A fool and his money are soon parted. From the same class of vehicles that tried to lock heated seats behind a monthly subscription.

You know what's nice? Those cars can F right off. I won't buy one new. And never will buy one used.

Always will be "budget" cars (Corolla, Civic, Versa, etc.) that won't screw around with this crap because the buyers can't afford to screw around with it.

TRY to paywall a heated seat in a Civic. I dare Honda. It won't be more than 10 minutes before someone has it badly wired up like an aftermarket subwoofer.

Even Toyota is doing this now. They locked features like the digital tire pressure gauge behind a paywall on their app.

Isn't a tire pressure monitoring system legally required on all cars now?

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 17 points 1 year ago

It is, but the minimum requirement is a "low pressure" notification when tire pressure drops past a certain point. So instead of a gauge you'd get a warning light.

warning light

No longer an idiot/warning light. It'll now be called a "poor's light".

Ahh so like having a low fuel light with no fuel needle
