People buying vehicles that have LTE connections and then complaining about connectivity problems deserve exactly what they get.
it's getting hard to not get that. Anything that's onstar capable still calls home even if you don't pay for the service, you just don't get the benefit from it
Don't buy new cars then? Not like there's a shortage of used cars in the world. It's better to prevent waste anyway.
My car is 12 years old, but it's getting hard to find certain parts. I still need it because I don't live in a bikeable world. I've spent 5G over the past two years just on suspension/radiator. It's not the kind of card that goes 250k
Is it really though? While few new vehicles are "cell-less", countless relatively new used vehicles are not only "unplugged" but also less than 1/2 the price of the identical "new" version of that model.
it is NOT curently a buyers market for used cars. To get 1/2 the price you're getting something that's already worn out and around the age of unreliable.
What are you talking about? Yes it is hard. The companies make more money selling the data about you than the cell subscription.
