Hi there 👋 when you start a subscription with a trial, the first invoice generated is a zero-dollar invoice and as such you won't be able to use it to initialize the Payment Element.
You can create and use a Setup Intent instead though:

So first I'll create a subscription with default_incomplete, then create payment intent and get client secret and then get card from user, but how will I attach that card with customer?

No, you won't create a Payment Intent (that would charge the customer again), you'd use a Setup Intent instead. You specify the customer when you create the Setup Intent and it will associate the payment method with the customer as part of it being completed.
