Imagine having a car that the manufacturer one day just declares that you can’t put gas in anymore.

To get gas you’d have to cut a hole into your car so you can sneak some in bypassing the inlet. But you can’t go to real gas stations anymore so you have to get gas in a back alley from some random guy.

That's something existing for a lot of agricultural machinery, and we can bet they dream to do it and maybe some brand are planning it for our cars.
