As much as I hate what it will do to the used car market we as a people need to stop buying these new cars. Like actually make it a shameful act to even be in one of these distopian devices. People love to bully and be outraged, why not point it to something like this that can be agreed on and is not hard to fix?

People want the newest shiniest thing. Cars are no longer tools, but status symbols. And people absolutely will not give up status.

Yeah, that is why shame works so well here. Status does not work to sell if is the status is negative.
