I'll never buy a car that has subscription features
Until they force you. Like how pretty much all new housing developments have oppressive HOAs now.
The day when the only options are subscription based cars will be the day jailbreaking your car is as common as jailbreaking an iphone.
I am so happy to live in a non-HOA neighborhood...
It's a choice to live there. And you have a choice on how you spend your money. No one is holding a gun to your head making you buy a shitty car.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not because that is an awful argument. The housing market isn’t this perfectly liquid thing where there’s always another house to choose from that fits all your requirements a reasonable distance from your workplace.
