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

    People like the option to have already installed equipment just not work if they don’t pay the subscription? Like the car already has the features and the company is saying “we included this equipment in the price of your lease/purchase already but if you’d like to use it you have to keep paying more.”

    Even in the case of a lease, this is just anti-consumer bullshit

      With BMW and Toyota it was cheaper to sub for 3 years than purchase outright. Yes, that’s an attractive option.

        That’s not what I said. Good strawman/whataboutism combo, but try harder.
