    Cool! Now work on exploits for those paywalled features of BMW cars and Ford cars.

    If you pay for something it’s yours by right. You should be able to use the entire thing, because you physically have it now.

    A subscription for hardware is such bullshit, I hope this trend dies.

    For example, 2021 Model 3 SR+ vehicles can enable the Cold Weather Feature (heated steering wheel, heated rear seats) for an extra $300. This feature unlock is confirmed to work with the exploit.

    So like cucks people were paying for something that their car already had offline, both hardware- and software-wise.

    If all electric cars are just going to be subscription bullshit, I’m sorry, I won’t be driving electric.

        There are some manufacturers that do not do this garbage, or at least not often. I’ve heard good things about Hyundai specifically.

          Tesla got rid of the heater subscription bullshit in 2021. Now, the only thing locked behind a paywall is internet related stuff (sentry over mobile, streaming media access, etc.), the performance boost, and FSD.

            But if the car is completely capable of habe that performance, why should people pay for it.

              Oh I’m just correcting the article. Facts are better than fiction for conversations about reality.
