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 ?
New cars have magically new never-die batteries, never puncture tires, radiators that never crack, pipes that never split or come loose, etc now?! Holy cow, why haven’t we heard about this before?!
Are you spending 50k on new vehicles? Have you ever bought a brand new car? Are you commenting on a sub brought together buy a common thread of stealing content?

True, I suppose I’d have to see how comprehensive their road side policy is to make a decision there.
But for the rest of it, a handful of API calls? Certainly not worth it.
