For people who had forgotten the seat heating subscription
Why do they keep trying to pull this bullshit?, they're a luxury brand, there margins should be pretty good without trying to nickel and dime everything
Capitalism doesn't understand "good enough", only MOAR

I'd argue that Mercedes > Audi

There are no brakes on capitalism. It's always more, more and more.
Because income sources like subscriptions and ads are stable, predictable, and that makes shareholders happy.
