Comment on GM confirms $130k Cadillac won’t have Apple CarPlay or Android Autoparent

“Our research indicates that with the right mix of compelling offerings, customers are willing to spend $135 per month on average for products and services,” said Wexler.

Assuming this is not a maintenance contract, who in their right mind will spend 135$ per month on "products and services" for their car?

Nobody

I think the CEO's gambit here is that she can keep the reality distortion field up long enough to land $100-150M in compensation by waving hands and saying the word AI.

This is the cross industry playbook, and I'm really tired of it.

Tesla FSD is $100/month, OnStar is $30-$50.

The phrase "people with more money than sense" comes to mind.

The same people willing to spend $130k on a SUV?
