Automaker’s latest subscription model takes nickel-and-diming to new heights
Fuck me, I own a Mazda and had a mini heart attack before seeing the community name
Rest easy, the non-funny article about Mazda product enshittification by subacription is here https://www.motor1.com/news/729233/mazda-connected-services-remote-start-subscription/
If this were true I wouldn’t have to pay much. I’ve been driving and have only used my horn one or two times, barring hello ‘honk honks’. And the honk I do to let my cat know I’m home and she can stop sleeping in the window
If I cut those out that’s like 2 honks a year.
Yeah, the model mentioned by the article would be rather generous as opposed to a subscription service to enable the horn at all.
There’s no reason to honk as a ‘hello’. That’s just unecessary noise pollution.
bootleg onion?
That’s a clever title.
I’d…I would support this. Honking serves little purpose.
I was behind someone when the light turned green and while the person in front of them took off, they didn’t. No amount of honking had any effect. The light turned red and they suddenly awoke from their coma and ran it.
Some lady was paying zero attention and backed out her parking spot… almost directly into me. Thankfully she was at least awake even if she was mostly oblivious. The horn got her to stop lol
