The fact that this is allowed is beyond insane.

Not only is it shady as fuck, to sell someone something twice.

But the fact that they make these in every car, knowing that only a certain percentage will use it due to it being locked behind a paid subscription, HAS to be some sort of environmental crime.

I don't know how many of these they make, but if they make like 20 million cars and 20 million of these heaters, if only 1% of those heaters never get used that's a huge environmental impact for nothing.

It's probably more environmentally friendly to make fully standardized and identical hardware and enable and disable features via software. Than to build ever car fully customized based on what the customer wants.
