    My new car had a whole Wikipedia worth of terms and conditions in the screen that had to accept before turning on for the first time.

    There was no alternative other than “accept” or “leave the car at the dealership and pay the most expensive parking in the world forever”.

      The fact that they can sell you a car without having to give you all of the terms and conditions is kinda nuts. Imagine if you went to buy a house and they just went “Nuh uh, pay first, we give you all the HOA rules and city ordinance laws you have to follow afterwards. What is in them? It’s a mYsTeRy!”.
