Expect software updates for Tesla automobiles to become progressively more expensive and more difficult to install, they will also be packaged with adware.
All patents will be closed and litigation against all other electric car makes will ensue.

I would be less concerned with adware and more concerned about short-cutting best practices. For example, prior to Oracle acquiring Sun, they used to build packages that would move the compiler (out of the way) and drop in their own packages under /usr/bin to make Oracle re-linking happy. After the acquisition, all of the push-back on such practices were bypassed. They did similar things in linux RPM packages. Oracle RPM's would install files to /tmp, move files owned by other RPM's out of the way and move their files from /tmp to /bin, thus bypassing any dependency conflicts. Now imagine them applying this mind-set to the Tesla cars. I am curious what could go wrong.
