The Death of Ownership: Why Your Next Car Might Charge You Monthly

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast (#64), I dive into a shift that sounds crazy—but is quickly becoming reality.

Car manufacturers are moving toward a subscription-based model, where features like push-to-start, acceleration boosts, and other “premium” capabilities may require monthly payments through apps. That’s right… owning your car might not mean what it used to.

I break down what this means for everyday drivers, why companies are going in this direction, and how this could completely change the way we think about car ownership moving forward.

But while everyone is looking ahead, I found myself looking back…

I talk about one of the most interesting cars I’ve come across here in Colombia—a 1994 model that represents the exact opposite of where the industry is headed. No subscriptions. No apps. Just raw, simple driving.

This episode is about control, ownership, and whether the future of cars is actually a step backward for consumers.
