The shift toward a subscription-based model is harmful to consumers as it deprives them of true ownership and control over the products they pay for.

“Ownership is one of the most fundamental components of living a fruitful real human life. I mean, it's the literal American dream. The the the house with the white picket fence and all that. And the assumption is that you would own the house and the fence.”

Charging subscription fees for hardware features that do not provide advanced technological services is unreasonable.

“Rossman's point was, you know, it's one thing if the subscription fee unlocks some kind of advanced technology like self-driving or auto parking that the customers couldn't realistically implement on their own. People can tolerate that and people people do tolerate it all the time.”
