BMW’s terrible heated seats subscription didn’t even make it to a second winter::BMW is one of several automakers that have been nickel and diming customers, including with a monthly subscription for heated seats in certain models and territories. The company has dropped that controversial practice to focus on paid software services — it doesn’t plan to charge drivers extra to use hardware features that are already in their cars anymore.
Next up: BMW puts turn signals behind a subscription.
Nah, why would they try to charge for something no one uses?
found the bmw driver at heart
Haven’t even topped up my blinker fluid
I thought they already were and thats why no one used them

Boeing did it with the Max8. These hideous airframes and their cruel seating configurations were grounded not by consumer hate but by boeing charging a value-add fee for what was discovered to really be a safety requirement after two budget customers lost aircraft, staff and passengers in fiery crashes.
Now they fixed that part, and we’re still left with an embarrassingly badly compressed cabin with seats so badly made and badly spaced that I’m sure it’s a huge factor in air passenger problems.
