Buying a car and then learning I have to spend more money for a particular feature already built into the car is not a satisfactory experience.

Sure, but this seems like an unfair criticism for something that is currently under development still. It's not like they are asking you to pay a subscription for heated seats, which are there and don't need any updates or maintenance. But self driving is something currently under active development and will always need updates. So a subscription there makes sense, unless you are expecting to get no updates on it.

main gripes I and others

Speak for yourself for, as I pointed out, all of the gripes here don't reference privacy or subscriptions at all. And I like how having the option of getting a subscription is a drawback for you.

    Why is it fair to charge people a subscription for an unfinished product*?

    I'm speaking from my own personal experiences and what I've personally seen here on Lemmy. Take that with a grain of salt obviously, and make of it what you will. I'm just trying to add my perspectives and experiences to the conversation.

    It's absolutely a drawback when the non-subscription option is an order of magnitude more expensive, I thought that was pretty clear. And it's obvious that it's priced that way to drive people to the subscription model.
