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 ?

    I think the term you mean is old car especially from before 2018
    in the end old cars basically open source you can modified it whatever you want as long as not breaking regulations

        Nissan Leafs are plenty DIY repairable. It was part of our decision making process when considering buying an EV. There’s also electric conversions if that’s your jam.

      Some of us want all the internet connected options. And want to own their machine and have good security

      Open source car software and firmware would do that
