You own your car but do you own every service your car is capable of? Your car is capable of picking up signals from SiriusXM radio, should that be free too? Your car has a 4G connection built in, should it allow unlimited data for free? My sister's minivan has screens in the back seats with a Netflix app, should Honda give every car a free Netflix subscription?

You own your car but you rent the GPS tracking service. This person chose not to rent that service and therefor is not entitled to the benefits of it.

Manufacturers should start implementing subscription models for functions like AC because they’ve added smart controls and those have server costs associated with them.
