>>526150825>Lexus, a brand owned by Toyota, has remotely deactivated the parking pre-heating function in several of its cars equipped with conventional combustion engines. The decision was taken after German authorities classified the use of this feature as unnecessary engine running and a form of avoidable exhaust pollution. To prevent users from being fined, Toyota chose to turn off the function altogether.thanks germany you stopped climate change
>>526150825i saw a random jeet (or maybe it was pakis) video recommended to me the other day. it was about how there is this industry there that slices up old rubber tires and throws them into a massive pyrolysis tank where they are super heated with fire and turned into dust. there of course were endless shots of unsafe practices both in terms of the health and safety, but also environmental. all the comments i saw were like "...and the EU doesnt like cow farts" or "meanwhile wood fired pizzas are banned in NYC"
>>526150825Green progressives in the west are dinosaurs persisting with truly ancient narratives and assumptions. So unrealistic its comedy, consider the rest of the world for one second. There has got to be 100 years in the overhang.
>>526150825Heating in winter? We don't do that in GERMANY.
>>526151032Kek, everyone knows preheating is crucial. That's why you don't buy the electrojew car.But you know what also causes pollution? Politicians embezzling money and causing traffic jams because another bridge collapsed. At least it's not them in the traffic jams because they can take their privates jet to Bratislava to eat free food and do nothing.
>>526150825How much pollution does this actually cause and does this mean that people just sit in their car longer before driving off? I know I did this morning.
>>526156064>does this mean that people just sit in their car longer before driving off? I know I did this morning.
>>526150825You all thought tossing car batteries into bodies of water was a meme
>>526151032They're obviously doing this just to be pieces of shit to the Germans and using "pollution" as a purposefully annoying lie excuse. You can see them smirking behind the words.
>>526150825WHY DON'T YOU FREEZE TO DEATH, LIKE WE DO IN GERMANY??
>>526150825Lol man modern cars are cucked to hell and back.
>>526150825Germcucks take their punches with a smile on their face, just to say they arent like us. A very shameful people
>>526156626Kek
>>526155075>Kek, everyone knows preheating is crucial.you mostly just want the computer to settle the engine and begin driving without letting it warm up forever for minimal engine wearthe most damaging portions are when the engine first starts up and is cold before getting to full operating tempI of course reject this homosexual dictat from globohomo
>>526155075Pretty sure the main driver of pollution is global trade. The top 18 container ships produce more pollution than every car on earth combined. Yet, I've never seen a single green politician campaign on ending foreign trade. Weird how that works. Imagine the thousands of container ships on our water at any given time, running constantly. Complete blind spot for these woke politicians.
>>526160011it's prettt clear they're just using "muh planet" as an excuse to usher in more commie shit. they've gotten sloppy at it too
This is why I buy Tesla
>>526161157It's that but all these politicians also have a hand in the green companies they're forcing us to subsidize. It's them voting for money to go to themselves. Every single politician needs to be removed.
>>526152206>massive pyrolysis tank where they are super heated with fire and turned into dustIndia. They have a massive problem with adulterated pyrolysis gas that destroys modern cars. They have so much trash that turning it into fuel actually causes problems for their machines.
Deactivate this, gayboy!
>tfw live in goymany>drive a 2011 diesel shitbox with croach plates>register it at home during holidays>nobody stops me because EU>DPF and EGR delet>can idle all night and drink nothingdon't drive a goy pod for starters
>>526150825>>526151032ohnoooooooooooooooooooooo i can't preheat my car how will i ever live it's literally the dark ages :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
>>526162160cold starts and immediate revs destroy engines, which in turn need new engines to be manufactured to replace them, profilerating even more 'pollution'. It's not about the planet, it's about turning you into a communist slave economic unit with zero ownership or agency.Fucking idiot.
>>526162316it only worked for the last 100 years of automobilismbut no, cars must be preheated now, suddenly, without warningwhen temperatures climb every year and winters are rareyour car freezes to deathclown world
>over-the-air botnet updateJust install Gentoo on your car.
>>526162443nigger, engines need to get up to oil temp since they were invented, especially in cold climates. Always idle for a few minutes before start and never exceed ~2.5k RPM before oil temp stabilizes or cabin heater blows warm.
>>526163602>just burn gas unnecessarily goy or else your car EXPLODESno, i don't think i will
>>526151032>remotely deactivatedSome lefty fag probably: "No the CIA can't hack your car you conspiracy theorist!"
How to prevent this, seriously speaking?
>>526162160>the happy slave
>>526163602
>>526163720>>526164118eat shit jews
Take that, Putler!
