How is asking you a follow-up question a strawman exactly? What do you think a strawman is?
Because the question was answered in my original question. You don't. That's why it's an additional subscription feature.
My question was why the guy claimed it was a basic feature when it never was.
And then you came along and asked "well hurr durr why do i need to unlock my car from my phone"
You don't. So you don't need the subscription. Done.
So why is it worth a subscription? You're defending it as something that is not a basic feature that validates the subscription, but asking what the feature actually provides is somehow a strawman?
Oh you were seriously asking? It allows me to unlock the car from my couch when my wife wants to get something out the car real quick. Or i don't wanna carry my keys around.
I can also start the A/C 30 minutes before i leave so i dont have to freeze to death in winter.
I don't know what makes you think I wasn't asking, and I still don't understand what you think a strawman is, but thank you for actually answering the question.
Personally I can think of better uses for $150 a year then "I don't like having keys in my pocket/near the door" but I guess there's a reason we keep seeing more companies trying to profit off subscriptions...
It's a basic convenience/status in exchange for money.
You wanna control your house from your phone? Sure, pay me for the effort of keeping all that shit secure.
I like convenience, that's why i eat out 6 days a week.
