Here to stay. In fact, Tesla (and I think BMW?) has previously deactivated options that you purchased if you end up selling the car. Not pay-as-you-go items, either. You bought the car, paid for the option like you would on any other car, but you sell the car, and they deactivate it.
No different (IMO) than a SiriusXM subscription or updating your onboard GPS with the latest maps. To update my wife's GPS it's over $350 and I don't know what she's paying for SiriusXM radio every year?? Apps and data are no longer free, yeah it's a new world. Used to get TV for free too (I think local still is free???), damn that DirecTV bill just won't go away every month.
