My mower has a little LCD display to show battery charge and operating time (and maybe more - like I care). If I add an app to my phone, it will nag me about oil changes etc. Funny thing, in less than three years the battery is dead so the little display is dead and I could figure it out by turning the key anyway - that I do care about, but I just jump start it from the car since my battery charger has gone AWOL. Sometimes progress isn't - at least in the old days we could roll down a car window if the battery died, but a switch is usually much nicer. One bright morning when there's a big flash and nothing works I'm thinking we'll fondly remember the old days.

GM Drops Another Feature from its Full-Size trucks due to Chip Shortage

Wireless charging pads get cut

General Motors has been prioritizing production of its popular and profitable full-size pickups and SUVs as it works to manage supplies of the key components.

The automaker has already made the unusual move of eliminate two fuel-saving features from some of the vehicles – engine start/stop and cylinder deactivation – and will now remove wireless mobile device charging pads from a few SUV trims, GM Authority first reported.

Waiting on next year when the economy slows down significantly, interest rates rise, markets falter and the automakers are willing to cut deals. Flush with cash and planning on buying my first new or slightly used vehicle for me since 2008.
