Alexa is gone from infotainment system and google store.

I recently impulse purchased my first GM vehicle in my near 70 years as a consumer. It's a wonderful GMC Sierra EV Denali. It's a splurge, for this old grandpa of 9 grandkids. I mention the grandkids because there is a gang-of-4 granddaughters that are almost daily climbing into my trucks and they were a bit surprised to see Pawpaw show up with the new electric truck. But as soon as they discovered it had Alexa riding along just like Pawpaw's other truck, all was well. 

I have countless cherished memories of these little ones controlling the environment from the back seat by commanding Alexa as their personal disc jockey, as well as all kinds of hilarity with questions asked of Alexa to settle debates. 

I could go on with many examples or stories that apply, but I think I've made the point. 

What a dissapointing thing to find out. At some point the software on the truck will be UPDATED(?), only to discover it's not an enhancement or improvement. At least not in the experience of those 4 little girls opinion. :(

Fortunately Pawpaw still has his 2022 F150 KingRanch Powerboost. I can almost guarantee which truck they will prefer to go to the park or the campground in. And honestly? My current priorities in life will have me choosing what they prefer over my desire to drive my latest & greatest.
