A bunch of vehicles are doing that and it’s so dumb. Even EV motorcycle manufacturer Zero has been doing it with stuff like heated grips.
You build it into the vehicle…but the customer can’t use it unless they pay monthly for the hardware that is already there…?
The worst of it all for the motorcycle space was a vest that is an airbag and has a subscription. So if you don’t pay your monthly subscription and crash, your airbag wouldn’t deploy. Utterly evil.

Can’t fucking build a car that doesn’t rattle apart after 5 years but they can sure squeeze every cent out of you in the meantime.
