Bought a car with a future subscription to its remote services (climate, lock/unlock, etc). Company wants $450/year for access. Guess what we aren’t going to sign up for when the free 2 year period expires?

Vote with the wallets folks.

You beat me by 7 seconds.

This was my first thought. "sure showed them by buying that car..."

Yeah "2 years free" no it's not it was factored into the price they charged you for the vehicle.

With a large family there weren’t many options. This was the best option.

Honest question -- why not get a used vehicle that didn't have that nonsense in it?

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Because used was as much as new monthly. The market is upside down and down right stupid.

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Fair enough. Thanks for answering.

But wait, what features are actually behind the subscription wall? Your other comment mentions the climate system and… door locking? You can’t be serious…

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Systems monitoring and I wouldn’t call it remote start because it’s a PHEV but they do. And yes, I’m serious. It’s a ridiculously overpriced service. Thank god they didn’t lock down the heated seats.
