The difference being that my previous car lasted near 15 years, and it was paid off in 7. Why would you want to pay a yearly fee after you're supposed to own the car, free and clear?
I'll save us the back and forth: there is no model you can present (or reframing of a model) that will make me think advertisements (or an everlasting subscription to remove advertisements) in the car that I own is okay. It's profoundly depressing that I have to write it out that explicitly.
I mean, this is still awful, right? Subscriptions for the car I spent tens of thousands of dollars on?

It's awful here, too, in my opinion. But tolerable because I didn't spend multiple years paying to own the product.
