No one is forced to buy any car, including ones with subscriptions for heated seats. That isn't really a useful argument. Mandatory subscriptions take what might be the "ideal" car for a particular consumer, and add in an extra (in this case) $1500 cost for something you do not want. It should 100% be the buyer's choice if they want to prepay 3 years worth of an "optional" subscription. It's better for consumers of something that external like an internet service is not forced upon you when buying a vehicle. There's no downside to consumers if it's optional - but it makes otherwise good options for vehicles worse.
