But a subscription? That's more akin to saying we'll send someone to de-tune the car you've had tuned unless you pay us protection money monthly.

    Its also available as a one time lifetime payment.

    I had a Volvo V70 that I could get an extra 30hp for $2000 through the factory supported polestar tune... I decided not to because I couldnt try before I bought. If I could have bought it for a month then decided I probably would have.

    The Lemmy community is outraged by this, car enthusiasts just see this as business as usual.
