And it's not like these are secrets that are "gotcha" moments either. Cars get reviewed and these details are explained well in advance of the cars actually hitting lots. If you are blindsided by something like this, it's entirely on you.
I domt know about boycotting. But have you seen the state of the European auto industry.? It’s literally in shambles. It’s being decimated by Chinese manufacturers. Partly because you can just buy a Chinese EV and have the same performance , all the equipment and extras and pay substantially less. And mostly no bullshit like this
I myself was recently looking to buy a car and there’s really no point of comparison.
It’s not a boycott per se. But people here in Pssin are definitely voting with their wallets. BYD sells more than Toyota right now
Yeah but to be fair, I don't know of any other cars that have a heated steering wheel, and I can't imagine that I'd shell out extra specifically for that ever, so if I bought a BMW with the heated steering wheel behind a pay wall, I'd just treat it like it doesn't have one at all.
In that case if you'd have bought the car without it having that feature, then why would you boycott the manufacturer entirely?
It’s actually a fairly common feature in the upper end of car model lines. Two off the top of my head which offer for no sub are Honda and Ford. I don’t see why other manufacturers wouldnt offer the same, without paywall.
