I believe it was $199/month previously Also, personally, I feel as though monthly subs to use features built into something you own is anti-consumer (yes, I know Tesla isn’t the only to do this).

Yea, I was joking, they dropped the sub idea after all of the backlash They even dropped the yearly subscription fee for Apple CarPlay (which was BS in the first place) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly agreed, though I would be willing to pay a very small monthly amount for a convenience service that requires server upkeep, like an app that gives access to remote start from anywhere (beyond the range of the key fob), for example. But yeah taking basic functionality for which the hardware is already there and putting it behind a paywall is complete bullshit and they can fuck all the way off (looking at you, BMW, and your attempted heated seat subscription).

Just their in car infotainment internet connection (which sadly does include live traffic data). I believe the heated seats are standard for all front driver seats in Canada it seems on all new models. When I got my last 2 car leases, I was always told heated seats were now standard. I would hate/wouldn't pay for any feature that’s already built into the car. They just gotta make heated steering wheel a standard next. My god it’s a game changer on the really cold nights/mornings. Although we tend to be getting less of them lately but still love the feature, and sadly paid the little extra money for it in my Bronco Sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The only car subscription I think is valid to pay for is satellite radio, and I wouldn’t pay for that either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always talk them down to about $50 for a year sub, so I’m good with it, mostly because it’s how I tend to find new music/bands for myself as streaming services seem to just pull from the same bands most of the time, and when I do the “discover new music” thing with any of them it just gives me garbage I don’t like lol. Plus, that Pearl Jam station But, yea, any more than $50-60ish/year and no f’n way I also don’t think the phone apps are worth paying for, as there’s no server really involved in a way that it should cost money. It’s a signal from your phone through the net/towers to your cars onboard modem. Only server-side bit is the log-in and settings being saved. Ford/Lincoln and others (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis being one of them) offer it for free for life on new cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm kind of surprised that they've only shipped under 4000 Cybertrucks up to now. I kinda thought that by the time they finally shipped any, they'd be able to really push them out. Tesla's Q4 2023 deck says they have production capacity for 125k Cybertrucks a year and their goal is to double that in 18 months. Apparently analysts seem to think they'll ship somewhere between 20k - 80k this year, with a few outliers even higher. 1000 vehicles a months is outpacing the notorious model 3 rollout, but Telsa is shipping more than 10x as many cars a quarter now than they were then. They should be better at putting out new models. They didn't separate the Y deliveries from the 3, so it's hard to say how quickly they ramped that up, but with the similarities, it should have been pretty easy.
