So to clarify, you dont get heated seats unless you pay 4.5k for a software upgrade?

That was the initial claim. It sounds like they might not actually be turning those off, though.

Seems pretty ridiculous to claim software is needed for heated seats. Usually a hardware setup with a simple switch.

The heated seats can be controlled by an iPhone app and various other means. Pretty sure this involves software. I mean sure software is not needed but then you would be in a different car.

If you need software to control the heated seats in your car, I don't want that car.
