Tucker Carlson decided to swap out his American-made pickup after spotting a terrifying warning.
Carlson is a noted fan of Chevrolets, saying he’s ‘always had’ the brand, even having expressed his love of 1987 Silverado having no electronics last year.
During a recent interview, the conservative commentator said he was filling his Chevy truck’s gas tank when a startling message flashed across the infotainment screen.
‘All of a sudden at a gas station, it says, “Stop, we’re downloading information from the internet,”‘ he claimed in during an interview with gearhead Casey Putsch.
‘I sold the car immediately. I brought it back and sold it.’
Neither Chevy nor Carlson’s reps responded to Daily Mail’s request for comment on the video.
The disturbing claim follows reports of auto manufacturers sharing data with brokers and insurance companies.
A New York Times investigation revealed that several major brands — including GM, Chevy’s parent company — were tracking driver habits deemed unsafe.
