In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

    Because these cost relevant money.

    Do you know why BMW proposed the subscription for the seat heating? Because it was cheaper to just build it in than to alter it repeatedely during production.

    But the board computer will be the same. Communication devices will be the same. The backend servers at KIA will be the same and running services for each car anyway.

    There is no relevant cost associated with it.
