good. software locks are anti human and anti consumer. everyone inherently feels ripped off by them, but the more capitalist minded think 'oh that's the company's right to do'
if it's my property in my house I can fuck with it to do whatever I want
So you think you should be able to pay for a base model and get all the features of the top of the line model? Try that at a Toyota dealership and let me know how that goes.
I think that if they're letting those cars go out the factory door with the parts for heated rear seats, then I own those too, and I'll do with them what I please.
and if they softlock it they should pay a price for taking up space and load that you didn't ask for.
