Chips I could understand as they're small and volume would be X times the number of cars produced.
But a heated seat is not light, its a lot of extra weight to ship and therefore more fuel used for every car.
What percentage of car owners will pay for that feature to be enabled. 20, 30 , 50?
That's a lot of fuel and energy burnt to get it to that person and over the life of the car the weight of those seats will have a material impact on the lifetime fuel usage of the car, tyre wear times etc etc.
- woobar 4y agoThe seats are the same. The difference is a heating element that weights < 100 g Here is example with packaged weights: [1] https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/selectCar/F30/Lim/BMW+335i/EGY/52/52_3725 https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/selectCar/F30/Lim/BMW+33...
- dbetteridge 4y agoCheers for the doc! That's different from other cars I've seen with heated seats , in that case I can definitely see the case of just including it into every car just incase.
