    The additional price of the full-range version is partially subsidizing the lower priced version.

    That makes it even worse!

        Because they are over charging people for the same hardware. Everyone is receiving the same product except for the fact that the cheaper one is hamstrung by an unnecessary software change. If it wasn’t for that all these cars would be identical. If they can sell it cheaper then do so. If they can’t don’t. If you want to have different price tiers make a version with more actual features. How are you not seeing this as a bad thing?

          Because there is no inherent link between the cost of manufacturing a product and the price at which it’s sold.

          If they can sell it cheaper then do so. If they can’t don’t.

          So if Tesla develops new technology that allows them to produce cars cheaper, should they be required to lower the sale price of their vehicles?
