It's not free labor, they already got paid for it. They just fucked it up the first time.
Nope. It requires new hardware installed.
They will also be charging elevated dealership prices for thag labor.

I think you significantly overestimate people’s expectations for automobiles.
I'm not talking about individuals' expectations for how long they personally will use a given vehicle, but rather societal expectations for how long a given vehicle will live across all tiers of the market. The cell phone made-to-be-ewaste model shouldn't be allowed to infect capital assets costing 100x as much.

This is why, back when I owned a Jeep, I never locked it. Figured if someone wanted the 85 cents in change that badly I'd rather they not take a knife to my (plastic) windows.
The "Kia Boyz" saga was primarily motivated by theft of the vehicle itself, not the contents of the vehicle.

I don't even like Hyundai. What's "unrealistic and childish" is expecting free labour.
It seems like you don't like Hyundai. What's childish is your resort to ad hominem because you disagree. It's not free labor anymore than the car was free. It's a fix of product that was defective off of the line. The necessity of the fix being evidence of the defect. Car buyers are not automotive cybersecurity engineers, and they can never be expected to be. Caveat Emptor is a hilarious remark for this situation.

Yes, and the scrappage rate is about 4.5%. A 40 year old car is not the norm.

I understand that development costs are not free, and there's extra hardware involved, but IMO they should take this as marketing cost.
Yeah, I considered an ionic the last time I was getting a car. Now I’ll never again consider them.

I don't think the patch is hardware. The hardware they're talking about is the "Gameboy like device" that runs the exploit.
> The Verge now reports that Hyundai is offering a security patch for this issue through software and hardware upgrades to Ioniq 5 customers. You do a hardware upgrade on the car to patch the vulnerability.
