The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions [Update]
www.motor1.com
The 2025 Audi A3 looks sharper and comes with more tech, but you will have to pay a subscription for some basic in-car features.

So far there’s subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

      This is trash I have to register and by the looks of it pay just to view the “statistics”.

        You think they are lying? Jesus dude look on any dealership website and count the number of 3 year old cpo’s. This isn’t some exotic loan. It’s extremely common and you can find lease offers at literally every brand and dealership.

        Edit : you might be viewing it via your lemmy client and so it’s triggering a login. I had no issues getting to it but I see what you mean.

        Then as stated, you are not the fucking customer here. Not sure why that’s so hard to accept.

            Clearly. My og comment.

            A fifth of users in the US rent the car itself via lease mechanisms. You aren’t the target. Assuming there are discounts the folks leasing will use these options.
