I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
The Tesla works just fine without the app on your phone? You get a card that works as a key and don't need a phone at all.
I'm assuming opening the car remotely means when you're not near the car ( e.g.: at the office while that car is at home ). The touchscreen function isn't nearly as horrible as you make it out to be, while I do agree a physical button is more practical in some cases.
Hyundai/Kia have also had their fair share of recent car troubles with recalls because they spontaneously catch fire wether you're driving them or not.
Having said that I don't really have an opinion on the brands. I know some people who drive it around and they all seem quite satisfied with the car. I'm sure they're great cars :)
The jab @kia was only in jest. There are other brands who want to use subscriptions for things like seat heating, ... Which I find a fecking awful evolution ( I'm looking at you bmw ).
IIRC you can also control it with the steering wheel without using the touch display as well.
If you press the button on the handle to trigger the wipers once. It will also bring up the menu on the screen ( bottom left ). You can then use the right wheel button on your steering wheel by pushing it left or right to move between off and auto with all the different speeds in between ( slower being near off and fast being near automatic ).
Source: I had a Tesla company car. Some things worked well. Other times the car felt quite cheap for being that expensive ( mainly interior and finishing ). The car paint seemed a lot thinner compared to European cars too. ( Company cars are common where I live, I'm not a rich big ass CEO )
Alternatively you can use the voice control as well apparently. I've only used the voice to initiate calls though
