Isn’t that just leasing?
- hardwaresofton 5y agoYeah but leasing the physical car normally meant you got the car and all associated functionality, for the duration of the lease. The alarming change here is incorporating a lease (of software/hardware controlled functionality) into the actual purchase of a car. See: John Deere & tractors, Right to Repair, etc.
- ta988 5y agoLeasing where you paid the full price upfront anyway and is still charged the regular fees.
- asplake 5y agoThe ultimate subscription would be to the kind of car I need right now, just in time
- ric2b 5y agoI think a subscription would be different in that you'd be able to easily switch to a different car on demand, for example if you needed a truck/van to carry some stuff. And possibly work like electric scooters, you just park the car and it's not your problem, the next day you use a different one that's close by.
