In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

Well instead using e-bike why not purchase an old car (from year 2000 - 2018), like old honda civic or old ford fiesta or old Toyota Corolla
I like your idea but using bike for everything but in the end is bad case especially if you need to go somewhere that very far (well using public transportation in the end kinda costly for longer run especially if you already married & have children)
I'm not saying it's wrong to have bike for short trip it's okay yo used bike, but in the end you need reliable car that can make you go everywhere

If you are stuck in a place that actually requires a car then this makes sense. Between the two you'll save a ton of money.

In the long term though vehicle to vehicle communication will be required for all cars on the road. You will have (probably property) computer in your car controlling it. Unless you go back to like the 80's or something you'll still have a proprietary computer in your car that will need to be replaced.

But even getting a bike for occasional trips prepares you for gas prices spiking or your car breaking down.
