The car companies lock some of the features using the software. BMW also introduced a subscription model for its heated seats. Likewise, Toyota also announced that the company will charge $8 per month to enable a feature that starts the car remotely without a key.
Tesla has been using some subscription models since 2019. Tesla’s Model 3 subscription will help the car to accelerate half a second faster. All these features are already available in the car, however, the companies use software blocks that require subscriptions to unlock.
Mercedes-Benz is introducing a new “acceleration fee”. According to a report by BBC, Mercedes-Benz will charge their clients $1200 annually to make the car go faster.
This subscription model will allow the car to accelerate faster and reduce the time required for the car to go from 0 to 60mph by a second.
With this subscription, the Mercedes-Benz EQ, EQE 350, and EQS 450 will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.2 sec. Without the subscription, these cars will take 6.2 sec to accelerate from 0-60 mph.
