This is the kind of thing I worry about when it comes to our modern technology. BMW charging a monthly fee to use a feature in the car you've "purchased". #BMW doesn't need to do anything to make this work. You already have everything you need to have the feature. It's just you need to be paying the fee for BMW to LET you use a feature in your own car. The subscription economy is out of hand.

@mike yeah unfortunately that's where things are going, Tesla is also using a subscription model for self-driving features, but that one is a bit more justifiable since the AI model is a software and so on, but charge for a heated seat is a pure greed.
