So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

I’m in my second Audi but it will be my last. This subscription shit should be boycotted.

This subscription shit should be prohibited by law.

The real problem here is that the FTC is failing to do its goddamn job.

Not only ftc, the eu is as well..

In the US we used to at least be able to reply on CA to pass laws to prevent a lot of this shit, which ended up benefitting most of the rest of the country. But they've been real tolerant/lazy too.
