Bound to happen, unfortunately everyone is doing the same. Around 2022, I remember BMW sold cars with heated seats and few other features installed but required subscription to activate & use them.

So, you have to pay them to use a feature on your own car and then you have to pay for the damages when this thing inevitably misidentifies a pedestrian as a paper bag.

Elon is turning into the Chet blob from Weird Science.
Not only are vehicle prices inflating, they will add subscription based features to them. You will have to subscribe to your car to use basic features like certain speeds or heating or remote start in the future.
These companies will do anything to squeeze and suck money from everyone.

There is a simple solution to this. Don’t buy his vehicles. The more people do that, the more likely he reverts back to the way it was. Speak with your wallet.

Unpopular opinion, but this is the only way any of it makes sense. A subscription for a heated seat is dumb. It’s build-once hardware that lasts the lifetime of the car. FSD is going to require constant software updates and improvements basically forever, and there is material cost to that continued iteration. And, eventually the car will stop working because the world will have evolved to the point where the now antiquated hardware will be considered unsafe compared to the advances in newer models. If you were buying a car with a fixed set of hardware and software and it never changed I’d have much more of an issue with this. And for what it’s worth, I’d never own a Tesla, ever, but this isn’t why.

Alex, I’ll take,

For $400.

You can pay monthly for the non-existent feature you used to pay up front for and also not get.
I believe this is called rent seeking.

You have to be a bit special to buy or even own these vehicles.

Jesus people. Just. Don’t. Buy. One.

Honestly, I think this is the only case where forcing a feature behind a subscription would make the product better since FSD has been a known safety issue for years. The less people who use it, the less likely that some innocent person/people would get severely hurt or killed

Elon: what if we incentivized people to buy other EVs even more than we already were?
Tesla shareholders: bro that’s so genius. Here’s $1 trillion.

Don’t buy them, ya fugging jag offs

Pretty sure custom firmware will be a thing by the end of the year. Forcing subscription just motivates people to jailbreak

Who is still buying Tesla’s and supporting this guy?! Yikes.

I’d never buy a Tesla and generally hate the subscriptionification of everything… but honestly, with FSD running $8k, I’d happily pay a monthly fee when going on a road trip and then canceling it the rest of the year.

Why is anyone buying these cars. Outside of Elon being a shit bag and the company being prepped up by massive stock fraud, they haven’t invested a single cent in over a decade to improve the design of the car. It’s literally the same model people have been buying forever. They were ugly then and they are still ugly now.

Time for the hackers to do their thing. And disconnect the cars from the company.
Imagine still being a Tesla customer. What a bunch of fascist supporting jagoffs lining the pockets of one of the worst people alive.
Alienating what few customers they have left. And FSD buyers are the true believers. Captain Ketamine rides to the rescue!
People are still buying the Nazi’s vehicles?
Who buys a nazi mobile in 2026?
Maybe don’t buy a nazimobile from the world’s wealthiest perpetually 15 year old edgelord, idk 🤷🏻♂️
Elon is doing his very best to convince everyone on the planet not to buy his vehicles. Amazing!
I can’t wait to get rid of my Tesla.
Waiting for Rivian R2 to come out this year.
It’s like a Nazi vehicle without the German reliability.
