I already had heated + ventilated seats with the optional multi-contour (air based) cushions, but without the memory package, so they weren’t fully electric. Each of these things was an option, and there were more that I didn’t have that I probably didn’t know. Somehow they made a profit off the car. I also had the four zone climate control as opposed to the two zone, which was also an option over the manual air conditioning.
This was a 2003 car. No subscription, you just paid for the options you wanted.
In 2025 I would expect heated seats to be standard in any car more expensive than the very base model Dacia. Super simple tech, very easy to make, and pretty much a necessity in some areas of the world, particularly where I live.

Uhh… You do realise that you can choose options when you order the car, right? There are enough options on some cars that if you wanted to stock every combo, you’d need billions of cars.

Some of those options are easy to retrofit, others require assembling to order.

None of these get retrofitted on new cars. They’re literally built to order unless you buy a demo vehicle or an in-stock vehicle and those usually don’t have a lot of variety anyway, they’re meant for fleets more than anything.
