Then shouldn't any other upgrades you buy be tied to your account? Heated seats? Leather? Why should we treat meat space items differently than digital space ones?

Because when you sell the car, and do your account migration you can't remove leather digitally. Seem rather clear. > Why should we treat meat space items differently than digital space ones? Because they are different? Because people want to?

  So just because it costs something to remove meat space features and doesn't for digital? Seems like a good reason to disallow OTA up and down grades

    Let's say you buy a house with an IoT refrigerator. Should any non-subscription upgrades to said refrigerator be invalidated because ownership changed? Should Samsung be able to disable supercooling mode? What if the fridge was recertified by Samsung and they turned supercooling on and forgot to turn it off before reselling it?

      If Im buying a house, the last thing I want to think about is a refrigerator license. If Im buying a refrigerator and the conversation turns to licenses, im just going to nope out of that, I just want something that works

    Read my first actual post. My point was not that they should be able to just do that. My point is that it needs to be contractually clear what is gone happen. What are parts of the car and what are services you are buying with your account. Neither way to do it is wrong and suggesting so is just dumb, the same trade-off exists all over the place in other industries as well.

  You could totally remove heated seats digitally though. Just disable the heated seats button via a diagnostics computer. No need to remove the physical button or the actual heating elements.

    Yeah but you can't grantee that any other Tesla a user has can activate heated seats. Whatever model you go with it needs to be clear when you buy it how its gone work.
