The new CEO had the beginning of an idea in an interview. The interviewer tried to push back while still keeping the interview going, but it became messy real quick.
Same thing happened earlier this year with Wendy’s new CEO. His brilliant plan to make a name for himself was rolling out dynamic pricing. After days of well deserved backlash Wendy’s had to come out and walk it back while insisting they had never planned to use this to do lunch/dinner surge pricing.
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?
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
So it sounds like they did have plans, or at least ideas, for it but are now backtracking after the 100% deserved backlash.
They were just throwing it out to gauge reaction. They won’t give up on the idea just yet.

If that’s the new CEO’s first idea, good luck, Logitech.

Yep, that’s what I like to call a soft release
Trial balloon.
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.
Weird, my Tesla has 0.

Just because they exist don’t mean I have them.
Sounds like you’re the one confused about it yourself.

Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
