Been doing it for years. I’ve been refusing to pay to update onboard nav systems for at least a decade.

This is why putting a cell phone in every car is a horrible mistake.

I feel like there's a market out there for a no-frills, easy to work on, economic vehicle that promises never to have crap like that. No crazy computer stuff, no services, no updates. Just a car. But then I'm a Linux user.

Would be real nice if the car manufacturers start to rent-seek themselves out of business and we can finally get some decent, uncomplicated public transit in this country.

Ford realized they could do that shortly after they launched FordPass, then realized later that nobody would be willing to pay for it because it has almost no actual value.

It's not retroactive. It was in the disclosures and window sticker.

What happens when someone dies because of a glitch that removes the feature while driving? Also, I believe that all cars should be air gapped for anything other than their entertainment systems for safety. (Air-gapping the radio is silly)

i saw an ad for a buick that boldly advertised the remote internet start thing on their car but the tiny text said you only got a month free and then you'd have to pay

knew it, there had to be a catch for how crazy 2020 chassis have been looking lately
