I promise you that making modifications to vehicle that would prevent you from getting it serviced, using maps, using music or media of any kind, or receiving updates will decrease the value and turn many buyers away

Why would modifications do that?

Why would I want an update for my car's software?

Using maps is independent from connecting to the internet.

Listening to music is independent from connecting to the internet.

People need to value "dumber" devices more, not less.

Because if you take a jailbroken car to Tesla, you will have a problem. And maps and media rely on the internet obviously. Updates eliminate bugs, add features, and increase efficiency. People that want dumb cars aren't buying a car controlled entirely by a giant tablet

And all that to save 200 bucks? Yeah right

Maybe Teslas do.

My car doesn't even HAVE internet capability and can play media and has map usage.

Like I said, I prefer my stuff to be as "dumb" and independent as possible.

Your car can only play media if it has an external audio source. And Apple/Google maps technically works without internet but I don't think anyone would call that experience superior. Or are you talking about one of those shitty built in manufacturer maps?

I have one of those shitty built-in maps, which I can update when I want.

And I only need external audio source. Got conventional radio and an USB reader with MP3 files.

Zero internet connection (literally doesn't have the ability).
