I’ve been wondering how much
I’ve been wondering how much of this practice is going to carry over into the Solterra. Subaru has been charging for their Starlink service in my household since 2014 (across 10 or so vehicles) and provides little to no value except for the remote start in my wife’s latest Forster. Now with the increased push to capitalize on revenue from captive customers (which amounts to extortion) my biggest concern (as a Subaru customer wanting an EV) is how much monthly pay-for functionality is going to get “designed into” these vehicles. I was very excited to see the Volvo XC40 until they announced all the Google integration. That kills the entire line of Volvo and Polestar vehicles for me, as I am not intentionally feeding that corporate data-mining operation one bit.
