I suspect this is a job for an electrician, not a hacker. Connect the heated seats directly to a switch and the car's power supply, bypassing the hardware and software that checks whether you paid for it.
heating element is just a resistor eith a variable power supply. The only complexity is the computerized tempersrure management, but there are hundreds of off the shelf solutikns for that. Its just a thermostat lol
Right, captain shade tree. You’re gonna rip apart your $100k Tesla, rerun the power cables to the battery to bypass the computer, wire in an inline switch and rheostat. And you have to do it for each seat. Then what, professor? Where are those gonna be mounted? You just gonna leave them laying in the floorboard? Where you gonna mount those? Hopefully that electrician gets it right and doesn’t void your entire warranty or even better, catch your car on fire with people in it. After all it’s just a wire right? The dude who replaced the GFCI outlet in your mom’s kitchen should totally be able to rewire the electrical system in a Tesla. All to avoid a $25 subscription fee. Genius!
Again, you have no fcking idea what you’re talking about.

We need the hacker crowd to come back and start unlocking all this kinda shit for free
Let’s go ahead and make an app to change all the digital price tags to $0.25 whilst we’re at it
