Have you seen the automotive industry as of late? This isn’t a EV issue nor is it really new. We’ve had things like OnStar for years and the entire industry has started to chase the gaming industry’s microtransaction BS for a while now.

The future looks like a potential live service hell scape for the auto industry EV or otherwise.

Everything is being ruined. It feels like hyperbole but I’m not sure it is.

Yes, I know it’s industry wide. What I’m saying is that with EV being the future of cars I don’t want them all to be subscription based.
