    Heh I had to look the last one up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383677178842

    Anyway I guess people understandably don’t like the idea of software gated subscriptions creeping into the mechanical parts of cars. It’s not only selling the same thing for more: it’s a safety/security risk.

    Your modem card won’t kill someone if its subscription software bugs out.

    Tesla shouldn’t have done it either… honestly people just didn’t really know much about them back then.
