Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.
So if you spent $130k on a Tesla that came with Disney+ and then the CEO has a completely irrelevant spat with Disney and removes it 5 years later, you should be able to return it for a full refund?
If your phone gets a software update and the WiFi and Mobile Data quick-toggle disappears and is replaced by an "internet" toggle 5 years later, does that entitle you to a full refund?
Just trying to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn't be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.
That's a fair point.
