I just saw a video on that.... that is Hella tough to do. Design wise it make sense but you have people who travel... alot.
It's only feasible in smaller size countries anyways or countries that have fast, consistent well-funded and well-maintained public transportation.

Its basically an impossibility in America because outside of the Major cities, public transit is barely existent. It's why flying is a top way to get around the country.

Also, not for nothing, but there's nothing quite like having a car and the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, doing whatever you want, for however long you want, only limited by the money in your bank account or the amount of debt you're willing to assume.

Watch, you'll need dlc to start the car one day, lmao what a world

Fuck cars. Make carless cities.
Requires an infrastructure budget no politician would ever get voted in for proposing. As such, I want to get to my destination now, not 5 days from now when the next bus run is scheduled.

I'm not seeing the problem here. If you don't want the optional extras then don't pay for them. That's how it's always been lmao.
If you get one of these cars through a company car scheme, the tax you pay on it will be lower, then you could upgrade the car yourself while still paying the same amount of tax.

i mean, sort of. i cant tell if you're being disingenuous here, or you're not informed. historically, if you want an additional feature on a car you pay for it as a one-time, up front fee. people are upset about this because it's asking for a monthly fee to access a feature that's already installed on the car. it's fucking stupid. do you really not understand the difference?

What was that scifi movie where you had to pay for oxygen or else they would cut it and let you die?
Total Recall? That movie with Eddie Murphy on the moon?
It is the future.

you already paid for it when you bought the car. they didnt sell the car to you at a loss hoping maybe you might deign to pay a subscription fee. its not an optional feature because its hardware included in your car that you paid for when you bought your car. you cant choose not to buy heated seats

It is like selling a complete home and then charge extra if you want your freezer to be cold.

I suppose this could be a good thing, buy the lowest priced model and jailbreak it for all the features!

Buy the cheapest model used after warranty and then jailbreak it. Then sell it on.
