We have subscription services in cars now.

I'm betting it'll happen either way.

It's a fucking stupid future.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

there's no alternative

Older cars?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just because they exist don't mean I have them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

Weird, my Tesla has 0.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's what you're saying. "durr that doesn't mean I have them". Whoosh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You're confused. I never said that. But thanks for that very mature response. Troll confirmed. Goodbye now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm grateful for you confirming your status. Troll projection is real

Weird, my Tesla has 0.

Implication: it happened to me, that makes it universal

Just because they exist don't mean I have them.

Implication: it happened to you, so it is in no way universal

Any other extremely basic ideas you pretend to need ELI5-ed?

Exactly--and someone had to make the unpopular decision to announce it and weather the first round of criticisms. They also will be the first to profit from said stupid idea when they roll it out and the dumbs line up to buy it for fomo reasons or whatever
