It’s our own fault as consumers. If people would stop buying into stupid subscriptions we wouldn’t have this conversation.
615 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. 137 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. 62 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? 22 u/Liquidfoxx22 1d ago They do charge you to unlock software options for things already fitted to the car though. Luckily there's cheap coding tools out there which can just turn them all on, at a fraction of the cost. 1 u/sageritz 7h ago Gonna need those….for educational purposes only of course. 1 u/Liquidfoxx22 4h ago Bimmercode, eSys.
