At first was a little uncomfortable with the change, but then I thought how much would it be today to add those optionals to a new car.
Checking from my phone, the heated steering wheel is more than 300$, which is more than what would cost the permanent upgrade in the car.
Now we should wonder, having a construction line and distribution system capable of handling optionals like the heated steering wheel, does it cost more or less than 300$? I don't think that the answer is obvious.
Would it be possible that the car get actually cheaper for the consumers?
Also having those optionals allow to turn them on and off at will. Maybe if I swap car with my SO it would like the heated seat that I never care for.
I see the dangerous of this, but I also see the benefits.
Also, this means your car can be resold to someone who wants heated seats and a steering wheel, even if you didn't want it (and didn't have to pay for it).
