In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

That also means the car gets a lot cheaper because of the recurring subscription model right? Right?

I wonder how they're planning on competing to Tesla like this. They basically give all these things for free in their app/car.

( Not to Tesla fanboy or anything ). But if you can pick between a car that gives you all this stuff compared to one that charges you monthly for it.....

Even though putting money in Elon's pocket is something I'd rather avoid

You wouldn't download a car would you? 🤣

Directed or viper smart-start.... Same thing but $60 a year, and can be retrofitted into some really old cars.

Problem is with the increasingly non-standardized designs, it's just not realistic to build a module for every car that's out there.
