In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?

    That’s farther than a cell phone. A cell phone might get 3 miles maybe more if you have the high ground. It’s a lower frequency and therefore has a longer range. There are both public and private gateways for LoRa. So you can use it even if you don’t own or operate a gateway.

      Maybe you misunderstood me. My car can be in New York City and I’m in Los Angeles and I can check it’s location and lock/unlock the doors

        I don’t think you’re understanding networking. You’re not connecting directly to your car, your going through an immense network. The range of Lora is longer than cell phones, so in theory at least you should be more connected than you would be with black out spots on the cell network. The range is just how far your car and device have to be from a Lora gateway.
