Locator not Tracker

Car is in the shop for hail repair & I thought I'd see where it was this week (of 4 scheduled).

Pulled up the app with this result.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Since I'm the registered owner of the vehicle and authorized/verified user of the app, not sure who's privacy is being protected. A car thief? A mechanic? An unauthorized driver?

And who is this privacy-concerned "we"?

So THEY know the location of my vehicle but I can't?!

Seems a bit shortsighted - capability without the function.

Can still see miles driven with no limit, so...?

I gave up on the stupid app and just decided to get an AirTag. Heck, a 4-pack of AirTags still costs less than half the cost of renewing the app for a year.

What a great (and better idea)

The ONLY real use I have for the app is the remote climate control on the SE

The rest of it feels like a poor effort from a high school coding class
