Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

    Really? That is the exact opposite of what I’ve heard! Sure all the other companies are copying Tesla’s successful model, but I was under the impression that they basically pioneered the idea of selling you a car with features you have to pay again or subscribe to use, and having this always-connected DRM approach to remotely disabling things.

      Nope, like I said the only subscription is for the premium data plan. You even get basic data for free.

      I can concur with Socsa. I paid $100/yr for the data but in comparison, Tesla’s light on the subscription model. My Chevy from 2018 wanted $10/mo for OnStar, $20 for hotspot, and $ for SiriusXM (which I will never subscribe to again since unsubscribing is such a goddamn nightmare).
