There are other suppliers that don’t treat me as a product to be commoditized, so why should I pay Google to not commoditize me? I do not find any of their offerings THAT compelling.

And, there are actually companies building business models that include advertising, without commoditizing the users (such as DuckDuckGo).
Only pointing out the workplace accounts have very, very different privacy protections. Google treats people who pay them money very differently from free users.

If you don't want to be the product, be the customer.

Knowing a few things about their security and privacy systems, i think the workplace accounts might well have the best combination of privacy and security in the industry. This is subjective, but i spent a few decades in advertising and privacy.

I don't think i can cobble together the combination of storage, email, docs, nav, and now ai from any other company, at a competitive price, with the high level of privacy protection that Google gives paid customers.

Which is very different from free accounts, as you point out and we all know.

I use ddg exclusively for search.

We should probably leave this fine car forum about it's business.

Out.

It’s not complicated, they just don’t care. Once u buy, previous model years get pushed to bottom of priority list or just left behind with no warning. (BC 1.5 for example)
They had the 2025 software ready for least 6 months already. This should have rolled out already.
Not totally accurate. Word is only 2025 vehicles have the hardware to support BC 1.5. Tesla continues to upgrade hardware requirements for GSD 2.0 to 2.5 to 3 to 4 and now word of #5 is to arrive. Owners of previous hardware versions are not always able to get the latest upgrades even they told something different in the past

I haven't read this 7-page thread, but I assume one of the earliest and best answers to the OP's question was "Soon (tm)"?
Yes. And side quests… er… aside, I’d still like an answer better than Soon. 🔜

From my canine point of view: German Shepherd Dog. 😁🐩
Oh, and GSP = German Shorthaired Pointer
GWP = German Wirehaired Pointer
SP = Standard Poodle
TP = Toy Poodle
MP = Sub-Standard Poodle err.... Miniature Poodle 🤪🐩

I am afraid to ask: what is the difference between a Toy Poodle and a Miniature Poodle?
