So, people need to pay monthly, or their car catches fire?
Cool beans. What will they think of next?
They're already planning to have self-driving cars drive themselves to impound if you miss a payment. I suppose they could do that for plenty of other reasons, too. Like if you modify the car in some way against TOS, or if they decide they want it back to add to their fleet of robotaxis because that would be more profitable for them.
No..not Toyota too..
Is it related to the problem where those cars would randomly catch fire?
Anything you can add over the air, I stangely don't want.
Toyota's gonna down the shitter too.
What are we left with? Any decent brands left?

The car industry will succeed in killing the car industry.
no no no no Toyota too
No Toyota for me then, gotcha.
add a cooling function for the electronic control system of their car
Wtf even is this? Does the control system normally overheat? Is it a confusing way of talking about cabin cooling?
Just watch a video about how brands like Nike and JC Penney killed themselves. The first way was abandoning one's own brand by chasing a competitor's advantage and losing your identity. That's what Toyota will be doing here.
Jailbreak your phone then jailbreak your car and use the features that are already there just locked behind a pay wall.
That shit should be outlawed and right of first sale (yet again) enshrined in law.
This sort of bullshit is why I will never buy a new car again. Manual everything from 15+ years ago or GTFO!
New cars spy on you, nickle and dime you, and have incredibly dangerous touchscreen interfaces that require you to ignore the road to do basic shit.
I reveal a disgust to Toyota.
"How could we have a worse reputation than Tesla?", they apparently asked themselves
Wouldn't it be crazy if people would actually not buy those models to show Toyota it's BS? But Americans have zero willpower. They do it with the iPhone almost every year, it barely changes, they complain, then buy it anyways.
