Tucker Carlson caused a stir in a recent interview that may cause some Americans to do a double take on the vehicles they are driving.
During an interview with automotive designer and internet personality Casey Putsch last week, Tucker mentioned that he is a lifelong fan of Chevrolet trucks but felt he had to “immediately” sell his latest one after spotting a disturbing message on the car’s dashboard.
“I bought a truck last year…A Chevy truck, which I’ve always had, and I was at a gas station, he said. “And all of a sudden at a gas station, it says, ‘Stop, we’re downloading information from the internet.’”
“While you were driving?” Putsch asked.
“No, I was stopped,” Tucker replied. “I sold the car immediately. I brought it back and sold it.”
“They want all your data to provide to insurance companies to wreck your life, I’m sure,” Putsch responded.
“Insurance companies will be the downfall of cars and driving. I can guarantee it.”

A GM spokesperson issued the following response to The Daily Mail following Tucker’s remark:
We do not have vehicle prompts worded in this way, however, what may have appeared is a standard software update for features like navigation and music, similar to a smartphone.
While connectivity offers many benefits for convenience and entertainment, customers have the option to turn it off at any time.
Ironically, Tucker last year bought his 1987 Chevy Silverado and revealed the car’s lack of technology was a prime appealing factor to him:
“There are no electronics in this. There’s no air conditioning, there’s no radio, and there’s no way for the government to turn off my engine if I’m disobedient,” he said at the time.
“So that’s what I drive. I like it.”
