I wouldn’t want a Mercedes with a subscription, but I’d certainly look for a better competitor to Teslas.. I personally hate the fact that Tesla car comes with a “minimal” dash without tactical buttons and making the driver search for options on a big display for climate controls and such…

I personally want the choice of Apple CarPlay and not be stuck with whatever Tesla thinks is “okay” for me to use..

I have heard from several friends who has a Tesla that the car comes packed with minor defects in for and finish that they don’t bother bringing to service because they know it will be a horrible experience.

I’d rather give my money to a car company that builds quality cars, and not have a cult following, gets a good Euro NCAP safety rating, and allows me to use Apple CarPlay and get out of the way. I have my eyes on a Kia EV6 when I decide to replace my current car in a few years.

Subscription doesn't matter to 75% of the people who buys these things. Also, people who lease these (75% of them are leased) don't care about reliability or resale value...both of which are really poor for almost all German cars.

Subscriptions don't matter for 75% of the people who buy these cars and they're unlikely to have been burned and traumatized by the likes of Android gating their phones like people here in tech.

There are better competitors entering the market, but none can really compare to a Model S. The upcoming Hyundia Ionic 6 will likely be the industry leader, but it hasn't released in the US and last I checked didn't have US pricing, either.

I agree here except my eyes are on the Hyundai Ioniq
