Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription

Insurance and taxes declarations are going to be fun! Either you’ll have to pay for the actual power of the engine (that you don’t actually use), or you’ll need to modify the documents after unlocking the feature.

What happens when you sell the car? Does it go back to factory features?

In older Tesla Model 3s if you sold it back to Tesla they’d revert it, but if you sold it private it wouldn’t be reverted.

I already said - But it’s gotta be a 1 time purchase and is lifetime of the car.

or you’ll need to modify the documents after unlocking the feature.

Usually when you unlock something it increases the value of the vehicle, and you need to let insurance know or the extra value won’t be covered. This is already pretty normal in any kind of insurance.
