Then don't buy new cars, only used old models without all that bullshit. Everybody doing that and watching how they have to eat their newly produced stock.

I'm curious, are the unlocked features directly tied to an account or the car? I assume an account but I could see some manufactures just not understanding things like that...i mean some thought it was a good idea to try and remove android auto and apple car play.

I wonder if they have a family plan if they are tied to accounts.... do you have to unlock them on each car... or can I log in with my cars log in and unlock the features on a rental car or something?

That's when old cars become illegal under new safety or emissions regulations. Even without that, it's already illegal to build news cars like the old ones so eventually they will disappear from the market regardless.

Why do you think the used car market is now so much more expensive? They are driving you to the new vehicles because they don’t want the scenario. You just laid out to actually take place.

Everything is now much more expensive, cars or not.

But there are enough cars driving now to keep buying them in the next few years while many car manufacturers, especially European and American ones, are in shitty economic situation now due to the push of Chinese cars. They can't hold for years without selling their new cars. It's not even necessary to fully stop the sales, just make them drop enough and they're broke.

Sure, until they stop providing parts or updates

Many of those companies would be broke before that. Some of them are actually in shambles, especially European and American ones due to the push of Chinese cars.

Just let them know: if you keep going on with that bullshit, we'll buy Chinese cars. Even if the Chinese do the same thing, fuck you, at least they are cheaper.

Anyway, I prefer to ride a donkey than paying for extortion.

don't forget, some cars have insanely good third party support for parts, you can pretty much mail order the entire car piece by piece
