Oh it's a forgone conclusion that owners are SOL and independent shops as well. New generation cars are locked down now to the point I have to run a real time internet connection back to the brand HQ just to scan them lol!

It concerns me greatly ! I may not work on my own cars but I do enjoy taking my car to an independent mechanic because it’s less headache to to go them then get oversold at a dealership. And I’m definitely not on board with even more nannying equipment. Specifically speaking about the impairment tech as well as the speed limiting tech. The amount of control people want to have doesn’t bode well for us…
over on rennlist bunch of porsche owners are already screaming because they can't turn off the engine oil change message.
this is painful but the system moves in the direction of "cyber security". whoever approved this is just plain stupid...

Almost like they seek ownership/control of the product the customer purchased from the day of mfg to the grave.
Like we don't notice what they're up to. Lol
Always strings attached.

Much like houses …. We eventually won’t out right own our cars either. Why of I paid for this car do o need to then turn around and pay subscriptions for half of the bells and whistles? And now you’re gonna tell me that I can’t do what I want or take my car where I want it? Ridiculous.

Oh it does. Most people will never fully utilize or get to break even on their subscriptions, so many things in life people end up buying more of them they actually need or use.

this is just the way of the world at this point and it sucks... even once simple joys in life like playing a single player video game can't be done without having an active internet connection and the console logging in first
