Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Tesla is the car company doing the least of that though. All the app functionality is there when you buy the car. The only subscription is for data streaming.
Really? That is the exact opposite of what I've heard! Sure all the other companies are copying Tesla's successful model, but I was under the impression that they basically pioneered the idea of selling you a car with features you have to pay again or subscribe to use, and having this always-connected DRM approach to remotely disabling things.
Nope, like I said the only subscription is for the premium data plan. You even get basic data for free.
I can concur with Socsa. I paid $100/yr for the data but in comparison, Tesla's light on the subscription model. My Chevy from 2018 wanted $10/mo for OnStar, $20 for hotspot, and $ for SiriusXM (which I will never subscribe to again since unsubscribing is such a goddamn nightmare).
