I'm amazed that it's legal for a car company to sell you something, and then after you own it, remotely disable xyz aspects of the functionality unless you pay them more. How can that be legal? I own the car, it's MINE now, how can I not use every single thing that's in it?
Unless you pay them more every month. Not everything needs to be a subscription and they'll keep doing it unless people stop buying.
