>Tesla is selling a car with an "upgradable" battery. Only it's not upgradable in the take-it-to-the-dealer-and-they'll-swap-out-some-hardware sense. Instead, you give Tesla thousands of dollars to "unlock" hardware that's already included in your car with an over-the-air software update.
Remember when Intel tried this and everyone fliped the fuck out?
Seems like a waste of money. Why not use what's already there? Or not include it and charge people to bring their cars in for a physical upgrade
Plus batteries cost a lot more than 0.25mb l2 cache does.
That son of a bitch Elon needs to be crucified or burned at the stake.
That's shitty. It'll be easy for ICE manufacturers to shit on Tesla if they're pulling stunts like this.
The epic meme CEO engaging in undeniable anti-consumer practices? Try defend it Teslafags.
It's his company, if he wanted he could have had a dragon dildo attached to every drivers seat, nothing we could do about it
so tesla might be doing hackers a favor and is creating a market for unlocking vehicles.
Fucking hell. Remember when cars came with expansion packs that were just as good and substantial as the original car?
Now companies cut the original car into pieces and sell those as DLC.
Is Elon Musk Jewish?

He's South African, so technically he's African-American now.
Because is easier to just make 1 version of the car instead of 2, and the cost of the different batteries must be negligible.
gas prices drop over 50%, electric cars no longer quite as economical, tesla raises prices to cope with falling sales, pisses off core customer base, sales drop further, tesla goes bankrupt.
we've seen this show before.
No one would want to lose warranty over 3000.
>implying people are buying tesla because of gas prices
Get the fuck out retard.
>He fell for the "green capitalism" meme
fuck gas
It's the same battery.
Fattery.
He made his patents and shit open source, then he does this? It's like he's baiting people into hacking it.
He just wants to watch the world learn.
Nice reading comprehension there pal.
