Hank Green·Car Reviews & AutomotiveShould I Sue Hyundai?
TL;DR
Hank Green rants that Hyundai's Ioniq 5 forces drivers to read a subscription ad for Blue Link ($10/month) while driving, then plays Connections.
Key Points
- 1.Hyundai displays a mandatory legal disclaimer every single time you start the car. Hank argues this is pointless since drivers already know traffic laws, and not all car companies do it, proving it's optional not legally required.
- 2.The Blue Link activation screen is an in-car advertisement disguised as a setup prompt. It promotes a $10/month subscription service and appears while driving, requiring the driver to look away from the road to dismiss it.
- 3.There is no 'ignore forever' button — only 'Later,' burying the opt-out in settings. To stop the screen, users must navigate to Blue Link Settings and disable the activation help display, a multi-step process Hank only completed on camera.
- 4.Hank argues there should be laws against in-car advertising and drive-time text walls. He believes legislation should prohibit car manufacturers from displaying walls of text or ads that interfere with driving, separate from existing distracted-driving rules.
- 5.After discovering the $10/month cost, Hank finally navigated to settings and disabled the Blue Link screen. He credits viewers as his 'executive function,' joking he might have left it on for years otherwise.
- 6.Hank plays NYT Connections and nearly fails the bra category (wireless, plunge, push-up, sports). He correctly identifies exercises (plank, crunch, push-up, calf raise) and young animals (kit, chick, fry, calf) but misses the bra types, finishing four out of five.
