Thanks Phil. I've been being very mature in my resolve to not throw
in on this off-kilter topic for fear of offending the poor,
downtrodden Tesla owners who are feeling persecuted here.

Oh, but no, YOU may own the ~hardware~ but THEY own the software, you
only get to use it in compliance with the End User Agreement License.
Anyone here actually bother to read (and understand) theirs?

What comes to mind immediately is owners coming out to their cars and
finding that the recent pushed update has deleted their FM radio from
the entertainment system. Sure, they can get it back - for the small
fee of $500 (or so the story goes).
From the outside, without sipping the Tesla Kool-Aide, it all looks
like a big, expensive shell game.
Cars, even big shiny, luxury electric ones, will never save the planet.
