every company brainstorms at some point and come up with a few good and a lot of bad ideas;
it doesn't make it any closer to being a reality, the only difference is that this was made public.
This idea is so bad it should not have even been brought up
We have subscription services in cars now.
I'm betting it'll happen either way.
It's a fucking stupid future.
My car has 6 or 7 subscriptions I believe? I lost count.
And this is one reason why I hate modern cars. But then again, there’s no alternative, and that sucks.
Older cars?
Maybe for now, but there’s fewer and fewer around. In ten-twenty years time it will be hard to find a 90s car with reasonable mileage.
Weird, my Tesla has 0.
Looks like tesla offers a premium subscription for most things and a separate one for the fancy cruise control... So I assume you have an old model or your being a troll?
Just because they exist don't mean I have them.
Sounds like you're the one confused about it yourself.
...no actually I'm not confused at all. What part of that confused you? Or are you just being a troll?
When another person had car subscriptions, it was meaningless. But you having none of them is supposed to mean something. Makes no sense.
What makes no sense is that you think the other person having 7 subscriptions is meaningless in a conversation about subscriptions.
That's what you're saying. "durr that doesn't mean I have them". Whoosh
You're confused. I never said that. But thanks for that very mature response. Troll confirmed. Goodbye now.
I'm grateful for you confirming your status. Troll projection is real
Implication: it happened to me, that makes it universal
Implication: it happened to you, so it is in no way universal
Any other extremely basic ideas you pretend to need ELI5-ed?
Exactly--and someone had to make the unpopular decision to announce it and weather the first round of criticisms. They also will be the first to profit from said stupid idea when they roll it out and the dumbs line up to buy it for fomo reasons or whatever
They were running it by to see if the host will accept the parasite. They will be back folks
Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
