Louis Rossmann made a video on it, and something that came to mind while I was watching it was that while regulation can in fact be abused, I think some regulation has to be in place because a company that can charge whatever it wants for a car doing this just for the sake of control is awful. Do we really own the things we buy, or do the corporations?
I know in the EU, they have a lot more laws/regulations about warranties and other R2R shit, I just want to be able to fix the shit I own by myself without the company hindering me from doing so because they want to treat me like a leasee while charging me purchase prices.
Edit: Starting in South Korea, but very concerned that it could be brought here considering horse armor started the gaming industry’s bullshit.
Another wrinkle is every major news outlet report I read implied you have to subscribe for a year at a time, but "brobible" (idk what that is) makes it clear you can subscribe for individual months, so you could just pay $36 for the heart of winter if you want.
That's not really bad compared to a crappy Amazon/Chinese heated seat overlay that looks and feels like crap, that you have to unplug when not in use, and could catch fire at any minute.
