So far there’s subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

    Absolutely insane to me that you’d pay $35k for a car, and then pay a subscription for basics like cruise control and phone connectivity. The free market free marketing again. Legislate against this now.

        You when the only other option is to use public transport in a country with the worst public transportation of any western nation because instead of calling on the government to do something you said “it doesn’t effect me so why should I care?”

          But that’s not the only other option. So why would anyone buy it? No reason to create laws for a non-issue.

            If it’s profitable and they get away with it you know every other car company will do the same.

                I wish they had a remind me bot here because I think that this comment will age like milk over the next 5 years.

                The answer is: enough people to make it profitable.

                  Lol. Bold prediction.

                  I predict you won’t come back to admit you were wrong.
