The Tesla softlock was not a feature, though, it was an artificial limitation being placed upon the operational capacity of your car. It's like Dell selling somebody a laptop with two of its eight processor cores turned off, and then forcing them to pay a fee in order to turn the cores back on.
I agree with the OP that it is a disgusting business practice at best, and totally indefensible.

- AndrewUnmuted 6y agoI don't think a two or three line IF statement really qualifies as differentiating a product through software.
