It's not beyond most rational people's thinking that whilst updates are free now, largely as an incentive to buy for the most part quite expensive vehicles (certainly measurably more expensive than an equivalent ICE model in a manufacturer's range), it is highly likely updates become an ongoing, and increasing cost factor in terms of TCO.
It's putting a heck of a lot of trust to believe updates will remain free and let's face it, some manufacturers have mislead us in the past eg diesel emissions
