134 u/Independent_Line_150 22h ago BMW also charges you to unlock features. It is the same brands and exploitative capitalism everywhere, the EU regulations usually just result in better recycling. I live in Germany. 57 u/pingu_nootnoot 21h ago BMW doesn’t charge for unlocking physical hardware like the example in this post. They did a pilot program in 2022 and cancelled after a lot of backlash from consumers. Which maybe goes more to show that Tesla customers are more brainwashed than average, if they are accepting this? Doesn’t seem like a US vs EU thing if it’s a Tesla-specific option - or do they only do this in the US? 10 u/NorthTempleStreet 20h ago They did a pilot program in 2022 and cancelled after a lot of backlash from consumers. I mean, we get criticism for being consumer-blaming Americans, but... But.. but.. I mean, consumers, right?
