This is one of the things that infuriates me about Tesla. The idea of making a capable product, then artificially and deliberately limiting it with your hand out for more money, seems somehow immoral to me. I wouldn't buy a BMW with their infamous seat warmer subscription, either. I think such corporations deserve a few "moneylenders in the temple" slaps. I hate crippleware software, too. I'm a FLOSS kinda guy. In fact for decades I've wished for an "open source" EV, and/or one offered by a nonprofit company. > Bottom line, I'd be ok to say yes now to upgrading (at about $22k): > - if I could get a refreshed straight answer from Tesla as to how much > it costs (surprisingly difficult) and what I get for the money > - if there was not an occasional concern about trustworthiness of the > automaker (but I suppose this goes for others too) > - if the CEO was not taking so many morally questionable positions. Wow! You must really like your Tesla. For $22,000 you can almost buy an entire other-make brand new EV with zero miles on it. Heck, if you wre in the EU you could get one for less than $22k, but it wouldn't have the range you're used to. And I'd just about bet that $22k would get you a pretty nice lightly-used much newer EV of a different brand.
