    Did you buy the car under the impression that it has more power than it has?

    I agree that you should be able/allowed to unlock it yourself but I assume at time of purchase it was advertised with the correct value of horsepower available. So, you still own what you bought. Nobody is forced to buy the „upgrade“, are they?

      So, you own most of the car. This would bother me, personally, and I know that this will be normalized thanks to apologists.

        You are right. If you really own the car you should be able to use all of it, even if the manufacturer sold it to you under false performance claims.

        I was hung up on the fact that in my understanding the existing customer still has the same product they originally purchased that I missed the point of what ownership should really mean. I never agreed with this practice but I was missing the point by arguing the wrong argument in my previous comment (and in another comment chain).
