I mean, they could just not charge for shyt that's been standard in a car for years now:ld:
I don’t think heated seats standard though. So if it’s a 500 extra. I would mind 12 a month for 3 months out the year. And like I said if I keep the car for 10 years it’s cheaper than paying the extra 500 to own it outright

Low key a sub would be cheaper For a cat like me. Only would use heated Seats during winter. So 36 a year. $360 over 10 years. So I would be winning

The issue is that the feature is already in the car and they’re just disabling at anytime

500 over the length of time you keep the car is nothing

nikkas trying to justify car makers mimicking the gaming industry by putting DLC already installed in cars. Look how much of a cesspool gaming has been over the last 20 years with microtransactions. And you want to invite THAT type of behavior in the auto industry? :why:

This is not the same as gaming, you have a choice

Look at how Xbox was trying to cancel used games and be always online with kinect. Gamers pushed back.
Unpopular opinion

Microsoft, aside from the kinect, had the right approach in hindsight. They tried to kill used games but their system would have allowed trading digital games with friends.

Do you really? You still have to buy the car. If I buy something, I expect to have access to everything. The concept of purchasing something but not having access to everything defeats the purpose of ownership.
heated Seats are an added feature. You always had to pay for them
