John Legere built up a lot of good will over the years with customers (which has been very good for the profits and share price) by not doing all of the shady crap that AT&T and Verizon were doing, with hidden fees and all of that nonsense, but all of that good will can vanish in an instant if they start behaving badly.

Unfortunately, John retired several years ago.  This is all on the new CEO reneging on their previous "price lock guarantee".

IModern car can be tracked via their own app without using AirTag. On the other hand and In Germany, if a Mercedes car owner misses several car payments, the dealer will track the car location down and tow it away. A win-win.

Unfortunately, the vehicle tracking info is only available to vehicle owners for as long as they maintain the relevant service sold by the manufacturer.  For many, there's an initial "free" period, but owners must pay for it after that expires.  I presume that the manufacturers still have access to it regardless of whether the owner maintains the service, so it could/should still be available for law enforcement usage, regardless.
