- speed_spread 4y agoIt's not socialism if it's not state-owned! We're just bailing them out because, uh, Jobs! Economy! Profit! Freedom!
- sudosysgen 4y agoIn that case the US government should metaphorically grow some balls and buy it out next time they need a bailout.

- ricardonunez 4y agoDid you see the BMW subscription seat's addon?
- KeytarHero 4y agoAs ridiculous as that is, it's not on the same level as GMC's mandatory subscription.
- shostack 4y agoUnfortunately I feel it is inevitable. They've seen the benefits of it for software and services, particularly for things low on the list of "stuff I can give up in a down economy" and want that revenue and control over the secondary sale market. I'd be shocked if there weren't mandatory subs for all cars in the next 5yrs, and potentially even one time use or limited use IAPs and in your face promotions for them through car UIs. It will be gradual while there is competition here, but I suspect they are watching the mobile app and gaming industry quite closely.
