Tin foil hat: someone at Tesla gets an email from FB about your 'misinformation' and your new $120,000 electric car is turned off remotely.

Small wonder used cars are in high demand.

I didn’t see in the article how much this will be.
I have that option but never use it and I would not pay for it either.

Acura is doing the same thing, but via an app.

All my extremely expensive software turned to subscription costing me tens of thousands a year now. And now thanks to the “vaccinations” anyone who took it will be subscribing to pfizer just to stay alive and leave the house. Required monthly “boosters” are sure to be coming.

no remote connection back to Toyota is needed. So why require a subscription?

Because they can and most will pay.

I have a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado that includes a remote start. I also had the capability to start my truck remotely from from phone with the OnStar app. The basic service was free for five years (though there were always upgraded subscriptions available.) When my basic service expired, so did my remote start option on my phone. The remote start from my key fob still works, but only within a very short range.

Simply say no and have a regular remote start function installed.
