This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It's a battery. You put it in the car, and it powers it. How much support does the manufacturer need to provide that can't be baked into the initial cost?
gestures around Products as a service in general isn't needed, but it's done anyways. Single player games don't need to be always-online and subscription-based. Same with movies. Same with cars. But in the world we live in, everything is becoming X-as-a-service. In this case, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they purposely built in a chip that would disable or otherwise limit the battery unless the ~~purchaser~~ client continued paying the subscription fee.
