Given what the car costs, you'd think they'd do this out of courtesy.


It seems short-sighted to not do this as a courtesy, given the reputational hit from the Kia/Hyundai Boyz saga just a few years ago. Who wants to be a manufacturer with a reputation for making easy-to-steal cars? Who wants to (for a reasonable price) insure cars made by said manufacturer?


Exactly.


Yeah, definitely.

I have a Kia EV6, and just saying that if the same “patch” is offered for it, I won’t think twice about paying $65 for it.

I’d also not be super happy they didn’t cover it, but I saw a comment about never buying a Hyundai because of this, and not sure I’d be that upset about it.

There’s a line, for sure, but $65 wouldn’t be it, for me.
