>So people should not have the option of paying less of paying less for less features?

They should, it's called buying a different car without those features installed.

>Everyone must pay for features that only a subset of customers use?

You are already paying for those features upfront as part of buying the car - there is no recurring expense to the manufacturer. If you do not want or are unable to pay for those features, you buy a different car without them installed.

What you're arguing for is for everyone to have to pay another monthly subscription, and conflating "paying more for a car" with "paying monthly for non-consumable resources for a car".

But this would simply result in both groups paying more for no benefit. Due to less volume both models would end up costing more.

I do agree that making this a subscription is ridiculous, especially such an expensive subscription. But I think making two models of car and raising the price for everyone is illogical.
