This is a major feature of nearly all cars now. Dealerships can remotely track and disable cars when people fall behind on their payments. That's because so many people fall behind on payments nowadays, they need easy mechanisms for dealing with it. America is cooked.

This should indocate to everyone that you cannot rely on any car to work that has this capability.

So here's the neat part! They just make it so that you technically are renting the car and so they can brick it up all they want since technically they own the vehicle!

same with the F-35s sold to other countries. and those cost a lot more than even a cybertruck. imagine it being disabled mid-flight. probably entirely possible.
