Yeah. This is how I feel too. I think eventually there will be enough lobbying that you'll be forced to take your car to a dealer for regular maintenance, but it'll mostly be a scam to generate recurring revenue. They'll sell it as a safety issue, but it'll be closer to charging you an exorbitant amount of money to rotate the tires and check the fluid levels.

Between that and DLC style options, they'll price anchor everything so the only option that makes any economic sense is to lease. Watch for 2nd and 3rd owner leasing options in the next 20 years IMO.

You mean what the Simpsons had a gag on in Season 10?
