Field notes
AfterSticker classifies vehicle features by whether they remain included, enter a trial-then-paywall state, have a phone workaround, or become unusable without a plan. Its proposed five-year calculation includes connected services such as navigation, remotes, Wi-Fi, hands-free driving, and SOS. The project currently starts with 2025–2026 vehicles and says coverage of printers, appliances, and other paywalled hardware may follow.
