Or not including a charger, or doing away with useful features like removable batteries or 1/8" Jack's so you have to buy new earbuds... shit
Elon is pulling this shit because it will probably work
Also... what happens if the heater breaks? Are you still charged for fixing it or is that included in the subscription?
Right? If the hardware is in the vehicle, there's no additional cost for them to enable it on all vehicles. If they want to have a way to offer vehicles for cheaper to increase sales, they're not saving any money by doing it the way they are. They're just saving on not having to make multiple models. But if that's the case, just give everyone the damn heated steering wheel if it's installed in the car.
