Automaker’s latest subscription model takes nickel-and-diming to new heights
You must log in or register to comment.
is this satirizing some other recently introduced subscription of Mazda’s?
This is how you get BMW drivers not using indicators because of expensive blinker fluid
That’s how I support our local Boeing strike. I do 3 hunks on the first stop and 3 on the 2nd. Then coming home I do it again. So 12 hunks total per day. That’s a lot of money 🤑💰🤑 during tax time.
This would be a good idea with lots of room for improvement. For example, geolocating the car and making the price go x1000 if in a “no honking” zone. What we really need is cars that self-report to road authorities when driving over the speed limit.

also i don’t like this, imagine living two blocks from a hospital and getting fined when you honked in front of your house because the gps was still calibrating
why, you know, just limit the car speed, no one needs 200km/h
Fuck me, I own a Mazda and had a mini heart attack before seeing the community name
Honking is now a paid subscription service. Don’t give them ideas!
Rest easy, the non-funny article about Mazda product enshittification by subacription is here https://www.motor1.com/news/729233/mazda-connected-services-remote-start-subscription/
Don’t you mean rest uneasy?
If this were true I wouldn’t have to pay much. I’ve been driving and have only used my horn one or two times, barring hello ‘honk honks’. And the honk I do to let my cat know I’m home and she can stop sleeping in the window
If I cut those out that’s like 2 honks a year.
There’s no reason to honk as a ‘hello’. That’s just unecessary noise pollution.
Yeah, the model mentioned by the article would be rather generous as opposed to a subscription service to enable the horn at all.
bootleg onion?
That’s a clever title.
I’d…I would support this. Honking serves little purpose.
I was behind someone when the light turned green and while the person in front of them took off, they didn’t. No amount of honking had any effect. The light turned red and they suddenly awoke from their coma and ran it.
Some lady was paying zero attention and backed out her parking spot… almost directly into me. Thankfully she was at least awake even if she was mostly oblivious. The horn got her to stop lol
