That’s what they do except for the opt in part.

It works well on freeways. I still don’t use it much on city streets except for the occasional shits and giggles. It has issues on non-divided highways and refuses to drive at my set speed limit.

Just transfer ownership to the company that has the tools and lease it back.

Who else are they selling this too?

The service whose lifetime is over is the “lifetime price lock”.

Lifetime of the service not of the human paying for it. 😊

Model 3 had a big refresh this year (2024).

Just say ‘no thank you’

I had to laugh when I got banned from a sub because I used redact.

I saw an ad for a phone that folds in quarters

Depends on how big the car is.

I absolutely would download a car.

The set number of renewals locks in the price and generally also allows the customer to not renew if that is their desire.

Just pointing out that “filling it up” is not so simple always. On a road trip, you generally rely on DC Fast Chargers since an L2 charger would take hours.

If Tesla went belly up and took the charging network with it, EVs would be much less useful for road trips.

Depends actually. If Tesla shut down, that would disrupt a lot of fast charging. The charger handshakes with the car which allows it to auto bill to your card stored on Tesla’s servers. For non-Teslas, they have to use the app to start charging.

Seeing as my car works when an internet connection is not available it will work. The bigger issue is charging networks. If Tesla went belly up, then charging on their network (L2 chargers should be fine unless they configured to not be free) would be dicey.

You host it yourself.

Well that means I need to find a new mouse because of them even suggesting this crap. I really like my MX Master. Beefy with some weight.

Html isn’t a program or programming language.

I think you mean after they sell their assets to a new company. Leave the lawsuits with the old company who will shut down.
