It's an established practice to allow consumers to buy a product at a lower price point without complicating supply chain. It's explained well in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6z2fwd/did_tesla_just_upgrade_my_60d_due_to_the_hurricane/?utm_content=comments&utm_medium=hot&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=teslamotors https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6z2fwd/did_tes...
- serf 9y agoit's also a way for Tesla to fuel their own positive PR in situations like this. Pretty crummy.
- newman8r 9y agoI know it's an established concept (I put modded firmware on my nikon d5100 - basically makes it more like a d7100) it just seems perverse in this situation though. vehicles have more of a 'life and death' component than a digital camera
- artursapek 9y agoIt threw me off at first as well, but I think getting more Teslas on the road warrants pursuing this kind of business practice.
