They tried this with heated seats and no one wanted it, what made them think would we accept this?

German car makers have become such a joke in the last decade…

Absolutely not. Immediately trade that shit in. Uh uh. No. Fuck off. Keep fucking off. Fuck off some more. Fuck off until you’ve circumnavigated the globe then fuck off again.

Not just not but hell no.

Thanks, I gladly stick with my old non-BMW car!

So, you buy a car with all these features, but you don’t pay for them. They are disabled by default. You jailbreak your car, everything works without paying extra, but then you realize, you broke your warranty.

kameecoding ,

Should be fine on a bmw, they will start breaking after the warranty

explodicle ,

My warranty doesn’t cover jack shit anyways.

We need a FOSS car…

Hardware as Sold Service (HASS (german for hate))

MonkderVierte ,

Thanks, looked for this acronyme too.

What’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?

The porcupine has its pricks on the outside.

I wish that someone sues when something breaks in the car that you didn’t opt in for.

And… yet better, they get sued when something breaks that is in connection with a paid service and someone suspects that it’s because they paid part caused it.

As I said elsewhere, 🖕 BMW

Not like I’d ever own their overpriced garbage in the first place. I’ve worked on them (since the 70’s), they’re over-hyped trash from a durability standpoint. And how they put things together makes maintenance a nightmare.

They could learn a lot from Japan, who’s worst brands are far better

TranquilTurbulence ,

Any observations on Mercedes and Audi?

Glifted ,

Allegorical, but I have 2008 Mercedes C300 (W204). I purchased it in 2017 with 90k miles and I’m currently at 190k. It’s still my daily driver and overall I remain pretty happy with it.

The tl;dr of this car has been toyota-like reliability with maintenance/repairs being uncommon but more costly when they need to be done. I wouldn’t assume my experience is indicative of Mercedes overall.

I’m not a mechanic but I am an engineering technician and test driver in automotive T&V

TranquilTurbulence ,

I’ve also heard stories of a Mercedes giving you 1 000 000 km (or 1 Gm) as long as you take good care of it.

Man, never thought I’d see the day that after market car crackz become an industry.

MonkeMischief ,

Wouldn’t mind those sweet tunes coming back though.

We’ve come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:

“BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage”

Hire a third party to do your tune-ups, specificly one that is jailbreak and hack friendly.

captain_oni ,

Soon, coming to a piracy site near you: [RZR] BMW i3 crack - Full (Heated seats + suspension + AC unlock + headlight fixes)1.05b.rar

Incel_Inside ,

:))))) Amen!

thermal_shock ,

carwarez, websites that look like they came from the matrix with magnet links and mega links.

We start again with a strange Germany in Europe:)

Germany; don’t do this please…

rimjob_rainer ,

Just don’t buy it

tabular ,
@tabular@lemmy.world avatar

That strategy repeatedly fails, companies in the same market will see it extracting more profit and start doing it too.

rimjob_rainer ,

Then don’t buy their products either.

tabular ,
@tabular@lemmy.world avatar

Just don’t buy any car if they all do this in the future? People need a better answer, don’t find comfort in “just don’t buy it”.

rimjob_rainer ,

How about you just stop consoooming. There will always be cars without this and if there aren’t: there are more sustainable modes of transportation anyways.

billwashere , to technology in BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)

What ever happened to you buy a car and that’s it. No need for subscriptions to things like suspensions, steering wheels, running engines…. You know the things I bought.

And what happens when all the cars are like this? EAAS? (Enshittification As A Service)

henfredemars , to nottheonion in BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)

Well to their credit I was never considering a BMW in the first place because to me personally I just don’t see the value of the offerings.

BearOfaTime ,

Because you’re not blinded by ego.

jubilationtcornpone ,

What BMW owners think they have:

The envy of all other drivers on the road.

What they actually have:

An overpriced four wheeled trash can.

LordCrom , to technology in BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)

I can easily foresee the drm services or servers being shutdown, like the Microsoft music server…most you bought can no longer be used if moved.

Eventually they will “retire” this model and shut down servers. Making the car maybe driveable, but won’t have stuff you paid for I bet.

Plus, eventually someone will unlock this with a hacked car software patch anyway.

KillerWhale ,

Insurance company’s will start testing for hacks and denying coverage.

DarkSurferZA , to technology in BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)

I actually think this is a great idea. Hear me out.

They fit the hardware that you can’t touch while the Motor plan is active, but when the right to repair legislation kicks in, and we start debating whether we actually own the cars we buy, all these scumbag practices will mean that any car outside of the Motorplan should be able to run cracked OS’s and everyone gets free BMW features on their cars after motorplan expires.

I vote they keep going for a bit, then they get their asses handed to them with out of maintenance plan service options and 3rd party features.

If all the cars are the same price I’ll buy the one with the upgrade options and then not pay for them.

barsquid ,

I’ll buy the one without an internet connection to be checking if I am subscribed or not.
