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.
Like power steering, power windows, the A/C, the radio, etc. The technology is there for them to deactivate the features. I guess the way they look at it is why not? "That way we can make even more $$ by continuing to enable these features because we have the technology to deactivate them. We can extort $$ from all our customers."
Hey - whatever..................
