“Ford is now also charging monthly subscription fees for products or services that used to be free”
You used to be able to buy the complete car outright. Now they are only selling a portion of it. What is next? You only own the engine 5 years, then you have to buy a replacement current emission compliant one?
I traded in a 2008 model year car I had for 16 years. It came with satellite radio, AC, and heat. That was it. If you want stuff like remote start you pay the man after the freebee subscription runs out.
