It is mind blowing that this is something people are willing to accept. The feature is there, the ecological damage is done already by including those extra resources, and you've paid for the vehicle but don't actually own its capabilities.

Exactly, also you have already paid for them, since there is no way they are selling at a loss.

+ Seat heaters are heavy. You drive them around all year long, they will show up on your fuel bill one way or another.

They are small light-weight pads.

0.25 kg without the wiring per seat, adds up to 5 seats * 0.25kg + tons of coper wiring.

Not mentioned here: Cooling option + actuators - we are only talking about the basic setup, although that is dishonest, as in the subscription car all options are included.
