So if it turns out that your car dealer can remotely disable your car and they announce that starting September 1st, you will no longer be able to start it. You would not consider that theft? In this scenario it would also be very difficult and/or illegal to circumvent the disable-mechanism.

As mentioned in my previous comment, it would be wrong but not theft specifically. Someone breaking into my garage and smashing my car isn't theft, it's vandalism.
