Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power
brax@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThe real question should be: why are vehicle manufacturers inclusing features that they can’t afford to maintain after they have sold it to us? Maybe stop making everything internet-integrated. Nobody in their right mind should be forking over a subscription for something they just spent tens of thousands of dollars on.

That logic might work for GPS service, but the example in the article is a bike where the battery has limited discharge rate and capacity, whose limits are increased via software if you pay a subscription.
