    LOL who are these idiots buying their crappy cars? You only have yourselves to blame. Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.

      100 million Americans are screaming Elon/Tesla is a business to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans are screaming that EVs are a vehicle type to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans do not scream, do not post, and do not have any higher opinion about the cars beyond being cool, cheap to fuel, or quiet.

      The only cases I’ve heard that fit this, is some of the old model S where “free supercharging” got removed from vehicles that were resold through Tesla.

      Do you have a link to cases where functionality actually got removed from vehicles sold privately directly? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, I just haven’t heard of any.

          Yeah they probably could, like all manufactures can these days, but I haven’t heard of it actually happening outside of them going back in to Tesla to be resold. Directly from person to person they retain features and even free supercharge access.

    Fuck Tesla and any/every other automaker for switching to subscription-based anything for features. As if the fuckstick hasn’t already raped people on price enough as it is. The board is completely lost and a bunch of idiots to keep fumbling over Lord Elon’s decisions.

    You can’t get a refund if you’ve been paying a subscription for a missing product.

    If they want a subscription based car. Then at the very least I want to “rent” a car under that subscription, and not just one car. Whatever car I choose and for how ever long I want.

    Oh that will never happen? Cool I’ll keep my 20+ year old car with no data gathering.

      Very much on purpose. Might’ve a long time ago if I didn’t mind losing physical buttons. Before the nazi tires were revealed, now the vehicles themselves don’t matter at all. I’ll never buy one.

    Tesla: if you persuade at least 10 million idiots to subscribe for fsd (and reach a lot of other impossible targets) we will give you one trillion dollars

    Evil company does evil shit. Then again roads will be safer if fewer people have access to it and more annoyed drivers could potentially be a good advertisement for public transport. It‘s not all bad.
