I wouldn't want this built into my car. The list thing I want is to pay yet another fee for something I already have. I'll stick to plugging my phone into the vehicle for this feature.

> wouldn't want this built into my car

I wouldn’t either. But I don’t think that means I should mandate my preferences be extended to all by banning the damn thing.

Simpler: mandate a network kill switch that doesn’t unnecessarily compromise functionality. (You would have to be creative about anti-theft tracking functions. But this is solvable.)

This could still work, just not have data.

Something can be functional but useless

Edit, or rather.. functional but unused

> You do see how proposing banning maps with traffic updates tanks the whole concept, right?

You have it on your phone already, the car has no reason to have its own, with its own network connection.

You can turn this off right now with tesla maps.

Why can't I just use my phone for this?

I think the issue is that some people have different preferences.
