    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?
