This can't be real.

And if it is, it better backfire spectacularly, or we might as well just give up as consumers.

I would only need it for 2 to 3 months tops. Worth it.

Now, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they would take this angle, thus why I will never own a BMW.

heated seats. But how will I survive having to pay for a "service" like this? I will NOT buy a car with heated seats. I sure as #### won't buy one with heated seats, and then a freaking subscription for those heated seats.

Then again I will never buy a BMW either, so there's that. Or a Mercedes. This impacts me about like a hike in Starbucks prices. It doesn't.

Except it’s like $6000 to enable hardware that’s already on the car instead of $18.

supposed to buy all new licenses for their software that allows for semi autonomous driving, GPS, etc.

I wonder if anyone really does that?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I have not heard that?


Jul 13, 2022, 10:20 PM

I know there was some back and forth about the cars with unlimited free supercharging keeping that perk after a transfer, but I thought FSD stayed with the car. Just browsing the market occasionally, a FSD car fetched about $1500-2k over a non-equipped car, so I have no clue who’d buy a used one without it.

Here;s one from a couple years ago.


Jul 13, 2022, 10:27 PM

Looking for a few more examples, looks like some dealers have disabled FSD, but Tesla isn;t *strictly* enforcing it.

Seems..arbitrary.

This is why Vehicle holding corporations are great.


Jul 14, 2022, 3:52 PM

Incorporate one for every vehicle. Don't sell the car, sell the company. At that point, there is technically no change in ownership of the vehicle.

Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!


I bought this at WallyWorld


Jul 14, 2022, 9:11 PM

on clearance for like $15. It worked so well on first try (both heat AND cool) that I went back and bought another to have for spare/replacement.

That was 5 years ago. First one still works and looks like new, almost 100K miles later. Through drink spills, rain, and whatever abuse seats go through. Has never slid or moved out of place, ever. I think its neoprene. Rarely use the heat, gotta be absolutely frigid, it gets hot so fast. Cool fan air circ I use a lot, and it is magnificent. Plus it saves your car seat from excess wear.

Spare still sitting unopened in the closet. Probably will see my next vehicle. I'd pay $50+ for another one they work so well.

Moral of story - just go buy something like this and be done.
