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

    It is far cheaper to produce a single trim with most of the features. Customization costs money. There is a reason Porsches are expensive.

    Multiple seat types is literally buildings and lines they need to construct. It’s a similar scales of economy concept like binning chips. Instead of multiple lines.

      Even if that were true, that still means that everyone is paying for that one single trim, including all the optional features in it. By paying for the subscription, you’re just paying more money, not less.
