Mercedes holds performance hostage behind paywall/subscription model

Mercedes-Benz will soon, metaphorically at least, snatch the performance of your new car off the street in broad daylight to be held for ransom - behind a paywall subscription model. You'd better find US$1200 in non-sequential notes and await further instructions. Oh, and don't think about calling the FBI. This is a hostage negotiation.
