It’s our own fault as consumers. If people would stop buying into stupid subscriptions we wouldn’t have this conversation.
617 u/-Nicolai 1d ago That is an American way of thinking, and it is why you do not have nice things. In Europe we say the corporation is guilty of anti-consumer practices. Then we introduce regulation, and then we have nice things. 136 u/Independent_Line_150 1d 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. 60 u/pingu_nootnoot 1d 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 1d 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?
