Wait until car manufacturers (or the federal, state and local governments) start to charge driving by the mile, with rates depending on where you are driving. And if you disconnect the car from the internet, the car won’t operate.
(Each car has its own cellular connection)
I imagine that’s where we are these days.

And I guess the cell connection is always a active so they can turn off the heated seat for non payment. And if the connection is always active, they can track the vehicle every second of the day.
Another internet connected device, your car. We have an internet connected thermostat in our house. Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes awhile to work and sometimes it doesn’t work at all. I suppose the server or the internet are just slow sometimes.
I can see it now, you want heat on for your car seat? Sorry, the server is busy or not functioning or whatever...
Lulz!
The nickel-and-diming is real.
It’s free in my 2014 Regal GS. No ‘subscription’ required. Push button, adjust temp, good to go.
I’m sorry Dave, I can’t open the garage door.

Wow! Never realized that my 2015 Chrysler Town and Country was so far on the leading edge of technology. It has driver and front-passenger heated seats and a heated steering wheel to boot—all in the initial price. This BMW tactic is as crazy as the “extended warranty” offers on most everything that has moving parts and a lot of items that do not have moving parts. P.T. Barnum said a suckers are born ever minute.
6+6+6 = $18
Yikes
Indeed it does

You will own nothing.
Sounds like a great opportunity for those who can develop different types of countermeasures.
My husband and I were looking at a BMW SUV for me and were told that the warranty wasn’t really the same as other cars. IIRC, you don’t take it to the BMW dealership for warranty work, you take it to another repair shop and I am thinking we were told we had to pay a deductible? I can’t remember exactly but we walked out immediately and went to Lexus where I got exactly what I wanted with any warranty work done at the dealership and no payments from us for anything under the warranty.
BMW sure thinks a lot about their cars - hopefully they will see a big FU lag in sales .
What they did was take it off the options-list and just make each car with it. Then they said you can skip it entirely, pay month by month, or pay a yearly fee.
They think that a majority of people will subscribe. Must have done some testing to be that confident.

An even better meme! ;-)
You will own nothing and like it.
Just a modern adaptation of “Give away the razor, sell the blades.”
