Then there’s all the anti-consumer practises. Buy a car, but don’t own it. Yes we shipped it with heated seats, which you obviously paid for, but to use them you’ll have to pay a monthly fee.

"Existence as a subscription service" should've been nipped in the bud long before automakers worked up the nerve to pull this nonsense but I'm afraid it's now too late. We're all just sentient ATMs being bled dry every month by corporations that feel entitled to our money and have no interest in doing anything to actually earn it.
