Sorry Leo, this is simply not true.

Tesla seat warmers, radio etc. work perfectly without the need for a "subscription"

There is a premium connectivity that gives you internet access audio streaming
and a "google earth" like option on the Nav system with real time traffic delay
data. That's about it, and you certainly don't need it to have a fully functioning car.

I believe it was actually BMW who had the gall the charge a subscription for heated seats etc. Suffice to say that "business model" was a total failure.
