It's not even extra to unlock in some cases. They want a monthly subscription. They want you to own nothing. They want you to "license" your car from them and then turn your shit off if you miss a payment.

It's all rent seeking bullshit and I'll ride the terrible public transit instead of buying another car if those are my options the next time I go to buy a car.
