I don't think it's JUST Teslas, any car with its own cellular link is a total non starter for me after that Jeep article 10ish years ago. Give me a key fob, carplay for my music and maps, and that's all the smarts I need. Keep the heated seats.

Sorry heated seats now behind $13.99/mo paywall.

  That's why I'll drive my Slate down to AutoZone and grab the 12v heated seat massager pad and strap it to the drivers' seat. Take that, paywalled subscriptions.

    Our customers have spoken and we are listening. The 12V power outlet in your car now requires a $9.99/month unlimited use fee or an affordable per-watt charge you can pay with a CarBucks card found in all major retailers!
