Don't think about the one actual subscription service here. Think about all of the features that are technologically built into the car that you can't access without paying a subscription fee.
The options I see on this screenshot seem to be options that need a data connection to work, so I can understand a subscription for that. There is no free Internet mobile connection afterall. The monthly payment option is expensive for sure but the annual option is not too bad.
Except they all have terrible privacy policies and sell all your data already. They make more than enough from that and even if you don't pay for subscriptions they are paying for data to listen to your conversation and track your location to sell it. The data usage for subscriptions are also probably very small compared to all of the other crap.
You got a good point.
