What absolutely baffles me with Tesla in particular (I'm not sure whether other manufacturers do it) is every conceivable feature is built into the car but you have to pay a premium to unlock them. If my car comes with a stereo I want to listen to it without having to pay extra to have knobs installed so I can turn it on (analogy relating to vehicles I'm familiar with).
Heated seats, other features, all provided dependant on your willingness to pay a premium for a software update to activate them, it seems like nothing more than a scam. Were I ever in a position to buy a Tesla I'd soon have my son writing a hack to get me the premium features I've already paid for (as far as production costs go, they don't just give them away) and activating them all.
Soon life will be a subscription service, pay up or die.
Software scamming has become UNBELIEVABLE.
