    While there’s plenty they COULD turn into subscriptions (wifi for remote access, wifi for Apple air play, weather service, directions/charger finder service, smart key profiles, etc.) I have an Airya (essentially this bigger version of this leaf) and all that’s free. You can get a subscription to like… seriusxm radio/weather but… why?

      If you can keep it disconnected from the internet you can keep the company from pushing out a downgrade to introduce new subscriptions. I’m already doing it with my TV. If it doesn’t have subscriptions and it can be disconnected from the internet so it can’t sell my data or introduce new subscriptions, I might buy one.
