Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power
melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 day agoThe moment I bought my id3 they never informed me about this subscription model. Soon I also need to pay if I want to keep my app working for my car, like enabling the airco via the app.
I already paid around 14000-15000 euros for this car. And now I suddenly also need to pay subscriptions? It's not only a subscription for 'increase power'.

15k? Price crashed like that? When I asked the price in 2020 they told me 45k and I laughed for weeks after that
The fact that they pay the sim card data plan for only the first three years from purchase was known from the beginning. I’m ok with paying but not the price they’re asking. They’re using a $10/year iot sim card for remote access, but want $150/year from the customer? LOL get fucked I would never pay that.
PS: how the remote air control works? I tried the Peugeot one and
Allowed activation only if battery was over 50% which is a stupid artificial limitations
Literally took 10 minutes to boot and 8 minutes to send the activation signal to the car. In that time I could go to activate it manually

Sorry my bad. It was indeed 45000 euros. It's insane.
