> This is completely disingenuous at best, and malicious at worst. This is a perfect example of the boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness [1]. This is just taking advantage of the poor-middle class' inability to pay a larger upfront cost, to extort them for more over a larger period of time. Self-driving is going to be a service. It'll never be "done". Let's be very clear about this. So what's actually is happening is Tesla charges you for something it can't give you yet, and something that will require ongoing maintenance i.e. you'd be paying a subscription in the long run again (just wait and see). VW just starts with the right model from the get go and doesn't set you back $10K on empty promises. Who is "completely disingenuous" here?
