That has nothing to do with subscriptions. The manufacturer could still sell you the car with the heater disabled, make you drive around with the dead weight, and charge you a one-time fee to unlock it. That would be perfectly acceptable under this law.

Under this law that's fine sure. But how far do they go with this plan? Do they cost up each part of the car and allow you to use only that bit. And when you have bought enough of a car it can then serve as your transport?
The desired rule is hard to pin down though isn't it? But subscriptions, DLC, DRM etc all grate on consumers as not quite right somehow.
