Jesus fucking Christ how does anyone buy any of his shit anymore, this is the most insane dumbfuck bullshit I’ve ever heard. Next up, Tesla model X x edition that projects musks xes all over your windshield and the car wont drive unless you pay $300 a month.

Personally I'd be down with that. Jailbreaking your car is already a thing and there will be an entire homebrew community for software and all that if he keeps being dumb.

Some people will just see it as free hardware!

I don't understand how this changes the cost of manufacturing the car... I don't understand why this exists. Only thing I can think of is maybe it reduces the risk that they will need a battery replacement after 8-10 years since it has less wear? I think with the other standard range models its recommended to charge to 100% regularly where the long range ones take a little bit more care to not go over 90% daily.

Honestly Tesla is better than a lot of others when it comes to subscription locked functionality. The phone key and app is a great example of a standard feature basically everyone else is charging for.
