Well that sounds horrible.

How much do I have to pay for the brakes to work?

90% of the people complaining about this would never pay for heated seats regardless of the method of payment

A dollar a day for cruise control?

They're precisely engineered machines.
Engineered to fail precisely when the warranty expires.

BMW drivers are too cheap to pay for the turn signal subscription

I wonder how they're implementing DRM on that. You know it would be easy to just run a fucking wiring hack that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and it would pay for itself the first month of not paying for it.
>In before the revised listings are all "Includes heated seat, A/C, and Local Radio packages, A $250 value!"

>subscription
So if they are already installed, exactly how hard would it be to bypass the lockout?

I bought a car with heated seats but in the old fashioned boomer sense of the car cost a little bit more up front because of it but there's no recurring subscription fee to use them.

cool 6 day old "news" from reddit.

Lol, take a minute to think about what you just said.

>BMW drivers are too cheap to pay for the turn signal subscription
Speaking to BMW owners, the reason for this is the switch on the steering column has failed when the car was just 3 years old and will cost $1500 in parts alone to repair.
My 40 year old Toyota on the other hand, never a problem, literally unheard of.

lel, technocratic license ownership
This was part of the agenda 21/sustainability shit
"You will own nothing, and be happy."
Now your digital money and social credit dictates your standard of living.

I tossed my 94 carolla out for a turbo diesel bmw. Its a nightmare. And diesel is now 3bucks and not 80 cents. And my rego is double and i have to pay road uaer charges lol

I hate the future.

My 91 civic daily driver is so reliable. Maintenance is very cheap. Spare parts are easy to acquire. Lots of aftermarket options. Repairs are done at home.

Fucking hilarious, Breakdown Motor Works offers a fixed rate for repairs because you already know it's going to break lmao.

kek, you could be a nigger and goose the odo.

i had a 1980 BMW, really basic car, light weight, simple, straight 6 engine, rear wheel drive, no catalytic converter, no airbags, no computers, no electrics, great car to drive and easy to work on, modern cars suck

>buying modern cars
kek, i will soon drive a25 year old T4 Diesel that has over 300.000 kilometers.

Feels good to never have been accustomed to luxury. Heated seats just fry your nuts. Yes, yes, it's about the principle, but in reality it's just a company figuring out ways to squeeze some extra money out of fat comfort addicts. I say squeeze those pigs.

i do enjoy driving around crazy like a cop at 3 am in old cars.

>modern cars suck
It's progress.

how about a subscription to make the check engine light turn off?

Just modify your car to enable the heated seats permanently

Will cost extra for the headlight failure warning, despite the headlights working fine on you 2010's 700 series, appearing on the LCD in the centre console to go away.

Having worked in car sales for a few years its the same 10% of people buying new cars every 3 years while everyone else just drives their car for decades.

the car industry is smoke and mirrors

Its all screens, ud have to hardwire a ghetto switch

What the fuck. What type of retard would buy this car?

Tesla started this as a way to suck more money out of the rich but this will make it's way down to the middle class

Bulgarian engineering will fix this. trust me. Pic rel is a tesla with a CNG system added to it.

Uh yeah it was a $150 option. Nearly everyone has heated seats in Canada and has for 15 years.

they do it because they think their car will break down if they drive it past 30k miles
the cost of depreciation is always much much more than the cost of an occasional repair

>Just spend fucking months reverse engineering CAN bus protocol and cracking the security key that they used.
Yeah, fine if you're a NEET.

toyota is bringing this in next year. once toyota brings something in everyone has to follow

Very funny but technically impossibru.

Well except the last couple years. My car is worth nearly as much as I paid for it.

I live in Los Angeles and never need heated seats. Why should I be forced to pay for them? I unironically love this and as conservatives we all should.

Toyota haven't made a good car since the 90's.

Americans BTFO again. Soon you will pay a subscription to flush your toilet

But you do, you pay for the hardware to be there. Only now you pay more for the privilege to use it.

>they do it because they think their car will break down if they drive it past 30k miles
>the cost of depreciation is always much much more than the cost of an occasional repair
Or just buy a toyota...

You pay for annual passes to designated shitting streets.

Yeah it’s not like they’re going to lower the price of the base model. I could see if this was some creative accounting but then still just charge up front.

This is fucking greasy and starting to make the commies look smart.

>heating capability is already installed
>pay to use it, goy

>toyota is bringing this in next year. once toyota brings something in everyone has to follow
Toyota already has this for remote start.

What? It's free to shit in the shitting streets, I've never had to pay

They're risking a huge PR backlash in the premium segment which is 100% discretionary
They've either researched it thoroughly and believe the market is ready for this bullshit, or they're stupid.

>What? It's free to shit in the shitting streets, I've never had to pay
You wont be able to renew your health card without settling your account goy.

>$150k car
>monthly payment for luxury you were expecting in the first place

Now imagine your local town government implementing a shitting street pass
That's how people feel about heated seats in their BMW.

This is what freedom feels like

I would say this is communism, corporate communism. Everyone pays into it but only a few benefit.

That is even more jewish because remote starter systems have been sold by aftermarket garages for decades, and even more recently as factory options the same way. Just an extra button on the key fob.
But now because everything needs to be an app you must pay the monthly subscription to keep the data plan alive.

It's common for these features to be controlled by individual computers (driver's door module, light control module, etc) that all wire into the CAN bus. Bypassing a module will probably trip a check engine light and possibly break other features depending on how the system reacts to faults.
