finding your dog has shit on the floor. The good ads are like finding he’s shit on the linoleum and not the carpet.”
