Microsoft is coming out with Office 2021 which is a one time purchase as I bet they found people do not want to pay yet another monthly charge as they would do with Office 365.

They also have Office for the web which is free.
The price of cars are way to high now. There must be a car company that would have a base model where you could plug in a module if you wanted other features but for what?
A car is for driving to where you want to go. You do not need any other features but an engine and 4 tires.
I do not see paying for radio or seat warmer or gps map when you already have a cell phone with a bluetooth connection and can buy seat warmer or a/c seat cushions.
They would make you subscribe to activate the connectors. Joking aside, I think it is highly unethical to disable something that is already part of the car and is directly related to safety and performance. I am thinking 737 Max type greed.