>>526164118I'm not German, shitjeet
>>526150825>Germany forces Lexus to comply with local laws than ban parking heaters>/pol/: OMG ZE GERMANS REMOTELY DEACTIVATE YOUR CAR
>>526156064>and does this mean that people just sit in their car longer before driving off?Basically, yes.
>>526162443>when temperatures climb every year and winters are rareHave you looked outside last week?
>>526165604spiritual german
>>526165856yeah but you won't sit there nearly as long as you would if you weren't in it>gotta get this temp up
>>526150825I don't know why every last citizen in the EU hasn't already risen up against their government. The eurochimp mind still doesn't comprehend that they will continue getting away with this until you, the people, put a stop to it.
>>526162160Imagine hearing the government demand you sit in well below freezing temperatures and place extra wear on your vehicle for “climate change” and taking it on the chin like a good little cuck.
>>526164036Buy a fully mechanical engine and hope the state lets you remained grandfathered in. Just don't tell normalniggers what's up. It's ok most goyim don't like "old" cars anyway so there isn't much competition, especially for something simple like a Cummins 12v, or a Ford 300 engine.
>>526150825Everyone on right wing would be perfectly happy if Goyota did that to increase their own profit.
>>526150825The make you use a paper straw but the lid is still plastic. Moreover the cup has plastic too.They attach the cap to the bottle in an annoying way but your pens are still plastic.They demand your car be turned off in winter when you want to preheat it but they don’t build nuclear plants.They don’t take the plastic out of receipt paper.All environmental measures are meant to torture you because they pick the most annoying possible measures instead of reducing plastic or energy use in reasonably unintrusive ways. Nothing to do with the environment.
more and more the powers that be are showing their hand that you need to invest in old tech
>>526150825Based. Retards who buy those gay remote controlled plastic toys deserve to have their asses frozen.
>>526165749It’s pretty much a nothing burger, just a comfort feature. Just go out and turn on the car manually and go back inside like a regular car.
>>526165902the outside when it had 10 degrees C mid january? that outside?>>526166538>extra wear on your vehiclejust as sudden cardiac arrest in children, this was never a thing in the last 100 years
>>526162316>immediate revswhich you are not supposed to do. Just like not running idle for minutes which destroys the engine as well. You start the engine and drive off. Like a normal person.
>>526150825the jews did this...
>>526163602>Always idle for a few minutes before startDude, no. You prolong the cold running phase which increases engine wear. That's wrong.
>>526167787>not running idle for minutes which destroys the engine as wellGot some proof for your claim?
Don’t worry goyim, just download the digital version of the product
>>526160011Never forget that bunker fuel is the nastiest petroleum in the world, consisting of all the residue from production and end products into one combustible sludge. The whole shithouse is built on lies.
>>526168284Yep it's basically tar and the reason why they make them switch to diesel fuel while in ports.
>>526167871What would wear the engine out more, rubbing cold steel at 2000 RPM for 3 minutes, or idling without tractive load at 400-600 RPM for 5 minutes?Besides the answer to that mechanical question, there's another legal problem.If you can't preheat your car, you can't de-ice your windows and demistify the inside of the window.You're not allowed to drive with bad vision through the windshield.In essence, Germany just gave itself a guaranteed violation of law. Either you preheat and get fined, or you pull away with frozen windows and get done for reckless driving.
>>526163336Nooo, Arch, I use Arch btwAnyway, the mapping of your car should be free to access via usb
>>526150825We don't do that in Romania
>>526168493It's just another clever tax on us goiym. I'm glad that I don't have to deal with the snow bullshit.
>>526150825Reminder that "smart" products means YOU DON'T OWN IT AND IT'S SPYING ON YOU
>>526150825WE DON'T HEAT OUR CARS IN GERMANY
>>526150825>https://simonmercieca.com/2026/01/16/when-your-car-is-no-longer-yours-how-a-remote-switch-reveals-the-future-of-control/So it's a special feature to let you idle your engine? I've never had a car where I couldn't idle it in Park or Neutral. All these electronics just make the cars stupid, sort of like 90% of Windows operating system is there to prevent you using it flexibly like Linux.
>>526155075So what is this, a car that can't idle? Or that you can't blow air toward the windshield while it's idling? How did all this become a special braindead feature?
>>526166976Toyota doesn't need any more engine failures atm. The twin turbo v6 is wrecking their reputation for reliability.
>>526150825Remotely sabotaging a vehicle you sold and received full payment for should be punishable by lynching
>>526156166Fuck off, leaf. You of all people should appreciate the time saved and comfort added by remote start.
Can you not just get in and turn it on?This sounds like they disabled remote start. You need defrost. You need to be able to run it in park to power stuff. Whenever I see the German flag here I know it’s another idiot anyway
