This is something that I’m warily watching as we move towards a predominantly BEV fleet. I don’t like the idea of subscriptions in software, and I really don’t like it when it comes to vehicles. It will be interesting to see how automakers deal with users who take matters into their own hands and start tinkering with code in order to access features that would otherwise be locked away if you don’t have a subscription. There’s already lots of experience in the ICE world of tuning the ECU, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them have a “secret menu” if subscriptions become rampant across vehicles.
