    My car has 6 or 7 subscriptions I believe? I lost count.

      And this is one reason why I hate modern cars. But then again, there’s no alternative, and that sucks.

          Maybe for now, but there’s fewer and fewer around. In ten-twenty years time it will be hard to find a 90s car with reasonable mileage.

        I do too and that’s true. I had a 2009 Rav 4 that I knew was going to need a lot of repairs and figured the safety improvements between 2009 and 2023 would be worthwhile, so I went new and EV to save me $100/mo on gas.

        I also decided to not pay for any subscription since privacy sucks, app requires full location access even during background, and the only thing I really used it for was remote start / scheduled remote start (buggy since it didn’t do daylight savings), but there is a button on my keys for it.

        Looks like tesla offers a premium subscription for most things and a separate one for the fancy cruise control… So I assume you have an old model or your being a troll?

            Sounds like you’re the one confused about it yourself.

            Weird, my Tesla has 0.

              …no actually I’m not confused at all. What part of that confused you? Or are you just being a troll?

                When another person had car subscriptions, it was meaningless. But you having none of them is supposed to mean something. Makes no sense.

                  What makes no sense is that you think the other person having 7 subscriptions is meaningless in a conversation about subscriptions.

                    That’s what you’re saying. “durr that doesn’t mean I have them”. Whoosh
