Too bad they don't know the subscription pricing for these features, the one-time purchase pricing, or whether it will apply in the US as well (just EU is known so far).

I don't have high hopes that the pricing will be reasonable, but IMO as long as you can still buy it outright for a fair price (and when you sell it the next owner doesn't have to pay again), then I don't mind subscriptions being an option.

But my guess is that even if prices are fair to begin with, they'll eventually become unreasonable-seeming as consumers get accustomed to having in-car subscriptions.




Unfortunately, Tesla has already set a precedent with regards to reselling a car & the new owners needing to pay for upgraded features again.
