Don't waste time trying to get those stubborn car owners to pay for maintenance. Just let the car take care of that.
ETA: Reading the article, I think the headline is a bit misleading. The part is preorders to the dealership. You get a notice of the issue and are encouraged to make a service appointment. Not quite the same as tagging your bank account for an unapproved purchase.
And I though OnStar was annoying.
Just wait until they reach the next level of self awareness….
“Along with the wiper blades, I also ordered myself a set of new rims, and made an appointment to have myself detailed.”
Perhaps we should change the model from purchasing the car to licensing the car, like we do software. Instead of the loan ending after 3, 4, or 5 years, you just make a monthly payment as long as you use the car.
Related to this - there has been a low-level push for governments to tax vehicles based on the number of miles they drive. The existing gas tax already does this (albeit indirectly), but some governments want to go further. One of the practical difficulties with this plan is knowing how many miles a person actually drives (would it be self-reported? would you have to install special equipment?), but as cars get off-board networking capability, this will get easier.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Harsh, perhaps... but I will be ordering my Tesla after Stephanie takes delivery of hers. I have "the day after never" penciled in for this.
Why the hate? Genuinely curious, I understand Tesla is polarizing, and have no dog in the fight.
Taking a break from social media.
Regarding the original article, this would simply help to ensure that parts are in stock for maintenance and repairs so that there is not a waiting period. This fits right into Tesla's plan of making AI useful for the vehicle owners convenience. The vehicle would not be ordering parts and charging them to your account without your consent. The article title is simply there for clickbait reasons.
In regards to owning a Tesla vehicle. I have one and it is the best car I've ever owned. It is extremely fast, instantly responsive, has amazing handling, and is the safest car on the road. On top of all that I never have to visit a gas station because I can charge it at my home each night. And with the advances in their AI infrastructure it is getting better with each monthly software update.
It is one of those cars that once you drive one you will never buy anything else.
