I remember reading that Tesla sent a “software update” to owners near the wild fires so their cars can get out of the area. The update was to allow the standard Tesla to use the full battery.
The difference between a Tesla that gets 200 miles and the one that gets 400 miles is a software limitation and not the battery modules themselves. So for 3 grand or whatever the difference between the long range and standard range car was software code.
Scary and evil stuff
So the implication is you really don’t fully own the car. Can Tesla send a software update that prohibits you from using the car if the Muskateer so wills it?
but they feel good about themselves, and that’s all that matters
The same scam happened with cellphones.
